EN | User Manual Technical product description Function description The dryer dries the compressed air supplied by the compressor and makes it available for industrial use. Upstream fi lters clean the compressed air and remove dust, dirt, oil, and water droplets, be- fore the compressed air reaches the dryer.
Page 18
EN | User Manual Technical product description Expansion phase During the expansion phase the pressure in the right chamber is released via the muffl er down to ambient pressure within just a few seconds. The outfl ow of the compressed air becomes noticeable due to a sudden powerful fl ow noise at the muffl er.
EN | User Manual Technical product description Available options The following options are available for the dryer: ◊ Start-up device ◊ Signalling contacts of the control system ◊ Regeneration gas recirculation ◊ Dewpoint-sensing control ◊ Fine fi lter muffl er ◊...

EN | User Manual Technical product description Nozzle kit In the case that the operating pressure deviates from the standard design pressure (7bare) it is possible that the amount of necessary regeneration air changes. This effect may have a negative impact on the cost-effectiveness of the dryer. To prevent this, it is possible to replace the built in regeneration air nozzle by a nozzle with a modifi ed bore.
EN | User Manual Installation Installation Only authorized and qualifi ed specialist personnel may carry out work on pipes and electrical systems. As soon as the dryer has been set up at its installation location, you can install the com- pressed air infeed and outlet lines make the electrical connections.
EN | User Manual Installation Connect piping In order to ensure that the dryer operates optimally, the dryer must be assembled into the compressed air system free of all stresses. Ensure before connection that all infeed and outfeed compressed air lines and valves are clean and undamaged.
EN | User Manual Installation Installing the electrical connection Warning against electrical voltage Only qualifi ed specialist personnel may carry out work on the electrical system! Installing the supply cable The components of the dryer have been connected to the control cabinet at the factory. You only need to connect the control cabinet to the electrical supply cable.
Page 24
EN | User Manual Installation Connecting the external signalling lines For compressor synchronisation The controller is fi tted as standard with a digital input which makes the dryer regeneration dependent on operation of the compressor (switch S1 on the controller’s circuit board, see also fi gure below).
EN | User Manual Start-up Start-up Warning! The dryer must be taken into operation by trained personnel only! Untrained personnel does not have the required knowledge. Such personnel might cause serious faults. Note: You can order the initial commissioning and start-up from the manufacturer and have your personnel trained by the manufacturer.
EN | User Manual Start-up Setting times of the operating phases In its standard version the dryer is delivered with a time-dependent control system. The phase sequence occurs in a fi xed cycle. With the optional dewpoint-sensing control, the dryer can also be operated at variable cycles (depending on the dewpoint).

EN | User Manual Start-up Display Explanation Default display: The fi gure to the left indicates the current processing step; the fi gure to the right shows the remaining time in seconds. In this example, step 2 is being completed, whereby there are 215 seconds remaining.
EN | User Manual Start-up Start up dryer Warning against sudden air ejection! During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffl er: ◊ A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing. ◊ Particles carried in the air fl ow act like bullets and can injure your eyes or skin.
Page 30
EN | User Manual Start-up Operating the dryer for the fi rst time (or after a change of drying agent) separately Depending on the transportation and storage conditions, the drying agent in the chambers can already be loaded with humidity from the environment. At each fi rst start-up it makes sense therefore to operate the dryer from some time separately from the compressed air system.
EN | User Manual Start-up Changing cycle mode (optional) When can I change cycle mode? If the dryer has been successfully commissioned and is equipped with one of the following options: ◊ compressor synchronisation or ◊ dewpoint-sensing control it can be set to economy cycle mode. When should I change cycle mode? Cycle changes should be made during the pressure build-up phase and prior to switchover;...
