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 />

by a BEKOMAT ® . The proven standard in this field<br />
