Exceptional ReliabilityIntroducing the TS DryerA new non-cycling, refrigerated air dryer by Ingersoll Rand,the TS dryer is designed to improve reliability, productivityand efficiency, protect health and safety and lessenenvironmental impact.Micro-channel condenserTo accomplish this, the TS dryer incorporates several key technical innovations. Among these innovations areits 3-in-1 heat exchanger(s), micro-channel condenser, microprocessor and “Smart” drain.3-in-1 heat exchanger(s)3-in-1 integrated heat exchanger(s) increase the reliabilityof your compressed air system by:60°C inlet ratedHot, saturated inlet airDry, process air• Reducing leak paths and refrigeration valving• Integrating major components— pre-cooler and re-heater— heat exchanger— air/water separator• Providing consistent and stable dry, process air46°C ambient ratedCondensate dischargeReliability is increased through the use of 3-in-1 heatexchanger(s) and a micro-channel condenser3-in-1 heat exchanger(s) and a micro-channel condenser increase productivityThe integrated design of the 3-in-1 heat exchanger(s) and a micro-channel condenser providesquality compressed air throughout a wide range of operating parameters.• Decreases nuisance shutdowns• More tolerant of poor ventilation in the compressor room• Accepts higher inlet temperatures produced by fouled air compressor aftercoolers02 TS Refrigerated Air Dryers TS Refrigerated Air Dryers 03

Energy EfficiencyLow pressure drop with consistent temperature controlExcessive pressure drop increases the operating and life cycle costs of compressed airequipment. The TS minimises pressure drop by:• Optimising the connection sizesthroughout the Ingersoll Randcompression, filtering anddrying equipment• Integrating the moisture separatorinto the 3-in-1 heat exchanger• Banking heat exchangers on largerflow modelsInlet pressure0.15 - 0.26 bar(g)Reduce run time with the IntellisysmicroprocessorThe Intellisys microprocessor controller isstandard on all TS models.The controller displays:• Ambient temperature• Evaporator temperature and RH%(relative humidity)• Major component warning indicators• Preventative maintenance indicatorsThe TS dryer delivers dry, process air withminimal pressure dropDischarge pressureEfficiency• Energy saving efficiency mode reduces runtime on the dryer. When the aircompressor turns off, the dryer will cycleon and off to maintain a core evaporatortemperature (2°C - 9°C).• Energy saving cycling and the Power OutRestart Operation (PORO) are combinedwhen the efficiency mode is activated.• PORO enables automatic restarting of thedryer when a power outage occurs.The “smart” drain reduces system air losses• As ambient temperatures increase, so will the amount ofcondensate extracted by the dryer.• The “Smart” drain controls compressed air loss byautomatically adjusting its dwelltime with relation to ambienttemperature.04 TS Refrigerated Air Dryers TS Refrigerated Air Dryers 05
