1.1 Introduction
General
FD air dryers remove moisture from the compressed air by cooling the air to near freezing point. This causes
the water to condense. The condensate is automatically drained. The dried air is warmed up before leaving
the dryer.
The dryer can be provided with an optional OSD (a device to separate the oil from the condensate) and
compressed air filters.
An Elektronikon® regulator (ER1) controls and protects the dryer.

Air flow diagram
Air flow diagram
Description
Compressed air enters heat exchanger (1) and is cooled by the outgoing cold, dried air. Water in the incoming
air starts to condense. The air then flows through heat exchanger/evaporator (2) where the refrigerant
evaporates, causing the air to be further cooled to close to the evaporating temperature of the refrigerant. More
water in the air condenses. The cold air then flows through separator (3) where the condensate is separated
from the air.
8 2920 7103 80
Instruction book
The separator is integrated in the heat exchanger/evaporator.

The condensate collects in the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) and is automatically drained. The cold, dried
air flows through heat exchanger (1), where it is warmed up by the incoming air to approx. 5 ˚C (9 ˚F) below
the temperature of the incoming air.
Condensation in the air net cannot occur unless the air is cooled to below the dew point indicated on the
control panel.
1.3 Refrigerant flow
Flow diagram
Flow diagram
Operation
The liquid separator (10) ensures that only refrigerant enters the compressor.
Compressor (4) delivers hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas which flows through condenser (6) where the
refrigerant condenses.
The liquid refrigerant flows through dryer/filter (7) to the capillary tube (8). The refrigerant leaves the capillary
tube at evaporating pressure.
The refrigerant enters evaporator (2), where it withdraws heat from the compressed air by further evaporation
at constant pressure. The refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is sucked in again by the compressor.
Automatic regulation
The condenser pressure must be kept as constant as possible to obtain stable operation. The fan control switch
therefore stops and starts the condenser cooling fan (11).
If, under partial or no load, the evaporator pressure drops to 7.3 bar(e) (105.8 psig), the bypass regulator (5)
opens and hot, high-pressure gas is fed to the evaporator circuit to prevent the evaporator pressure from
dropping any further.

Instruction book
1.4 Condensate drain system
Description
The dryers are equipped with an electronic water drain (EWD). The condensate from the condensate trap
accumulates in a collector. When the condensate reaches a certain level, it is discharged through the drain
outlet.
The condensate can also be drained by pressing the test button (1).

Name Description
L1 LED "drain voltage on"
L2 LED alarm
F Funtions button
The control panel on top of the drain includes a multifunction button and two state display LED's. When LED
L1 is continuously on, this indicates that the solenoid valve is energized; when LED L1 is blinking, this
indicates that the valve is draining. If no water is supplied to the drain, the valve will make a short forced
opening every three hours. LED L2 indicates an alarm situation.
The test button can be used in three different ways:
• When it is pressed during normal operation, it starts a manual drain test.
• When it is pressed during an alarm, it resets the control logic.
• By pressing it for at least five seconds, the self-diagnosis routing will be started. This function is very
useful when the installation is finished, to check if the installation has been successful and to simulate the
alarm situation without having to wait for condensate to build inside the dryer. To return to normal
operation, just switch the drain off and on again.

Instructions
1 The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such way that any recirculation of
the cooling air is avoided. The maximum air velocity through the grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The maximum allowable pressure drop over the cooling air ducts is 30 Pa (0.12 in wc).
When 30 Pa is exceeded a ventilation fan should be installed at the outlet of the cooling
air ducts.
2 Make sure all free water is removed from the compressed air before it enters the dryer.
The water separator and drain system of the dryer are not designed to handle the water
formed in the aftercooler of the compressor.
3 Make sure that no dirt particles (e.g. coming from corrosion in the compressed air network)
can enter the dryer. These particles may be harmful to the dryer's heat exchanger and the
condensate drain.
4 It is recommended to install bypass pipes over the dryer with bypass valves in order to
isolate the dryer during service operations, without disturbing the compressed air delivery.
5 Power supply cable to be sized and installed by a qualified electrician.
6 Filter, type DD for general purpose (optional). The filter traps solids particles down to 1
micron with a maximum oil carry-over of 0.5 mg/m3. A high-efficiency filter, type PD
(optional), may be installed downstream of a DD filter. This filter traps solid particles down
to 0.01 micron with a maximum oil carry-over of 0.01 mg/m3. Should oil vapours and odours
are undesirable, a QD type filter should be installed downstream of the PD filter.
The standard dryer is supplied without filters. Integrated DD and PD filters can be provided
as an option.
For dryers without integrated filters it is recommended to install the filters downstream the
dryer with bypass valves.
7 The condensate drain pipes must not dip into the water of the drain collector.
Do not allow untreated condensate to enter the draining system.
Optionally an integrated OSD can be provided to separate the oil from the water.
For units without integrated OSD, an OSC separator can be installed to separate the oil
from the water.
8 The refrigerant air dryer should be installed on a level floor suitable for taking the weight
of the dryer.

Attention
Cooling dryers of FD type contain refrigerant HFC.
Safety precautions
When handling refrigerant, all applicable safety precautions must be observed. Please be aware of the
following points:
• Contact of refrigerant with the skin will cause freezing. Special gloves must be worn. In case of contact
with the skin, the skin should be rinsed with water. On no account may clothing be removed.
• Fluid refrigerant will also cause freezing of the eyes; safety glasses must hence be worn.
• Refrigerant is harmful. Do not inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately
ventilated.
When removing the service panels of the dryer, be aware that internal elements such as the pipes can reach a
temperature of 110˚C (230˚F). Therefore, wait until the dryer has cooled down before removing the panels.
Before starting any maintenance or repair work, switch off the voltage and close the air inlet and outlet valves.
Mind the sharp edges of the fan blades in case the condenser fan needs to be replaced. The use of hand
protection is a requisite.
Local legislation
Local legislation may stipulate that:
• Work on the refrigerant circuit of the cooling dryer or on any equipment which influences its function
must be undertaken by an authorised control body.
• The installation should be checked once a year by an authorised control body.
General
The following remarks should be kept in mind:
• Keep the dryer clean.
• The dryer is equipped with a new condenser technology, which provides the best efficiency on condition
that the condenser maintenance instructions are followed closely.
