 2.0 INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling refrigerated air dryers remove moisture,
oil vapor, and other contaminants from compressed air. These
contaminants are detrimental to pneumatically operated appliances,
controls, instruments, machinery and tools. This removal is
accomplished by cooling the air with a refrigeration unit to a temperature
at which moisture in the air is condensed and separated from the air
stream. The temperature the air is cooled to, normally between 34° and
38°F (1° and 3°C), is known as dew point. This dryer can be easily
installed into various pneumatic systems in which dry air is required or
desired. Please refer to Principles of Operation for complete operating
details.

 7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling dryers remove moisture from
compressed air by cooling the air temperature to between 34° and 38°F
(1 and 3°C). This causes vapors to condense into liquid droplets which
can then be easily removed from the air. The major systems of the dryer
which contribute to its operation are the Air System, the Moisture
Removal System, the Refrigeration System, the Thermal Mass
Circulating System and the Controls. The following paragraphs describe
each of the systems in greater detail.
7.2 AIR SYSTEM
The air system consists of the dryer components which are in contact
with the compressed air. Referring to Figure 1 and following the bold “AIR
7.3 MOISTURE REMOVAL SYSTEM
Liquid droplets are removed from the air stream in the separator. As the
air and liquid mixture passes through the separator it spins, slows down
and then changes direction. This causes the condensate to fall out of the
air stream and collect in the bottom of the separator. The collected liquid
is removed from the separator by a drain.
7.4 REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The Refrigeration System consists of all the components which handle
R-404A. This is a hermetically sealed closed-loop system. Referring to
Figure 1 and following the phantom“REFRIG(R-404A) FLOW,” refrigerant is
shown leaving the evaporator section where, in the process of removing
heat, it is changed from a low pressure liquid into a low pressure gas.
This gas enters the suction side of the compressor where it is
compressed into a high pressure gas. The high pressure gas is cooled
in the air cooled condenser section until it becomes a high pressure
liquid. It then goes through a permanent filter dryer that ensures the
refrigeration system is free of contaminants. A small diameter capillary
tube meters the refrigerant for introduction into the evaporator. The
refrigerant pressure is reduced upon entering the evaporator where as
it evaporates, removes heat from the thermal mass fluid.
7.5 THERMAL CIRCULATING SYSTEM
The thermal mass fluid in an Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling dryer is
continuously circulated in a closed pump loop system. Referring to
Figure 1 and following the dashed “THERMAL FLUID” line, the heat is
removed from the fluid in the evaporator by the refrigeration system. The
thermal mass reservoir is sized to minimize refrigeration cycles during
reduced air load periods. The thermal mass fluid is pulled from the
bottom of the reservoir and pumped through the chiller, removing heat
Nirvana Cycling Refrigerated Dryer 75 through 150 scfm
http://air.irco.com
FLOW,” hot saturated air from the compressor enters the
precooler/reheater where the air temperature is reduced prior to
entering the chiller by the cool air exiting the air/moisture separator. This
precooling allows for the use of a smaller refrigeration system. The air
then goes into the chiller section where it is further cooled to the desired
dew point by a thermal mass fluid. The temperature of the thermal mass
fluid is maintained by the refrigeration circuit and controls. The air
continues to the separator where moisture is removed, thereby, allowing
the cool, dry air to return back to the precooler/reheater to be heated by
the incoming moist hot air. The air exiting the “reheater” portion of the
dryer should be approximately 15°- 20°F lower than the inlet air
temperature based on standard conditions at full rated flow.

FIGURE 1
from the air and then returned to the evaporator. The pump utilized on
the Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling dryer is a maintenance-free, quiet
cartridge circulator pump similar to those used in residential water
systems. While the refrigeration system cycles on and off based on
loading conditions, the circulating pump runs continuously to maintain
flow through the chiller at all times. Note that when the power switch is
set to the off position, the circulating pump will not operate.
7.6 CONTROLS
The Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling dryer incorporates automatic
controls for proper operation. The thermal mass fluid temperature is
maintained by a thermostat that monitors the temperature and cycles
the refrigeration system in response to varying air flow and temperature.
Upon an increase in the temperature of the thermal mass fluid, the
compressor is cycled on. When the fluid is cooled to its control set point,
the compressor is cycled off. The thermal mass fluid functions as a
thermal storage mass in the Nirvana Cycling dryer.
In addition to the factory set thermostat, a suction pressure gauge is
provided as standard equipment. This gauge monitors the pressure of
the refrigerant gas before it enters the compressor. When the
refrigeration system is running, the suction pressure will pull down to
between 55 to 65 psig, depending upon load and ambient conditions.
After the thermal mass fluid has been cooled and the refrigeration
system is shut off, the system pressure will equalize with a gauge
reading typically between 80 and 150 psig depending on ambient
temperature.
A “High Temp” alarm light is provided to indicate an elevated thermal
mass temperature. The light is controlled by a thermostat that monitors
the thermal mass and closes to energize the light at approximately 50°F.

 8.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP
8.1 LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The dryer should not be located in an area where ambient temperature
is likely to exceed 113°F (45°C) or be less than 45°F (7°C). The dryer
must be located in an area that provides sufficient clearance from walls
and other adjoining equipment to allow easy access for servicing and
maintenance requirements. A minimum of 18 inches is required to allow
free flow of air to the condenser inlet. Dryer must be installed on a level
(< 5° slope) surface for proper operation.
On installations with a relatively steady flow rate, the dryer is normally
connected after the air receiver. If loads fluctuate widely, the dryer should
be positioned ahead of the receiver and sufficient storage capacity
downstream is necessary to prevent excessive air flow through the dryer.
When installed after any compressor that causes significant vibration or air
pulsation, such as reciprocating compressors, proper vibration isolation
and pulsation dampening devices should be added to protect the dryer.
TYPICAL PIPING ARRANGEMENT
FIGURE 3
a NOTICE
Always use a backup wrench when making any threaded connection to
the dryer. Failure to use a backup wrench may result in damaged
tubing and components internal to the cabinet.
8.3 FILTRATION
To protect the air dryer from residual compressor oil and ensure
maximum dryer performance, a prefilter is recommended. Highly
efficient prefilters and afterfilters sized to your drying application can be
provided by Ingersoll Rand, and are available factory installed. Call your
local distributor to select the filter that best suits your filtration
requirements. In addition to air filtration, condensate discharge oil/water
separators are also available to address stringent EPA regulations.
8.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Equipment is available in various electrical configurations. Providing
power to these units is accomplished as follows:
115V/1/60: These units are supplied with a three-wire, 115V cord
assembly as standard. These units need only be plugged into a
suitable 115V/1/60Hz power outlet.
230V/1/60 & 220V/1/50: These units are furnished with a power cord
with leads for a field installed plug. L1, L2, N & GND are indicated on
the leads. Customer is responsible for furnishing a suitable plug. This
plug shall be wired according to the appropriate wiring diagram
included in this manual.
A suitable fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker, in accordance with
national and local code requirements, is recommended for all Ingersoll
Rand equipment. Refer to Section 13 for voltage requirements and load.
a NOTICE
Never wire directly or connect any additional wires to the compressor
junction box. This may cause severe system malfunction.

http://air.irco.com
a NOTICE
Failure to comply to the above instructions may result in equipment
malfunction and will void warranty.
8.2 PIPING AND VALVES
Install piping, fittings and accessory items as indicated in Figure 3. For
bypass and isolating purposes, valves (A), (B) and (C) may be
field installed.
The isolation valve permits maintenance of the drain valve without isolating
air flow to the dryer. To operate dryer, all valves labeled in Figure 3 are to
be closed except valves (B), (C) and (D). Valve (A) is used for bypass
purposes and valve (E) is for test and manual drain purposes.
PRE-FILTER
a NOTICE
Care must be used when choosing the circuit of single phase units to
ensure that no excessive voltage variations occur. This may affect the
starting of the compressor and in extreme cases may cause a
compressor burn out. Maximum allowable voltage variation is +15%
and -10% from rated voltage. Voltage variations exceeding the
specified tolerances will void warranty.
8.5 INITIAL START-UP
• Depress the ON/OFF switch. The “Power On” light located in the
ON/OFF switch will illuminate.
• The “High Temp light will illuminate upon start-up and remain that
way until the thermal mass fluid in the chiller reaches 50°F. After the
temperature is reduced below 50°F, the “High Temp” light will go out.
• The suction pressure gauge will typically pull down between 60 and
80 PSIG when the dryer is first started. As the system operates and
thermal mass temperature drops, the suction pressure will also be
lowered to between 55 and 65 PSIG.
• After the refrigeration system shuts off, air flow may be introduced to
the dryer.
a CAUTION
Slowly pressurize dryer after start-up
a NOTICE
After installation or a prolonged shutdown, start the dryer with no air
load (no air flow). This enables the dryer to reach its proper operating
temperature in the shortest time possible (typically within 30 minutes)
 9.0 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

9.1 INTRODUCTION 9.3 CONDENSATE DISCHARGE SYSTEM

Ingersoll Rand Nirvana Cycling dryers require little maintenance. These
dryers utilize hermetically sealed compressors which do not require any
lubrication. Ingersoll Rand recommends component inspection and
service at regular intervals to obtain maximum performance from your
dryer.
9.2 REFRIGERANT CONDENSER
For proper operation, it is imperative that condenser fins be inspected
and cleaned on a regular basis. For applications where excessive dirt,
dust or debris is encountered, more frequent inspection and cleaning
may be required. An optional ambient air filter kit can be easily installed
outside the condenser.
On a minimum of a monthly basis, the operation of the drain should be
checked. Periodically, the drain should be removed and cleaned to
ensure no debris from the system is trapped inside. Ingersoll Rand
Nirvana Cycling dryers are equipped with a drain isolation valve,
enabling the valves to be cleaned during dryer operation after the drain
isolation valve has been manually closed. The drain isolation valve
requires a quarter turn to isolate the drain from system pressure.
a WARNING
If your dryer is installed without a drain isolation valves (filter stop),
failure to depressurize the dryer may result in serious injury. Do not
remove the drain valve without depressurizing the unit.
