 I. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES – Please READ

A) When operating the air dryer the operator must apply safe working methods and observe all local safety
instructions and relevant regulations.
B) Prior to installation, the dryer and the compressed air system are to be depressurized and disconnected
from the electrical main supply.
C) The user is responsible for safe operating conditions. Parts and accessories must be replaced if inspection
shows that safe operation cannot be assured.
D) Installation, operation, maintenance and repair are only to be authorized, trained and skilled engineers.
E) The minimum and maximum values stated must be observed, as well as all of the safety precautions described
in this manual.
F) If any statement in this manual does not comply with the local legislation, the strongest standard is to be applied.

1.1. Transportation

A) Use care and caution when transporting the dryer. Avoid dropping and other physical abuse.
B) A forklift can be used to transport the dryers provided the forks are long enough to support its full width or
length and caution is used throughout the move.

1.2. Positioning

A) The dryer must be installed horizontally. A minimum of 50 cm clearance around the dryer is necessary to
allow a good ventilation and easy access for servicing.
B) The ambient temperature in the room should not exceed 50°C and should not be below 4°C, taking the heat
radiated by the dryer into account.
C) (40 watt for each liter/sec under ISO 7183-A condition or 18 watts for each SCFM under ISO 7183-B condition).

1.3. Installation

A) In addition to the general mechanical construction procedures and local regulations, the following instructions
need to be emphasized:
1) Only authorized, trained and skilled engineers should install the compressed air dryer.
2) Safety devices, protecting covers or insulation in the dryers never to be dismantled or modified.
Each pressure vessel or accessory installed outside the dryer with air above atmospheric pressure must be fitted
with the required pressure relief safety valves.

1.4. Before Operating

A) Review all safety precautions.

B) The piping must have the correct diameter and be adapted to the operating pressure (see technical specification).
C) Never operate the dryer at pressure above the maximum specified on the dryer label (check the technical specs too).
D) The drains should be opened to atmosphere. If the drains are connected to a pipe / hose, the diameter of the hose
/ pipe should be large enough to create no back pressure during drain. It is not recommended to reduce the diameter of
the hose / pipe less than port that is given at the drain outlet of the unit.
The hose / pipe should be at atmospheric pressure at all time. Back pressure in relevant pipe will result in permanent
damage on drain system and the affect function of the filters and / or dryers.

1.5. Maintenance by an Engineer

A) Maintenance and repairs should only be performed when the air dryer is shut down and depressurized and when
the main power switch is turned off.
B) Use only the appropriate tools for maintenance and repair.
C) Before dismantling a part under pressure, disconnect the pressure sources and depressurize the system.
D) Proceed carefully during maintenance and repair. Prevent dirt from entering by covering parts and orifices with
a clean cloth, paper or tape. A receiver should never be welded or modified in any way.
E) Never leave tools, loose parts or cleaning rags in or on the air dryer.
F) Before returning the dryer into service, check the setting of the control and safety devices as well as the pressure
and the temperature of the compressed air circuit.

1.6. Maintenance by the user

A) Keep the dryer clean.

B) Regularly check the correct operation of the condensate drain trap.
C) Every six months, check and clean the drain strainer by undoing the access screw and rinsing the filter with tap
water to remove the trapped dirt from the inside
D) For aircooled dryers, clean the air condenser as soon as it’s dirty or clogged.
E) For optional water-cooled condensers, use only clean water andinstall a water filter if needed.
Use water counter flow to clean condenser if need.
F) Check the trouble-shooting list in case of maintenance troubles.
G) Check operating pressures, temperatures and time settings after maintenance. If operating and safety devices
function properly, the air dryer may be used.

2. INTRODUCTION TO THE DRYER

A) Manufacturer: MiKROPOR / www.mikropor.com

B) Purpose of this dryer

1) This refrigerated compressed air dryer has been designed to remove water vapor from industrial compressed air.
2) This dryer has been designed for indoor operation.
3) The minimum and maximum values stated must be observed, as well as the safety precautions described
in this manual.

C) Dryer label

The following label is affixed on the cabinet

of the refrigerant compressed air dryer.
D) Working details

1) Refrigerant circuit:

The refrigerant circuit can be divided in 3 parts:

a) Low pressure section with an evaporator (heat exchanger)

b) High-pressure section including: Condenser, liquid receiver, (if installed) and the filter dryer.
c) Control circuit including: Compressor, Expansion valve, by-pass valve (if installed),
Fan pressure switch (if installed)

2) For water - cooled dryers:

a) Water valve
b) Safety high pressure switch (if installed)

3) The Refrigerant circuit operates as follows:

a) The compressor compresses gaseous refrigerant to a high temperature.

b) The hot refrigerant condenses in the condenser. Being liquefied it is stored in the liquid receiver (if installed).
c) The liquid is taken out the storage vessel and injected in the evaporator (heat exchanger) by an expansion valve.
This expansion valve is protected by a filter, which removes particles and humidity that could be in the circuit.
d) The injected liquid fills in the refrigerant section of the air / refrigerant heat exchanger and evaporates by taking
out the calories from the compressed air. The gaseous refrigerant is sucked in the compressor and the cycle
carries on.
e) In order to keep the evaporation pressure steady, and thus the refrigerant temperature in the heat exchanger,
a by-pass valve is injecting hot gaseous refrigerant in the circuit. On certain dryers, an automatic expansion valve
regulates this.

4) Compressed air circuit

a) The saturated hot compressed air flows into the Economiserwhere it is pre-cooled by the out flowing dry
chilled air. In the cold zone of the air refrigerant section it continues to cool

2
down to dew point and enters the separator where condensates are collected. The outgoing chilled air is then
warmed up in the economizer by the hot incoming air.
b) The condensates are collected after centrifugal separation and drained out through the automatic trap.
c) As long as the compressed air temperature does not drop below dew point, there will be no condensation
in the air circuit.

5) Refrigerant compressor

Being of the hermetic type, it requires no servicing.

6) Condenser

a) The air condensers are equipped with a helecoidal at the condenser refrigerant level.
On certain type of dryers, a water-cooled condenser can be fitted.
b) In this case, a water valve being driven by the refrigerant circuit is taking care of its regulation.

7) Refrigerant circuit protection

a) Klixon: The single phase compressors are equipped with a klixon which is a thermal sensitive switch
controlling the temperature of the compressor and possible overintensity.
In case of malfunction, the klixon trips but switches on again automatically as soon as the compressor has
cooled down.
b) High Pressure Security Switch: Refrigerant line is considered as a pressure vessel. That is why it is
protected against bursts by the help of manually reset switch. It is set to 25 bars for dryers working with R134a
c) Filter dryer: A refrigerant circuit is a closed circuit and total water removal in the refrigerant circuit is
paramount in order to obtain a correct functioning.
d) To avoid problems, the refrigerant circuit must be vacuumed before loading the refrigerant.
It is equipped with a filter dryer, which also traps any solid particles, which may have migrated into the circuit
during assembly.
e) Water-cooled dryers have a safety high-pressure switch.
In case of cooling water failure, the safety switch stops the dryer. When the safety switch has tripped out,
it has to be manually resettled before switching on the dryer.

8) Refrigerant circuit controls

a) Liquid refrigerant injection: The liquid refrigerant is into the evaporator by a control valve. This valve is a
thermostatic or pressostatic one maintaining a constant overheats of the refrigerant in the evaporator(s).
b) Constant evaporating pressure: In the dryers equipped with a by-pass valve, the evaporating pressure is kept
constant by a controlled injection of hot gas from the high-pressure side into the low-pressure section
of the circuit.

9) Condensate drain - trap assembly

Dismantling the drain is easy because it can be isolated from the air circuit under pressure with a ball valve.
The drain has to be depressurized before being dismantled.

10) Heat Exchanger Modular design

a)The dryers are equipped with a compact Mono Bloc Heat Exchanger module.
This assembly has been specially designed to dry compressed air and is made of:
1) An Economiser which pre-cools the entering hot air with the out flowing cold air.
2) An air/refrigerant exchanger cooling down the compressed air.
3) A centrifugal separator concentrating all condensates and requiring no maintenance.

11) Accessories

a) Dew point indicator: Located on the control panel, it displays the value of the pressure dew point.
b) Temperature switch: Located inside the dryer, this temperature switch is adjustable from 0 up to 35 °C.
c) Energy Saving Device: (ESD) This device helps dryer save energy when there is not any compressed air flow
in the dryer. (Please see the models have standart and optional in next page)
d) Filter change alarm on the front panel

3.2. During Operation
Regularly check the digital temperature controller ESD1 or ESD3 on dryer.

B) Start up and shut-down

Warning: Avoid leaving the dryer off when compressed air is still flowing through it.

C) Starting for the first time or after a long stop

1) Set the rotary switch to “I” This preheats the dryer and turns the drain system on.
It is recommended to leave the dryer power on permanently so the crankcase heater runs continuously.

2) IMPORTANT NOTE!

After a long stop of the dryer it is MANDATORY to allow a preheating period of minimum 4 hours
before starting again, to avoid any compressed air flow during preheating.

3) Follow the daily starting and shut down preocedure.

D) Daily starting and shut-down

1) Push on the green button to start the dryer.
2) The start light will indicate that the dryer is running.
3) To stop the dryer, first stop the airflow (either shut-down the air compressor or close the inlet/outlet or
by-pass valve) When the air flow is stopped set the rotary switch on “ 0 “ Set it again on “ I “ in order to keep the
preheating on.
4) IMPORTANT NOTE!
Avoid leaving the dryer stopped when compressed air is still flowing through it.
5) To switch the already preheated dryer on again, simply push the green start button.

E) Digital Temperature Control technical features (ESD1)

ESD1
!
-The terminals 01 to 05 and 11-12 are
electrically live. While the instrument
is powered, never touch to these
terminals.

Before operating the controller,

ensure that the controller is correctly
configured. Incorrect configuration
could result in damage to the process
(Pic.1) being controlled.

The labels on the sides of the controller identify the ordering code (Type) serial number and wiring connections.

ESD1: Standard for monophase dryers

ESD3: PLC clear text multilingual indication of alarms, maintenance and running hours
+ Energy Saving Device automatic switching OFF at no load and ON
when warm compressed air is entering. (NOTE: Please see the ESD3 manual which is given with Dryer)

1) Operating principle

The display visualizes the temperature when the temperature is reduced to 20C and stable for 10 min.
than the controller switches off the dryer. It switches on the dryer again when the temperature reaches to 90C
If the temperature detected is higher or lower than the temperaure set by the trimmer R1 and R2, the relay is
powered and related
Alarm led is lightened on display;
When the temperature detected by the temperature probe is within the normal working range than the alarm is
resetted and both alarm light and the relay is swithhed off.

Comments
This dryer is designed for air flow in one direction
only. Inlet and outlet directions are identified on
the dryer.
Drain system is timed solenoid valve,
pneumatically assisted which has to be adjusted
in accordance with values listed in this manual.
The Solenoid valve includes a strainer that has to be
periodically checked and cleaned.
Membranes of pneumatically assisted drain have to
be checked or replaced every 6 months.
Important: Bypass piping should be installed
around the dryer so the dryer can be isolated for
service without shutting down the air supply.
During dryer operation, valves must be set so all air
goes into the system. Check tightness
of the bypass system.
Before the dryer is first started all free moisture
should be blown out of the system.
This dryer is designed for a maximum air flow.
If too much air is pumped into the dryer, water removal
capacity may not be sufficient, resultingin liquid
Carry over downstream. Check the rated flow of the
air compressor .
In some system there may be an accumulation of free
moisture in the line ahead of the dryer. If this moisture
is pumped into the dryer intermittently, the water
removal capacity may not be sufficient.
A water separator should be installed in the line
before the dryer.
The dryer is designed to work for calculated design
conditions. Should the conditions be exceeded,
the dryer will be overflowed, dew point will go up
and protecting devices can switch off.
The clogged fins in the condenser will restrict air
passage and reduce refrigerant capacity causing
water downstream. Fins should be periodically
checked and cleaned.
Loss of refrigerant will cause improper functioning.
A qualified, refrigeration specialist should perform
the necessary repairs, or factory should be
contacted if the unit is in warranty.
To check if the compressor is running, check
compressor-on light. lt is possible for the fan to be
operating but not the compressor.
Compressor not running can be caused by several
taeters. A qualified refrigeration technician should
check all refrigerant and electrical controls
The refrigerant pressure adjustment should be
done by a qualified refrigeration engineer. This is
a very sensitiye device and incorrect settings may
create other failures.
This dryer is designed for a maximum air flow.
If too much air is pumped into the dryer,
water removal capacity may not be sufficient,
resulting in liquid carry-over downstream.
Check the rated flow of the air compressor.
Frosting of the Iines is an indication that controls
are set too low. The following should be done by
an experienced refrigeration technician.
Controls may be adjusted in the fields by means of
the hot gas bypass valve. This is to be done
by a qualified refrigerant technician.
Dryer are supposed to be used with compressed
air free of any aggressive contaminants. Some
contamination may require extra maintenance of
the heat exchanger.
If the dryer is not operating, check the disconnect
switch or circuit breaker to be certain it is on.
The fuse to the power line should be checked and
replaced if needed. Never replace a burnt fuse
with an oversized fuse.
Failure of compressor to run may be caused by
several factors. A qualified refrigeration specialist
should check all electrical and refrigeration controls,
or factory should be contacted if unit is in warranty.
The dryer is designed for working into calculated design

Comments
A high ambient temperature may cause the refrigerant
system to operate at higher than normal pressures.
Results will be a higher than normal evaporator
temperature.
Important: there should be adequate air circulation
around the dryer, and proper ventilation in the
equipment room should guarantee a low enough
ambient temperature.
The clogged fins in the condenser will restrict the air
passage and reduce the refrigeration capacity,
causing high temperature in the evaporator.
Fins should be periodically checked and cleaned.
Loss of refrigerant will cause improper functioning.
Dryers are equipped with a temperature switch which
maintains the amount of refrigerant to maintain
proper cooling of the compressor.
A shortage of refrigerant may cause suction line to
become very hot, causing the temperature switch
to trip. A qualified refrigeration specialist should
perform the necessary repairs.
If there is not enough refrigerant gas or if the working
temperature and inlet temperatures are very high,
the dew point will increase.
Max drain hose length after the dryer
must not exceed 10 meters.
Max drain hose height from the dryer
must not exceed 3 meters.
The drain port size should not be reduced.
There should not be any fitting that may cause
pressure drop such as valves, elbow, tees, etc.
on the drain connection.
Drain should be at atmospheric pressure at all times.
Any back pressure will result in failure
and malfunction.
