3.4 General characteristics

The Euro---dry compressed air dryer eliminates water vapour from compressed air.
Its construction is simple and it is therefore very reliable and easy to service. The
dryer has two cylinders, the so called adsorbers (see fig. 1), each containing
adsorbing material or desiccant. When one cylinder is drying, the other is being
regenerated. The moisture accumulated in the cylinder is removed from the
compressed air dryer during the regeneration by means of purge air.
The desiccant is a very porous grain material. This material can adsorb large
amounts of water vapour, but is not affected by water vapour.

2 Right cylinder

3 Type plate

4 Moisture indicator

Fig. 1 Front panel removed

Each dryer is provided with a rating plate on which the type, serial number,
voltage and maximum operating pressure are indicated.

3.5 Construction
The aluminium cylinders contain drying cartridges (see fig. 1). The top and
bottom heads are held together by tie rods.

6
3.6 Operation
The description of the operating cycle starts when valve Y1 (see fig. 4, fig. 5,)
is energized and opens.
The entering moist compressed air is directed to one of the cylinders by shuttle
valve V1 and flows upstream through the drying cartridge, which adsorbs the
water and dries the air. The dried air flows through shuttle valve V2 to the dryer
outlet.
At the same time, a limited amount of dried compressed air is passed from the
dryer outlet in the top head and expanded to atmospheric pressure through
orifice O1. This regeneration air flows downwards through the other cylinder.
Because the vapour pressure of the regeneration air is much lower than that of
the desiccant, the desiccant is regenerated, i.e. restored to full adsorption
capacity. The regeneration air containing the adsorbed moisture is discharged
through the solenoid valve and the exhaust silencer.
After 95 seconds valve Y1 closes. The cylinder is slowly pressurized through orifice
O1. After a further 25 seconds solenoid valve Y2 opens. The pressure in the
cylinder is vented and shuttle valves V1 and V2 switch as a result of the pressure
difference between the two cylinders. The fully regenerated cylinder will now dry
the air while the other is being regenerated.

4. Installation

Installation, operation, maintenance and repair are only to be performed by

authorized, trained and skilled employees.

4.1 Requirements
When installing the Euro---dry adsorption compressed air dryer, the following
applies:
- Place the dryer at a location where the ambient air is as clean as
possible and where the temperature of the air never exceeds the
minimum or maximum values.
- Provide enough space around the dryer so that the purge air can
circulate freely.
- Maintain a free space of 1 metre minimum around the dryer for servicing.

4.2 Transport
To hoist the air dryer an adapted hoist must be used which complies with the
local safety instructions. Before hoisting, all loose or rotating parts must be
secured. It is strictly forbidden to stay in the danger zone under a hoisted load.
The acceleration or deceleration of the hoisting movement must remain
within safe limits.

7
4.3 Connecting into the system

4.3.1 Piping
To ensure correct operation of the Euro---dry air dryer it has to be properly fitted
into the compressed air system (see fig. 2).
Correct installation simplifies maintenance and the rectification of possible faults.

Fig. 2 Compressed air system lay-out

It is essential to install appropriate prefilters to remove water and oil droplets to

prevent damage or contamination of the drying cartridges, to prevent
unnecessary overloading of the Euro---dry and to prolong the life of the dryer.
Always use of prefilters with an automatic drain.
It is recommended that an afterfilter is installed downstream of the Euro---dry to
remove possible dust from the dryer.
Deno Compressors BV recommends the following filters for these applications:
- Prefilter: PF + HF or 810 series
- Afterfilter: PF series
The installation of a bypass system allows the dryer and filters to be serviced while
the non-purified air flows through the bypass piping (only valid if permitted by the
particular application).
A filter in the bypass is recommended to protect the compressed air system at all
times against dirt, liquid water and oil.
For this purpose the PF/HF combination or the 810 series is recommended.
If during maintenance the passage of moist air is not acceptable, the installation
of a standby filter-dryer should be considered.
Plugs and caps must be removed before connecting the pipes.
To ensure troublefree operation, the airdryer must be positioned vertically.
Make sure while assembling that all valves and pipes are clean. Also check the
electrical connections of the Euro---dry compressed air dryer. The rear panel is
equipped with carriage holes to fix the dryer against a wall (see fig. 7). An
optional floor stand is available.
The incoming connection is on the lower side, the outgoing connection is on the
upper side.
Make sure that all pipes, filters, valves, etc. are clean. Install the piping and filter
system as shown on the installation lay---out (fig. 2).
No external force is to be exerted on air inlet and outlet pipes and the
connected pipe should not be live.

8
4.3.2 Electric wiring connections
The electrical connections must comply with the local regulations. The air dryers
must be earthed and protected by fuses in all phases against short-circuiting.
Before switching on the main power check the voltage requirements on the dryer
name plate.

4.3.3 Pneumatic control version

When the Euro---dry is fitted with the pneumatic control option, the reducer is
packaged separately from the dryer to prevent damage during transport.
To mount the reducer, screw the union on to the union counter part that is
already fitted into the dryer.
Push the hoses to the “push in Unions”, hoses and fittings with the same number
belong together (the primary pressure goes to the pneumatic switches, the
secondary pressure goes to the pneumatic timer motor).
The setting of the reducer determines the cycle time. The reducer is set to 4.2 bar.
This results in a cycle time of 2 minutes per tower.

4.3.4 Checks
Check if:
- All tubes and/or pipes in the air dryer are in proper condition, firmly
attached and do not rub.
- There are no leaks.
- All fixings are firmly attached.
- The electical connections are secured and in proper condition.
- Safety valves and other pressure venting devices are not plugged by dirt
or paint.
- The air outlet valve and the air system, i.e. pipes, joints, manifolds, valves,
tubes etc. are in proper condition without any wear or defect.

5. Operation

5.1 System start up

When the Euro---dry is installed it can be put into operation (see fig. 2):
1. Close bypass valves BV3 and BV4.
2. Close the valve (BV2) of the afterfilter (F2). Close the valve (BV1) at the
inlet of the prefilter (F1).
3. Start the compressor. Slowly open the inlet valve (BV1) at the prefilter.
4. Check the connections of the dryer for air leaks and repair if necessary.
5. Switch the power on.
6. Let the dryer operate for several hours with outlet valve (BV2) closed to
completely regenerate the drying cartridges.

5.2 Dryer start up

When the Euro---dry initial start up procedure is complete, it can be put into
operation. The (daily) start-up of the dryer is described below (see fig. 2):
1. If the dryer has not been used for over three months, the drying
cartridges must be regenerated, as described in the “System start up”
section above.
2. Switch the power on.
3. Gradually open the valve (BV2) of the afterfilter.
4. Close bypass valves BV3 and BV4 when necessary.

5.3 Shut down

To shut down the Euro---dry: 1. Open bypass valves BV3 and BV4 when necessary.
1. Open bypass-kleppen BV3 en BV4 in dien nodig.
2. Close the inlet valve (BV1) of the prefilter. Close the valve (BV2) of the
afterfilter.
3. Check the venting of the pressure through the silencers. When the
venting stops, the dryer is depressurized (when not, consult the trouble-
shooting list). Now turn off the dryer.

6. Maintenance

This chapter covers the periodic maintenance schedule. Please note the points
below when performing maintenance.
1. Use original replacement parts only.
2. Before doing any work involving maintenance, or adjustment, be sure
the electrical supply has been disconnected, and the dryer.s entire air
system has been vented of all pressure.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the parts.
4. Never leave tools, loose parts or cleaning rags in or on top of the air
dryer.
5. Check the condition of the silencers of the air dryer. If it is not in good
condition, replace the damaged material, using genuine spare parts.
6. Check operating pressures, temperatures and time settings after
maintenance or revision. If operating and safety devices function properly,
the air dryer can be used.

10
6.1 Daily
- Check the correct operation of the automatic drain devices of the prefilters.
Prefilters without automatic drain have to be purged regularly.
- Regularly check the correct switching of the cylinders.
This can be observed by listening to the purge air sounds every 2 minutes.

6.2 Twice a year

The following points are to be checked at 6 month intervals:
1. Check for damaged wiring and loose connections.
2. Check the correct functioning of the PCB or the cam switch and the
solenoid valves.
3. Check the exhaust silencers for contamination.
When the silencers are contaminated, maintenance as shown in the
next paragraph is necessary.

6.3 Yearly
Annually, the dryer requires some extra attention.
To simplify the annual maintenance, we assembled a service set (as shown in the
spare parts list, part 8.3).
The life of the drying cartridges depends on the operating conditions.
Under normal circumstances, the dryer will retain its full drying capacity for 18000
to 20000 operating hours or 3 years, whichever comes first, after which the drying
capacity will reduce.
To maintain optimal performance, preventive maintenance needs to be
performed before the above mentioned period period ends.
For this preventive maintenance, a maintenance set is available (as shown in the
spare parts list, part 8.3).
This set contains all necessary parts, including drying cartridges.
The filter elements of the prefilters and afterfilters have to be replaced at least
once a year. They have to be replaced earlier if the pressure differential indicator
is within the orange or red coloured zone.

7. Trouble shooting

Before starting maintenance or repair on the dryer switch the power off,
depressurize the cylinders (see part 5) and take measures to prevent accidental
start-up of the dryer.
An electrical failure should be repaired by an electrician. He must make sure that
the wiring is not worn out, damaged or broken and that the clamps are tightly
connected.
