Installation Operating & Maintenance Instructions

SAFETY WARNING!
Do not operate the dryer until the instructions in the operation section of this manual have been read and understood by all personnel concerned. It is essential that personnel employ safe working practices and observe all related regulations and legal requirements for safety when operating the dryer. When handling, operating or carrying out maintenance on the dryer, personnel must employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local health and safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK users is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers Regulations. Most accidents which occur during the operation and maintenance of machinery are the result of failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognising a situation that is potentially hazardous. Improper operation or maintenance of the dryer could be dangerous and result in an accident causing injury or even death. domnick hunter can not anticipate every possible circumstance which may represent a potential hazard. The WARNINGS in this manual cover the most common potential hazards and are therefore not all-inclusive. If the user employs an operating procedure, an item of equipment or a method of working which is not specifically recommended by domnick hunter he must ensure that the dryer will not be damaged or made unsafe and that there is no risk to persons or property.

IMPORTANT
Safety Signs Operations or procedures involving specific hazards which could cause injury or death if precautions are not heeded, are identified by the following symbols which are displayed on the desiccant air dryer to indicate potential danger points.

WARNING: RISK OF DANGER

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

CAUTION: RISK OF HIGH PRESSURE

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER. PLEASE NOTE: YOUR WARRANTY MAY BE INVALIDATED IF THE EQUIPMENT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED, COMMISSIONED OR MAINTAINED BY domnick hunter OR ITS APPROVED AGENTS.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The adsorptive capacity of the desiccant within the dryer is essentially constant whereas the moisture loading and the air flow through the dryer are continuously varying. In order to maintain the specified air quality downstream of the dryer, it has to be sized for the worst case conditions, namely lowest pressure, highest flow and highest inlet temperature. These conditions may only occur for a small part of the service life of the dryer, for example, the highest inlet temperatures may only be present during the summer months. This means that the moisture loading on the desiccant beds is below the dryers capacity for much of its service life e.g. quiet periods in between shifts usually have lower air supply requirements. To gain access to this adsorptive capacity, a moisture sensor is fitted which monitors the downstream dewpoint, this system is known as Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS). This interrupts the normal sequence of the controller which then instructs the dryer to change over only when the desiccant has adsorbed moisture to its capacity. This effectively elongates the drying cycle. However, as regeneration has been optimised for a fully laden desiccant bed, this remains of constant duration resulting in a period of zero energy consumption; purging is discontinued. In this way energy savings are obtained when compared to the operation of a fixed cycle, without sacrificing the resulting air quality. Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS) is available in two variants, with or without dewpoint monitoring display. This manual describes the operation of and equipment used in the DDS system only, and should be used in conjunction with the standard PNEUDRI I.O.M.I.

3. OPERATION OF DDS CONTROLLER

1. INTRODUCTION The Dewpoint Switching Systems with and without dewpoint display options incorporate two relays designated Alarm 1 and Alarm 2. These relays are preset by domnick hunter and are configured such that Alarm 1 controls the dewpoint switching function and Alarm 2 operates the fault and remote alarm functions. Alarm 1 is configured HI normally closed, and Alarm 2 is configured HI normally closed. The HI function causes an alarm signal to be generated when a high moisture content (i.e. wet dewpoint) is encountered. 2. OPERATION OF DEWPOINT DEPENDENT SWITCHING References should be made to Figure 1 (PCB option without dewpoint display) and Figure 2 (Hygrometer Display). Alarm 1 on both options controls the activation of the Dewpoint Dependent Switching. When the dryer outlet dewpoint is wetter than the set point for Alarm 1, an alarm signal is generated. Consequently the normally closed contact of the Alarm 1 relay opens and the cam timer relay coil is de-energised, the normally closed contact of the cam timer relay remains closed and the cam timer operates. Conversely, when the outlet dewpoint of the dryer becomes drier than the set point for Alarm 1, an alarm signal is not generated, and the normally closed Alarm 1 relay contact closes. The cam timer coil becomes energised causing the normally closed contact of the cam timer relay to open, thereby stopping the cam timer and producing a period of zero energy consumption. This will only occur when the offline bed has been fully regenerated and repressurised. 3. OPERATION OF ALARM (FAULT) FUNCTION Alarm 2 on both options controls the activation of the fault alarm function. When the dryer outlet dewpoint is wetter than the set point for Alarm 2 an alarm signal is generated which opens the normally closed contact of the Alarm 2 relay. This causes the fault alarm relay coil to become de-energised, the normally closed contact of the fault alarm relay closes and the alarm lamp illuminates. Conversely, when the outlet dewpoint of the dryer becomes drier than the set point for Alarm 2 an alarm signal is not generated. Consequently the normally closed contact of the Alarm 2 relay remains closed and the fault alarm relay coil becomes energised. The normally closed contact of the fault alarm relay opens, and the alarm lamp does not become illuminated. 4. FAILURE MODES Should a fault develop on the system the normally closed contacts on the cam timer relay and fault alarm relay close, thereby allowing continued operation of the cam timer and illuminating the alarm lamp. In addition a pair of volt free contacts are provided which open on alarm, these may be used to provide remote indication that a fault has occurred. In the event of a power failure (i.e. transformer fault or blown fuse) the normally closed contacts of the fault alarm relay will close thereby activating a remote alarm. The remote alarm contacts are rated at 240Vac and any external equipment or remote indicators should not exceed this level. 5. INDICATION OF DRYER DEWPOINT A voltage output (1-6V) corresponding to the dewpoint being monitored by the hygrometer sensor may be taken from the PCB on the non-display option and this may be used to indicate the dryer dewpoint. However this output is non-linear and direct conversion to a dewpoint value requires the linearisation data for the sensor version used (available on request). If the full display hygrometer is fitted, a linear 4 to 20 mA (max load 800) and linear 0 to 1V analogue outputs are available.

6. MAINTENANCE
The controller is designed to be maintenance free, however, if required, periodic replacement of the AA0003G filter element upstream of the sensor may be undertaken, in addition to annual recalibration of the hygrometer sensor. If any other maintenance or repair work is deemed to be required, please contact domnick hunter, or a domnick hunter approved distributor.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIDI PLUS range of compressed air dryers are designed to remove moisture from compressed air by utilising state of the art technology to obtain dewpoints of -40 oC, and by appropriate de-rating, -70oC. The MIDI PLUS range of dryers have been designed to require minimal maintenance and can be installed virtually anywhere. The MIDI PLUS dryer consists of an inlet and an outlet manifold joined together with an aluminium column. The column has twin internal chambers both filled with desiccant material. During operation one chamber is on-line (drying) while the other is regenerating, using the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) A small percentage of dried air is taken from the dryer output flow and is used to regenerate the saturated chamber by expanding the dried air from line pressure to atmospheric pressure. During this process, the moisture is physically removed from the regenerating chamber and vented to atmosphere through the exhaust silencers. Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS) - Optional If DDS is fitted, this will adjust the dryers cycle in line with the moisture loading placed upon it, by constantly monitoring the processed air moisture content. Also available as a retrofit to all DME dryer models.

3. UNPACKING
Every care is taken during product packaging by domnick hunter. It is advisable after carefully unpacking the dryer to carry out a thorough visual inspection of the unit for any signs of transit damage incurred after leaving our factory. If any damage is found please report this immediately to the carrier and the distributor involved (if applicable), or directly to domnick hunter ltd.

4. INSTALLATION (Refer to figure 1)

1. General Care must be taken to ensure that the dryer is not subject to flows (even peaks) in excess of the dryers rated capacity. The dryer must be vertical, and level, with the inlet at the bottom. Position the dryer to allow safe maintenance and operation. The dryer can be free standing or secured to the floor via the fastener points provided in the base. The purge air flow is factory set for 6 Bar g (87 psi g) minimum system pressure. Should your minimum pressure be lower, the purge air flow must be reset by trained domnick hunter personnel to maintain specified dewpoint. Suitably rated pipework and connections must be used during installation. All pipework must be secure and safely positioned. If required the exhaust assembly can be piped away, remote from the dryer. DME012 to DME040 range Two inlet port connections are available. Only remove the fitted sight glass from the port chosen as the inlet to the dryer. Two outlet port connections are available. Only remove the fitted sight glass from the port chosen as the outlet side from the dryer. Note: The remaining sight glass will adsorb moisture from the atmosphere and require replacing if the outlet head is not piped up immediately. DME050 to DME080 range One port is available for the inlet to the dryer. One port is available for the outlet from the dryer only. Remove the fitted plug. Note: The sight glass will adsorb moisture from the atmosphere and require replacing if the outlet head is not piped up immediately. Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS) - Optional The DDS system requires a sampling point to be inserted in the pipework at the outlet of the dryer, downstream of the after-filter but before the isolation valve. P.T.F.E. tubing must be used to link the sampling point to the 4mm push-in connector of the DDS system on the dryer. 2. Filtration domnick hunter inlet and outlet filtration must be fitted to the dryer, e.g. WS (optional), AO (recommended), an AA grade pre-filter and an AR grade after-filter are essential. All filtration must be installed using the practices described in the User Guide supplied with the filters.
23

24

25

3. By-pass line It is recommended that a by-pass line is installed to ensure a constant air supply, and safety, during maintenance. This allows untreated air to by-pass the dryer, at the customers discretion during dryer maintenance. The by-pass valve should only be open when the dryer is undergoing maintenance following the shut down procedure. 4. Valves Isolation valves are recommended on the inlet, outlet and by-pass lines.

5.ELECTRICAL DETAILS
This only applies to electrically powered units. Competent qualified electricians must work on dryer supply circuitry. Check the rating plate for power supply requirements. Correct isolator switches must be provided at a safe and accessible point near to the dryer. The dryer must be connected with a live, neutral and earth. The live pin on the dryer has a fuse fitted. Connect power to the dryer via an IEC320 socket cord set, and retain with clip.

6. OPERATING THE DME DESICCANT AIR DRYER

Start up procedure Ensure the dryer inlet and outlet isolation valves are fully closed and that all covers on the dryer are secure. Ensure that a suitable supply of compressed air to within the dryers technical specifications is available. Turn ON external electrical isolator, the yellow power on LED should illuminate and the dryer should commence cycling. NB - all valves must be opened and closed gradually Proceed as follows Using by-pass line With the by-pass valve fully open, introduce air into the dryer by opening the inlet valve until fully open. Allow the dryer to fully pressurise to full system pressure, then open the outlet valve while simultaneously closing the by-pass valve. The dryer is now on stream. Without by-pass line Introduce air into the dryer by opening the inlet valve until fully open. Allow dryer to fully pressurise to full system pressure, then open the outlet valve. The dryer is now on stream. During operation During normal operating conditions the dryer is fully automatic and requires no further attention until shutdown. The yellow power on LED should be ON continuously. The dryer column contains two chambers of desiccant material. Whilst one chamber is drying the compressed air (adsorption) the other chamber is simultaneously undergoing regeneration (desorption). Every two minutes the chambers are reversed in function, this is the changeover point. Changeover is characterised by a immediate venting of compressed air from the chamber entering regeneration. The adsorption chamber is indicated by the relevant pressure gauge on the dryer reading full system air pressure. The desorption chamber is indicated by the relevant pressure gauge on the dryer reading virtually zero. After 1 1/2 minutes the desorption chamber repressurises to equal the adsorption chamber pressure, ready for changeover of the chambers. The pressure gauges and sight glass moisture indicator are for indication purposes only. Dewpoint Dependent Switching (DDS) - optional The DDS system operates as described above, with the following modifications. If the dryer is producing air at a better dewpoint than specified the DDS system will hold the dryer at a point just before the changeover occurs. The green ECO LED will illuminate. Both pressure gauges will read full system pressure. The dryer will resume normal operation the instant the DDS system monitors a fall in dewpoint to the specified level. The crystals in the outlet sight glass moisture indicator should be blue for correct operation, however, if these change colour to pink the dryer is producing a wetter dewpoint than required, and the cause of this must be investigated (refer to fault diagnosis table). Shut-down procedure The dryer can be shut down at any point in its cycle.

Using by-pass line Close the dryer outlet valve whilst simultaneously opening the by-pass valve. Close the dryer inlet valve. The air will now by-pass the dryer, allow the dryer to depressurise before isolating electrical supply, vent pressure from inlet and outlet filters using methods described in the filter User Guide. The dryer may still be pressurised if this is not done. Without by-pass line Close the dryer outlet valve. Close the dryer inlet valve Allow the dryer to depressurise before isolating electrical supply, vent pressure from inlet and outlet filters using methods described in the filter User Guide. The dryer may still be pressurised if this is not done.

7. MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Daily Ensure yellow POWER ON LED is not flashing. Visually check crystals in sight glass moisture indicator for blue colour. Weekly Check dryer seals, fittings and pipe work for air leaks Check inlet and outlet filtration for indication of element blockage (see User Guide for Filters) Ensure correct operation of filtration condensate drainage (if applicable). The desiccant material in the dryer has a finite life dependent upon operating conditions but it will typically exceed 10,000 hours use before it needs replacing. It will also require replacing if contaminated. Care must be taken prior to any routine pipe flushing operations. The outlet sight glass moisture indicator requires replacing once the crystals are no longer blue. A service kit is available. Desiccant changes, service kits and service training courses are available for the MIDI PLUS range of dryers on request. Service kits must only be used by domnick hunter trained personnel. Only domnick hunter trained personnel can remove the covers on the dryer.

9. KNOWN MISUSE
Filters Lack of filtration. Installation of inlet filters remote from the dryer inlet head, allowing possible condensation to occur between filters and dryer. Blow down valve upstream of filters causing back flow / possible collapse of filter element. Installing filters in wrong flow direction. Opening inlet valve too quickly, causing initial high differential pressure across filter element. Differential pressure gauge/indicator fitted wrong way around giving false differential pressure reading. Combining drain pipes from filters to a single drain valve. Inlet / outlet head Pipe diameter too small. Pipework unsupported. Inlet pipework taken from low point of manifold range, allowing bulk water intrusion into the dryer. Control box/electrics Incorrect wiring configuration by user, or incorrect supply voltage. No neutral or earth wire fitted by user to dryer. Additional Items Use of non recommended componentry. Untrained / unauthorised maintenance or installation personnel used. Subsequent increase in air consumption without relation to dryer flow capacity. Purging of pneumatic system and dryer with cleaning agents that have the potential to damage desiccant material. Covers removed or loose during operation.

CARBON MONOXIDE MONITOR

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 The ANOLOX 3050 instrument is designed to measure and indicate the concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO) in the gas sample presented to its input port. The range of measurement can be specified by the user, but the present design is configured for 0 to 50ppm with a resolution of approximately 0.3ppm. CO concentration is measured using an electro-chemical sensor the electrical signal is then passed to a microprocessor, which carries out the following functions : a. b. c. d. e. f. g. Linearisation of the signal using calibration constants. Conversion of the signal into a form, suitable for the instrument display. Monitoring for an alarm condition with reference to a pre-set level. Provide facilities for audible and visual gas alarms. Provide simple means of user calibration. Provide authorised personnel access to change the alarm set-point. Carry out continuous monitoring of the battery condition and warns when low.

1.2

2. OPERATION 2.1 SWITCHING ON When the instrument is first switched on, it carries out a self test procedure and during this operation, the display will show the word TEST. This procedure takes about 5 seconds and also allows a period for the electro-chemical sensor to stabilise. After this time, the instrument is ready to monitor the input gas. 2.1.1 Carbon monoxide concentration in the input sample is indicated on the 4 Digit LCD display. GAS ALARM As long as the measured CO concentration remains below the pre-set alarm level (see 2.2.4), the relay will be energised and the normally open contact will be connected to the common contact. The alarm LED and audible alarm will be inactive. If the CO concentration exceeds the pre-set alarm level, then the following actions will take place : a. b. c. 2.2.3 The relay will de-energise resulting in the common contact connecting to the normally closed contact and breaking the connection to the normally open contact. The alarm LED will be turned on. The audible alarm will be activated.

2.2 2.2.1

2.2.2

These conditions will prevail until the measured CO concentration drops 1ppm below the alarm set-point. The alarm set-point value depends on local health and safety regulations and varies depending on country of use. The instruments are normally pre-set at the factory to 10ppm but authorised personnel may be instructed on the procedure for changing this setting.
51

2.2.4

2.3 CALIBRATION 2.3.1 This is a fairly simple procedure which should be carried out at least every 12 months, or after changing the sensor. Calibration requires a source of clean, CO free air or nitrogen, and a mixture of CO/air of concentration around 50ppm CO. IT SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH CARE, SINCE THE ACCURACY OF THE SUBSEQUENT READINGS IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE ACCURACY OF THE LAST CALIBRATION. 2.3.2 The procedure uses the four membrane keys on the front panel, just to the left of the display, marked MODE, UP , DOWN and ENTER . The keys carry out simple functions allowing the zero and span calibration points to be entered. 2.3.3 The information entered during this procedure is stored in non-volatile memory which means that it is not lost when the Instrument is switched off or when the battery is being replaced. 2.3.4 The basic key functions are :

a. MODE key - is used to initiate the calibration process. It also acts as an abort key, if say the calibration process is entered accidentally or the user realises that a wrong value has been entered and he wishes to cancel the operation. b. UP key - is used to increment the displayed value, during the span calibration process. 1 is added to the displayed value, each time the key is pressed and released. c. DOWN key - is used to decrement the displayed value, during the span calibration process. 1 is subtracted from the displayed value, each time the key is pressed and released. d. ENTER key - is used to confirm the end of each step in the calibration procedure. When pressed and released it automatically advances the calibration process to the next level. 2.3.5 During the first two stages of the calibration procedure, a 3 digit number will appear on the display. These numbers DO NOT actually mean anything to the user, they are only used to indicate a steady input condition. 2.3.6 Setting zero - connect a source of clean air or nitrogen to the calibration or gas inlet and adjust the flow rate to between 30 and 60 Litres/Hour. Press and release the MODE key once. The display will show three short horizontal bars in the left hand digit position followed by three numbers. As the zero gas flows, the numbers on the display will change. Wait until the reading is steady (the right hand digit may flicker (1 Digit) and then press the ENTER Key. The display will change to show CXXX where XXX are the three digits which were displayed before the ENTER key was pressed. 2.3.7 Setting span - connect a source of air/CO having a concentration of around 50ppm CO and adjust the flow rate to between 30 and 60 litres/hour. Observe the display and ensure that the numeric value is increasing. Wait until the reading is steady - this should occur at about 200 with a 50ppm air/CO mixture. When the reading is steady, press and release the ENTER key. The display will then change to show E050. NOTE : If a reading of between 180 and 220 cannot be achieved then the sensor is probably exhausted. The calibration procedure should be aborted by pressing the MODE key and the sensor should be replaced. (See section 3.2 below). 2.3.8 Setting the gas concentration - when the display is showing E050, pressing and releasing the UP key will add 1 to the displayed value and pressing the DOWN key will subtract 1 from the displayed value. Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the displayed reading to match the actual concentration of the air/CO mixture being used. When the air/CO concentration

52

reading is correct, press the ENTER key and the process is complete. 2.3.9 Note that there are built-in upper and lower limits for the air/CO gas concentration. These are set at 55ppm and 35ppm respectively. Values outside these limits, cannot be entered during the process in 2.4.8 2.3.10 The procedure may be aborted at any time up to this point, simply by pressing the MODE key. The data entered during the previous calibration will then be used to linearise the measurement. 2.3.11 Pressing the keys in combinations other than as described above, will have no effect on the Instruments operation. During the operation of the keys the actual effect of the key only takes place when it is released.

3. MAINTENANCE
3.1 Sensor replacement - the electrochemical sensor has a life, in air, of about 18 months. However, this will be shortened if it is constantly subjected to carbon monoxide, particularly high concentrations. 3.1.1 Switch off the instrument and disconnect the DC supply. Undo the four corner screws in the front panel (they are captive in the front panel) and carefully withdraw the panel from the housing body. Disconnect the wiring loom from the front panel by releasing the small retaining clips on the 2 x white plastic connectors and remove the front panel. Locate the sensor cell - this is a 32mm diameter component at the end of the printed circuit board. It is a plug-in device having 4 small pins. Carefully ease the sensor out of its 4 sockets. 3.1.2 Replacement sensors are supplied in a gas tight package, which should NOT be opened until they are to be fitted in an instrument. Examine the new sensor and note that there is a thin spring shorting clip fitted to three of the gold pins. Remove this spring clip and carefully fit the new sensor in to the 4 PCB sockets, ensuring that it is secure. Check that the O ring seal is correctly located on the front of the sensor and that there is no foreign matter on the face of the seal. At this point, it is a good policy to make a note of the sensor serial number and enter the date of replacement in a record book, so that the next replacement may be anticipated. 3.1.3 Refit the white plastic connectors on the front panel and refit the front panel to the housing body checking that the orientation is correct, i.e. that the sensor will mate with the gas flow adaptor in the housing body. Secure the 4 corner screws and re-connect the battery. 3.1.4 Switch on the instrument and allow the new sensor to settle for about 30 minutes, then carry out a full calibration procedure, as described in section 2 above. 3.1.5 There are no other user-serviceable parts in the instrument. If the instrument fails to perform as expected, then contact domnick hunter ltd for assistance.
