Page 7: Description
Energy Management System (EMS) control or a fixed time cycle. Aircel manufactures various types of desiccant air/gas dryers. These dryers offer fail-safe design in the event of power interruption. Air will continue to flow through the dryer without deadheading; also purge exhaust valves will close preventing loss of air pressure. -
Page 8: Features & Options
Aircel CDP-Series Models 70 - 500 Standard Features • Optimal tower size for low velocities reducing desiccant fluidization, and high contact time for efficient. low dewpoint performance. • Tower pressure relief valves. • Standard design capacity based on 100 psig, 100°F inlet air, 100°F ambient air and PDP of -100°F. -

A fused disconnect is not supplied with this equipment therefore one must be supplied by customer. All electrical fuses, breakers, etc. should be properly sized. Aircel is not liable for any code violations; component damage, downtime or consequential damage related to customer supplied electrical components and connections. -
Page 14: Start-Up Procedure
Aircel CDP-Series Models 70 - 500 Start-Up Procedure At any point during the process of startup or shutdown, you notice anything unusual; we recommend you refer to the operation manual immediately. If you cannot find the answer in the troubleshooting section, contact your Aircel representative or the factory at once. 11. Check the drain valve for proper operation 1. Ensure that the dryer is connected to a and discharge of liquid (filters and suitable compressed air supply. Make sure separators, etc.). -
Page 15: Shut-Down Procedure
Heatless Regenerative Air Dryer Shut-Down Procedure At any point during the process of startup or shutdown, you notice anything unusual; we recommend you refer to the operation manual immediately. If you cannot find the answer in the troubleshooting section, contact your Aircel representative or the factory at once. 1. Slowly OPEN the by-pass valve. 2. Slowly CLOSE the Inlet and outlet “shut-off” valves. 3. To depressurize the dryer after the Dryer is isolated. Turn Power ON … a purge exhaust valve will open and the dryer system starts to depressurize, also the manual vent valve on the outlet afterfilter can be opened to depressurize the Dryer until the tower pressure gauges read ‘0’ psig. - Page 16 Aircel CDP-Series Models 70 - 500 Sequence of Operation (cont’d) Step 4: Extended Drying Vessel 1 A few seconds before the end of repressurization the CDP -SERIES Controller’s integrated Energy Management Purge Reduction System looks at the moisture sensor, if the moisture load is low enough, vessel 1 (T1) will continue to dry for an extended drying period until the moisture load has reached a set high level, the controller will then advance to step 5 and the vessels will switch. This feature reduces the overall purge consumption saving energy and money.

Page 17: Service Information
Heatless Regenerative Air Dryer Maintenance Prior to performing any maintenance on the dryer, all personnel are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the equipment by reading the entire contents of this operation manual. Aircel strongly recommends the strict adherence of all the safety procedures prior to any performing any maintenance activity on the dryer. - Page 18 Aircel CDP-Series Models 70 - 500 Maintenance (cont’d) Semi-Annual Checklist 1. Remove and inspect all filters for excessive particulate loading and physical damage – if required replace prefilters, afterfilters, pilot air filter and mufflers (filter elements should still be changed on regular basis once a year maximum for a 1 shift operation. Change more frequently if operating 2 or 3 shifts such as every 6 months.). 2. Check pressure differential indicator and if it turns red, replace the element. 3. Remove exhaust mufflers. Knock out excess particulate and back flow with dry compressed air. If particulate cannot be removed completely change the exhaust mufflers. Check backpressure in regenerating tower, if more than a few psig on the pressure gauge, clean or replace exhaust mufflers. (Change mufflers on a regular basis typically every 2-3 months for optimum performance) 4. Check desiccant condition. Powder in the mufflers is a indication of the status of the desiccant. 5. Check all solenoid valves - coil condition and control circuit. 6. Check dryer operation. 7. Inspect and clean inlet and outlet APV (Automatic Piston Valves). Annual Checklist 1. Replace elements in prefilters, afterfilters, and pilot air filter. 2. Replace mufflers. 3. Recalibrate dewpoint analyzer probe (if used) send back to factory for recalibration. 4. Replace inlet and outlet APV valve seals.

Simultaneously the inlet and outlet APV (Automatic Piston Valve V1 & V2) shift positions directing the inlet air to vessel 1 (T1) to be drying the air. The air flows up through the desiccant bed and exits to the outlet APV valve (V2) to the outlet particulate filter then to the customer dry process air system. Step 2: Vessel 2 Regenerating Step 2 is a continuation of step 1 except vessel 2 (T2) will be regenerating, vessel 2 (T2) purge exhaust valve (V4) is still open, vessel 1 (T1) is drying the inlet air. A small portion of dry outlet air from vessel 1 (T1) (15% average based on standard design capacity of 100 psig, 100°F inlet air, 100°F ambient air and PDP of -100°F) is taken through a small orifice in the outlet APV valve (V2) and used to regenerate the desiccant bed in vessel 2 (T2) until time has been reached. The screen also shows the (optional) dew point when applicable.
