CYCL ING AND NON- CYCLIN G DRYERS

Quincy refrigerated air dryers purify compressed air by chilling the air to approximately +39F The lower compressed . air temperatures cause entrained moisture to condense. The condensed moisture carries airborne dirt and oil to the separator where it is removed from the air stream by an automatic drain. Plant equipment will run better and processes more efficiently when operated with clean compressed air. Pay back starts immediately upon startup.

To customize the total air system for optimum efficiency, Quincy provides both Cycling and Non-Cycling refrigerated air dryers. Cycling dryers are of particular interest for larger systems with fluctuating loads, whereas Non-Cycling dryers are typically best suited for smaller systems or systems expecting fairly constant loads. Either way, one need not look any further than Quincy for time-proven and reliable compressed air dryers.

QPNC NON -CYCLING OPE RATIO N

Quincy Non-Cycling Direct Expansion dryers use a two-stage heat exchanger system to maintain consistent dew points. Freeze-ups are prevented and optimum performance is maintained by integrating the highest quality components and refrigeration control valves into our system. Only the most reliable and efficient aluminum, stainless-steel and copper materials are selected for our premium heat exchanger. 10-250 cfm QPNC dryers employ an internal Electronic No Loss condensate drain. All auto drain functions and displays for 325 cfm and larger dryers are controlled by the panel mounted microprocessor. Wet compressed air enters the integral 1st stage air-to-air heat exchanger where it is precooled by the cold air returning from the integral evaporator. Precooling saves energy by reducing the heat load on the refrigeration system.

After the air has been precooled, it flows into the air-to-refrigerant evaporator where its temperature is reduced to +39F This temperature . reduction forces entrained moisture to condense. The mixture of condensed liquids and cold air then flow into the moisture separator where the liquids are collected in the sump and removed by an automatic drain. After liquids have been removed, the cold dry compressed air returns through the cold side of the 1st stage heat exchanger where it is reheated by the warm incoming air. Pipe sweating is avoided and air volume is increased by reheating. The compressed air is now considered treated and ready for delivery to the system.

QPCD CYCLING DRYER OPERATION

Quincy Chilled Mass Cycling Dryers save energy by cycling the refrigeration system On & Off in response to demand. A three-stage heat exchanger system is employed to provide the cold storage necessary for cycling operation. Dual thermostats ensure proper cycling at all load conditions, provide tight dew point control, and prevent freeze ups. The 1 st thermostat signals the refrigeration compressor to cycle on and off in direct response to the coldest air temperature exiting the evaporator. In order to prevent freeze ups during no load conditions, a 2nd thermostat, set a few degrees lower, signals the refrigeration compressor to cycle on and off in response to the chilled mass temperature. Contaminated compressed air flows into shell side of the 1st stage air-to-air heat exchanger where it is precooled by the cold air returning through the tubes from the chilled mass heat exchanger. Precooling saves energy by reducing the heat load on the evaporator. The precooled compressed air is then directed into the 2nd stage, air-to-chilled mass heat exchanger, where its temperature is lowered to approximately +35F by the chilled mass

flowing through the tube side from the 3rd stage, refrigerantto-chilled mass, heat exchanger. The dew point temperature is held within its optimum performance range by the microprocessor. The compressed air flows into the moisture separator where the condensed liquids are removed by centrifugal action and sent to the sump for disposal through the microprocessor controlled drain. After the liquids have been removed, the compressed air returns through the tube side of the 1st stage heat exchanger where it is reheated by the warm incoming air. The chilled mass circulates through the 3rd stage evaporator shell where its heat is removed by cold liquid refrigerant flowing through the tubes from the refrigeration system. When the Microprocessor reads the low set point from the thermostats, it turns the refrigeration compressor off. When the compressor is off, no energy is used. When the microprocessor senses the upper set point it turns the compressor on.
