    1.3 Basic Compressed air contains contaminants such as water, oil and particles. Impurities need to be removed or their concentration reduced to an acceptable level according to the requirements of the application. The ISO 8573-1 standard specifies the purity / quality of the air for contaminants. The humidity (water vapor content) can be expressed in terms of Pressure Dew Point (PDP).

  • Page 11: Refrigeration Air Dryer Operation

    4 Refrigeration air dryer operation The refrigeration air dryer is designed to remove moisture from the input air to achieve the desired dew point at the exit. All refrigeration air dryers described above operate according to the same principle. The operation of the refrigeration air dryer can be divided into two main circuits: Air and refrigeration circuit.
  • Page 12: Refrigeration Air Dryer Components

    5 Refrigeration air dryer components 5.1 Compressor The compressor sucks the gaseous phase of the refrigerant from the evaporator (low pressure side) and compresses it to the condensation pressure (high pressure side). Built-in compressors are manufactured by leading manufacturers and are designed for applications where high compression ratios and high temperature differences are present.
  • Page 13: Controller Rdc 2

    5.4 Controller RDC 2 The controller RDC 2 shows the temperature of the dew point reached by the refrigeration air dryer in the normal operation. By pressing the UP (▲) button, the outlet temperature of the compressor is displayed. By pressing the DOWN (▼) button, the condensation temperature is displayed (the temperature sensor is connected) or the condensation pressure is displayed (the pressure sensor is connected).
  • Page 14: Electric Scheme Rdc 2

    5.4.1 Electric scheme RDC 2 The controller has 3 outputs (230 V), for compressor, fan and drain. The other outputs are for alarm. The alarm is triggered via opto triac, which can handle 600VAC/50mA. Controller can also be turned OFF/ON via In. Remote. When the current flows, the controller goes to OFF state, when the circuit is disconnected, the controller is in ON state.

    5.7 Safety functions For protection against low-pressure, the low-pressure switch is added (RDP 750-1900). Other safety functions are implemented in the controller. 5.7.1 Low-pressure switch LPS: Low-pressure protection device on the suction side of the compressor trips, if the pressure drops below the pre-set value.
  • Page 19: Efficiency

    6 Efficiency The efficiency of the refrigeration air dryer and the desired pressure dew point temperature depends mainly on the right size of the RDP drier. To ensure efficient operation, the RDP refrigeration air dryers are available in a large number of sizes and operating conditions. It is advisable to provide the following information when ordering or technical assistance: •...

    10 Start-up 10.1 Before start-up Before start-up, check that the operating parameters correspond to the nominal values indicated on the data label of the dryer (frequency, air pressure, air temperature, ambient temperature, ...). This dryer has been fully tested, packaged and checked before shipping. Nevertheless, it may happen that it is damaged during transport.
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    12 Maintenance During the maintenance work on the refrigeration air dryer, turn it off and wait 30 minutes for it to cool down. Some components can reach high temperatures during operation. Weekly check that the dew point shown on the controller is appropriate. Also check the correct operation of the condensate drainage system.
  • Page 25 ● The inlet air is too hot. Establish normal operating conditions. ● The inlet pressure is too low. Establish normal operating conditions. ● The flow of inlet air is higher than the flow of the dryer - reduce flow - establish normal operating conditions.
