Operation principle The operation principle of the DA Freezer desiccant dryer is identical to that of the Condair DA 500-4000 standard devices. Please note the information in section 4.3 of the installation and operation manual for the Condair DA 500-4000 desiccant dryer.
Product description The Condair DA 500-4000 Freezer desiccant dryers with applied ducting meet the requirements of IEC protective class IP23. The electrical panel meets the requirements of IEC protective class IP44. 4.4.1 Casing The sandwich-panel housing is made of AISI 304 stainless steel and is filled with 100 mm of insulation material.
4.4.5 Heater for reactivation air For the units with electrical reactivation air heating, the reactivation heater is of the PTC-type (Positive Temperature Coefficient). These special PTC heating elements are additionally protected against wet- ness and moisture and offer the usual protection against overheating. 4.4.6 Electrical cabinet The electrical cabinet is located in a separate compartment on the service side of the desiccant dryer.
Installation Installation and service access As standard the Condair desiccant dryer is designed for indoor installation, and must be installed in horizontal position on its feet, preferably bolted to the floor. The ambient conditions at the place of installation should be within the range: –...
The reactivation air flow is controlled by a damper in the inlet duct of the reactivation air. The air flow must be measured during commissioning and the damper adjusted accordingly. For a solution with a speed-controlled fan, please contact your Condair representative (see also installation schematics in chapter 5.2.4).

DANGER! Danger of electric hazard! The Condair DA desiccant dryer is mains powered. Live parts may be exposed when the unit is open. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life. Prevention: Before carrying out any work set the Condair DA desiccant dryer out of operation (switch off the unit, disconnect it from the mains) and secure the unit against inadvertent power-up.
The rotor is maintenance free. However should it be necessary to clean the rotor the first choice should be careful use of compressed air. With severe contamination, the rotor can be washed with water. Cleaning with water is no routine matter; please contact your Condair representative. Check the rotor bearing and the rotor surface once a year.
Rotor seals As with the air filters, the rotor seals should also be checked monthly, especially in the initial operating phase, and then every quarter, since unfavorable or incorrect operation of the DA desiccant dryer, e.g. operation with a constant process air flow, icing and increased wear on the rotor seals can occur. There is service alarm in the PLC for this purpose, which can be adjusted as required.
