1 General information 1.1. Device information Model of refrigeration air dryer: Serial number: Year of manufacture: Date of installation: Please fill in the fields carefully. Correct data enables proper and efficient maintenance of the device, selection of suitable spare parts and technical support. 1.2.
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).
2 Safety instructions Improper use of the compressed air system and electrical installations can lead to injury or death. ⚠ Improper handling (transport, installation, use, maintenance) of a refrigeration air dryer can lead ⚠ to serious injury or death. The result of improper use may be damage to the device and/or reduced efficiency of the dryer.

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.
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.
5.4 HMI After the dryer is turned on, the heaters on the compressors start to heat the refrigerant. The counter is also initialized and hours counted are displayed. It is recommended that the heater runs for 12 hours before the dryer operates. Once the 12 hours pass, the dryer can be started by pressing the F1 button. When the F1 button is pressed, the heaters turn off and the starting sequence is initialized.
b) Operation of fan and compressor 1) Normal operation: • Compressor 1 is always running • Compressor 2 is regulated by condensation and evaporation pressure • Fan is regulated by condensation and evaporation pressure Dew point temperature in green color is displayed. •...
5.6. Electronic condensate drain The separator consists of a condensate reservoir in which the capacitive sensor continuously checks the level of the liquid. As soon as the tank is filled, the sensor sends the electronic board a signal and the membrane solenoid valve opens and releases the condensate from the system. For a complete drainage of the condensate, the valve opening time must be set precisely for each individual condensate outlet.
.......................... ● The electromagnetic valve diaphragm is dirty - open the drain and clean it. The spout blows out air. ● The capacitive sensor is dirty - open the condensate separator and clean the plastic tube of the sensor. ●...
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: •...
9 Installation 9.1 General requirements for installation The RDP refrigeration air dryer is designed to operate in an environment that ensures the following conditions: • Internal installation, clean and dry space Non-aggressive atmosphere • The minimum ambient temperature is +1,5 ° C •...

Bypass air valve Type A installation is recommended when the compressor operates at a reduced interruption rate and total consumption that equals the flow of the compressor.
The dryer must stand firmly on a horizontal basis. The tilt of the unit must not exceed ± 3 °. • The best way to achieve these conditions is to fasten the dryer with screws onto a horizontal base through the appropriate openings on the base. If the dryer is not installed properly, there may be improper operation.
Ensure that the connection to the compressed air system is correct! • • Ensure that the condensate piping is properly secured and connected to the collection system or collector • Ensure that the bypass air circuit is closed and that the dryer is insulated from the system •...
aluminium ribs of the condenser. Check the condensate drainage function. Finally check the operation of the device. Annually or every 1000 hours check for potential coolant leakage points. Measure and record the power consumption. Ensure that the measured values are within the limit values recorded in these instructions.
● Leakage has occurred in the cooling circuit - contact a specialist in the field of refrigeration. ● Fan always on - PV pressure switch is defective - replace it. The dewpoint is too ● Ambient temperature is too low - establish nominal operating conditions. ●...
