Compressed <strong>air</strong> refrigeration dryer<br />
Compressed <strong>air</strong> refrigeration dryer series AD<br />
An investment which rapidly pays off<br />
The fact that dry <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> is efficient<br />
is obvious. With the AIRCRAFT ® AD, this<br />
calculation will even result better for you.<br />
Since the sum of these advantages will provide<br />
for that<br />
you can achieve your potential for cost-saving<br />
even more rapid:<br />
· Enhanced energy efficiency thanks to a<br />
particularly larger heat exchanger surface<br />
· Avoiding unfavourable discharge of the flow of<br />
<strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong><br />
· Avoiding additional flow resistance due<br />
to amply dimensioned <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong><br />
connections - less loss of pressure<br />
· Almost 100% drop separation thanks to an<br />
intelligent construction<br />
No unnecessary loss of <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> due to<br />
integrated, level-controlled condensate drain<br />
The constructive structure of the AIRCRAFT ® AD<br />
convinces with clarity and accessibility. The two<br />
only maintenance positions, condenser and<br />
BEKOMAT ® , are accessible over large, easy-toopen<br />
covers. This way, maintenance works can be<br />
easily performed.<br />
The difference is in the details<br />
1) Hot <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong>, saturized with humidity is<br />
cooled down to a temperature of +3°C. The large<br />
heat exchanger does not only favour a particularly<br />
effective cooling down,<br />
the construction also reduces the flow resistance<br />
to an absolute minimum.<br />
2) Other than for many common systems, the<br />
<strong>air</strong> is flowing in a downward direction movement<br />
through the heat exchanger. The gravity and the<br />
profile are being used for a particularly high<br />
drop separation of almost 99%. In the very large<br />
condensate collection room, the flow speed<br />
will be considerably reduced. A carrying away<br />
of already separated drops is this way avoided<br />
reliably.<br />
3) Before the outlet from the dryer, the dried cold<br />
<strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> is heated up in the <strong>air</strong>/<strong>air</strong> heat<br />
exchanger. In doing so, the relative humidity is<br />
considerably reduced and the used cooling power<br />
is regained by up to 60%.<br />
4) The resulting condensate is being discharged,<br />
avoiding loss of <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> through the<br />
level-controlled BEKOMAT ® condensate separator<br />
from the AIRCRAFT ® AD refrigeration dryer and<br />
can be prepared reliably with the processing<br />
systems such as the oil/water separation system<br />
ÖWAMAT ® .<br />

Using saving potentials - reducing maintenance cost<br />
Compared to the investments, the energy cost<br />
are forming the largest part of the total cost.<br />
Therefore, you can find the highest saving<br />
potential here.<br />
Besides the little energy cost, the AIRCRAFT ®<br />
AD refrigeration dryer also reduces the cost for<br />
maintenance permanently.<br />
As it is generally known, the humidity represents<br />
the most important risk for all components which<br />
are getting into contact with it. It already starts at<br />
a relative humidity for <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> of about<br />
70%, since already at these little humidity values,<br />
bacteria are forming. From 40% relative humidity<br />
on, the corrosion process will then increase<br />
disproportionately high.<br />
In the majority of all applications, the requirement<br />
in cooling and drying of the basic <strong>compressed</strong><br />
<strong>air</strong> is limited to "standard values": Cooling<br />
up to almost 0°C and this way almost a 100%<br />
condensation of the water vapour included in the<br />
<strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong>.<br />
The AIRCRAFT ® AD provides for an efficient<br />
separation of <strong>compressed</strong> <strong>air</strong> and water vapour as<br />
well as the safe separation of the condensate.<br />
