Safety and Responsibility Pressure forces Compressed air is a contained force. Uncontrolled release of this energy can cause seri- ous injury or death. Before all work on a pressure system: close shut–off valves or otherwise isolate the machine from the air network to ensure that no compressed air can flow back into the machine, Do not carry out welding, heat treatment or mechanical modifications to pressure com- ponents (e.g.
Safety and Responsibility 3.5.2 Safe machine operation Here is found information to support safe conduct with the machine. Transport Use suitable lifting gear that conforms to local safety regulations. Attach lifting gear only to the designated points on the machine. Note the centre of gravity to avoid the machine tipping.
Safety and Responsibility Decommissioning / disposal Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Give refrigerant only to authorized bodies for disposal. Dispose of the machine in accordance with local environmental regulations. 3.5.3 Organisational measures Designate personnel and their responsibilities. Give clear instructions on reporting faults and damage to the machine. Give instructions on fire reporting and fire–fighting measures.
Safety and Responsibility In Emergency 3.7.1 Contact with refrigerant Inhalation: Remove the affected person to fresh air and make him or her rest. If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration and call for medical assistance. Skin contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Treat burns and frostbite.
Design and Function Design and Function Machine Overview 4.1.1 Cabinet Fig. 2 Cabinet Panel Rear panel The cabinet, when closed, serves various functions: sound damping protection against contact cooling air flow control Safe and reliable operation is only assured with the cabinet closed. To open the cabinet, loosen the retaining screws in the front and side panels with a screw- driver and remove the panels.
Design and Function General Design Fig. 3 Machine overview Compressed air inlet Compressed air outlet Control cabinet Safety pressure switch Refrigerant condenser 10 Filter/dryer Heat exchanger 11 Refrigerant compressor Condensate drain 12 Hot gas bypass valve The main component in a refrigeration dryer is a combination heat exchanger (4). A condensate separating system (5) is fitted downstream of the heat exchanger.
Design and Function Safety Devices The following safety devices are provided and may not be modified: EMERGENCY STOP The ON/OFF switch shuts down the machine immediately. It can be fitted with a padlock to prevent reapplication of power. Safety pressure switch The safety pressure switch protects the refrigerant circuit against excessive pressure.
Design and Function Accessories 4.6.1 Bypass line (see chapter 6.5) The refrigeration dryer can be isolated from the air main with the bypass line. The air supply is maintained, however, no drying can take place. 4 --- 14...
Installation and Operating Conditions Installation and Operating Conditions Surroundings No open flames or sparks at the place of installation. Ensure that flying sparks or excessive temperatures during welding work on the ma- chine are not a fire hazard. The machine is not explosion ---proof. Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements with regard to explosion protection are applied.
Installation and Operating Conditions 5.2.2 Operating in a compressed air system When the machine is connected to an air system, the operating pressure must not exceed 230 psig. Initial filling of a fully vented air system generally creates a very high rate of flow through air treatment devices.
Installation Installation Safety Refrigerant DANGER There is considerable risk of injury from released refrigerant if the refriger- ant circuit is incorrectly opened. Do not open the rfrigerant circuit. All functional parts are factory set. Changes may not be made without the permission of the manufacturer. Installation may only be carried out by persons fully conversant with the basic safety con- cepts of refrigeration dryers.
Installation Compressed Air Connection Pre–condition: The air main is at atmospheric pressure. 6.4.1 Shut--- off valves: Take care during installation that no strain, pressure or bending forces are acting upon the compressed air connections. Install user’s shut ---off valves on the compressed air inlet and outlet. Bypass line (accessory) 6.5.1 Bypassing the refrigeration dryer (when required)
Installation Operating with bypass line Fig. 8 Operating with bypass line 10 Hose T---piece 20 Elbow --- compressed air inlet Ball valve 30 Ball valve Observe the position of the valve operating lever. Remove the plug (60 Fig.7) from the ball valve (50). Unscrew the hose (10) from the elbow (20) and screw it into the ball valve (50).
Initial Start-up Initial Start---up Safety Voltage! DANGER Contact with live electric components can cause serious injury or death. Isolate all phases of the main power supply. (switch off the mains supply disconnecting device) Ensure that the power supply cannot be switched on again (locked off).
Initial Start-up Starting the Machine for the First Time Open the shut–off valve to the compressed air system. Switch on the machine. The refrigeration compressor starts and after a short period the machine cools the com- pressed air. Watch for any faults occurring during the first few hours of operation. 7 --- 21...

Maintenance Maintenance 10.1 Safety Any disregard of these instructions and/or incorrect handling may result in serious injuries. Voltage! DANGER There is danger of fatal injury caused by touching electrically live compo- nents. Isolate all phases of the main power supply. (switch off the mains supply disconnecting device) Ensure that the power supply cannot be switched on again (locked off).
Maintenance 10.2.3 Checking condensate drainage Pre–condition: Machine running. Fig. 12 Testing the condensate drain TEST button Check visually that condensate flows from the drain hose. Condensate does not drain out? The condensate drain hose is clogged. Switch off the machine and clean or replace the drain hose. Condensate does not drain out? Condensate drain blocked.
Maintenance 10.2.4 Cleaning the condensate drain Equipment: Compressed air for blowing out Cleaning rags Spare parts (as required) Pre–condition: Machine switched off. Supply disconnecting device switched off and locked out. Close the shutoff valve in the line to the ECO DRAIN. Machine cooled down.
