HES Refrigerated Dryers HES Dryer Advanced compressed air treatmentThe Concept: • Sensors in the Digital Evaporator communicate temperatures to the Digital Controller • The Digital Controller loads/unloads the Digital Scroll • The Digital Scroll sends the exact amount of cooling energy (No More… • No Less) to the Evaporator
HES Refrigerated Dryers Filter / Sight Glass Receiver Digital Scroll Compressor Fixed Scroll Compressor Oil Equalization Tube and Oil Sight Glass
HES Refrigerated Dryers Digital Scroll Refrigeration Compressor • The Controller sends a signal to the solenoid valve of the Digital Scroll to load or unload in ten second cycles • The Digital Scrollwill be unloaded for 4 seconds and loaded for 6 seconds under 60% load conditions on the dryer • This is how tight dew point control and maximized energy savings are achieved Disengaging Solenoid Discharge Connection Suction Connection
Refrigerated Dryer Troubleshooting Common Problems … Operator Error • Hot Starting • Overload • Insufficient Water Supply • Bypass Valve Open • Common Drain Lines
Refrigerated Dryer Troubleshooting Common Problems … Dryer Failures • Refrigerant Leaks • Compressor Failure • Loose Electrical Connections (Overheated) • Board Failure • Pressure Control Failure • Temperature Probe
Refrigerated Dryer Troubleshooting • A refrigeration leak will cause refrigeration compressor to overheat and cycle on the internal compressor overload. • A shorted fan switch can cause an evaporator to freeze up. • Refrigerant sight glasses should be 1/2 to full. The level of refrigerant may modulate at no load or low load conditions.
Refrigerated Dryer Troubleshooting Refrigerant leak in evaporator: An internal leak can result in compressed air in the refrigeration system Symptoms • Loss of cooling • High head pressure • Wet sight glass (TXV systems) • Loss of refrigerant. No leak to atmosphere found
Refrigerated Dryer Troubleshooting Airflow Problems • Dirty Filters • Evaporator Freezing • Malfunctioning Drain • Closed • Open • Liquid Water Entering the Dryer • Overloading
