  • Page 11 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 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 5.4 Controller RDC 2 At startup, the controller shows the time remaining until compressors starts by displaying COMP TIME X MIN. The value X can be changed by changing the parameter no. 5. The controller RDC 2 shows the temperature of the dew point reached by the refrigeration air dryer in the normal operation.
  • Page 14 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 by changing the parameter 13 (Remote control) from 0 to 1.

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. The values are automatically reset when the nominal conditions are restored. Calibrated pressure: R 134.a Stop 0.7 barg - Restart 1.7 barg 5.7.1 Safety functions of RDC 2 ALARM...
  • Page 20 6 Efficiency The efficiency of the refrigeration air dryer and the desired pressure dew point temperature depends mainly on the right size of the UDT drier. To ensure efficient operation, the UDT 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: •...

  • Page 23 If the dryer is not installed properly, there may be improper operation. Fastening the dryer with screws is not obligatory. UDT 20 - 235 drier models can be attached to • the wall with wall screws - the position of the holes in the illustration is shown.
  • Page 24 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 25 12 Maintenance During the maintenance work on the refrigeration air dryer, turn it off and wait for at least 30 minutes for it to cool down. Some components can reach high temperature during operation. Avoid contact with these components until they completely cool down. Daily check that the dew point shown on the controller is appropriate.
