 description
The following devices are available on the front
The LAB4 dehydrator provides continuous dry air
panel:
flow up to 300 Nl/h with a dew point better than 2x16 LCD
two function keys
-45C. Output pressure can be set in the range from
bi-color led (power on, alarms)
1 kPa to 6 kPa. on/off outlet valves

The LAB4 achieves reduced mechanical wear and
noise and therefore a long lifetime by output
pressure measurement, microprocessor control and
a pump speed regulation. Pumps speed control
avoids mechanical pressure regulators eliminating
undesirable pressure losses and a worse response
to plant air flow regulation.
Two drying chambers contain the desiccant and dry
airstream by adsorption process. The chambers
operate on alternate cycles so while the first
chamber dries, the second one regenerates the
desiccant by heating and backwashing with a small
reverse dry air flow.
The dehydrator also adjusts the switching interval
between the two drying chambers according to the
amount of dry air supplied to the plant.
This technology reduces overall power consumption.
The LAB4 provides front access keys to set the
operating pressure at any time.
Output pressure measurement and hour meter
values are displayed on the LCD.
The basic version has low pressure, high pressure,
high humidity, power and system failures alarms. All
alarm messages are locally signaled by the display
and remotely signaled by one SPDT relay.
As option are available:
10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface for remote control,
variable area flowmeter, glass tube type, placed
on the front panel
electronic flowmeter with data showed on the
display
pump-rate measure showed on the display
Power supply and alarm remote connectors, outlets
with hose-tail fittings are available on the rear panel.
The LAB4 always includes wall, 19 and ETSI N3
rack mountings.
