the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or worn
hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working pressure.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors and particles, e.g. paint
solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be drawn
in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under heat and
that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is remotely
controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electrical isolating switch is
open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard,
persons switching on or off remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is
no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available and that the
exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet.
12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthed and
protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be installed near the
compressor.
13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failure is
activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be affixed near the instrument panel.
14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return valves
(check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.

vapours of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts and
exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
7
Instruction book
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely purged,
e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the machine
shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to
avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures, temperatures
and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that they function
correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil separator vessel
for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering them,
e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork and in
the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by genuine material
from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use breathing
protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If liquid
refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush abundantly with
fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.

2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The X air dryers remove moisture from compressed air by adsorption without air loss. The air dryer consists of two
drying towers (vessels) containing desiccant. While one tower adsorbs moisture, the other is regenerating (or waiting in
standby after regeneration). In general the tower function reverses every 4 to 8 hours, but a pressure dew point meter
can extend the shift time of the towers up to 24 hours to gain even more energy savings.

13 Adsorption vessel (tower B)
The dryer can produce pressure dew points ranging from 10 (50 ) down to -40 (-94 ). Once the desiccant is
saturated, it can be regenerated at temperatures between 90 (194 ) and 200 (392 ).
The even round shape of the beads and their vitreous, glossy surface ensure an evenly distributed flow, low pressure
drops, low friction and a very low dust emission.
If the dryer is maintained as described further and it is operated in normal operation conditions, the drying beads can
adsorb moisture and regenerate time after time up to 5 years of continuous operation.
Alarm functions are included for electronic water drain failure, low working pressure, shifting failure, valve failure,
sensor error, etc...
The sonic nozzle (optional) should be installed downstream of the dryer and avoids high air flow velocities.
S AND G-TYPE DRYERS

An X dryer is available in 2 types:
• The S or Suppression type X dryer has no heater in the regeneration air circuit. This allows dew point variation in
certain circumstances.
• The G or Guaranteed type X dryer has a thermostat controlled heater in the regeneration air circuit.
The heater guarantees the dew point in all conditions and is disabled by a number of alarm routines to avoid the
production of excessive heat.
COOLER
A Purge dryer is provided with one cooler this cooler is used to lower the adsorption air temperature and improves
Pressure Dew point (PDP).
SMARTBOX
An X dryer comes with a mounted SMARTBOX in the electrical cabinet. The SMARTBOX allows read- out of the
dryer parameters on a login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The connected antenna is mounted on the
outside of the electrical cabinet. (Refer to the section.)

DESCRIPTION
The hot compressed air can enter the system in three ways:
1. Hot wet compressed air enters the system via the regeneration by-pass valve directly to the cooler(s) to cool the
air.
2. Hot wet compressed air enters the system via the regeneration inlet valve and goes through the side inlet of the
vessel (A or B) for regeneration. The air leaves at the bottom of the vessel and goes through the check valve to
the cooler(s).
3. A combination of 1 and 2 for regeneration with heaters (Guaranteed dew point (G-Type)).
After passing the cooler stage, the cooled air flows to the bottom of one of the towers (A or B) and passes the desiccant
for adsorption of the moisture. The dry compressed air leaves the dryer via the outlet valve.
2.3 REGENERATION STEP
DESCRIPTION, PURGE-COOLED VERSIONS
Regeneration
The moist desiccant beads are dried during the regeneration step. The hot air from the compressor is sent through the
regeneration inlet valve through the vessel A or B from top to bottom before it enters the combicooler stages.
For the dew point Suppression (S-) type: Sensors on top of the vessels monitor the regeneration temperatures. If the
temperature of the bottom of a vessel reaches the preset value, the cooling step will be started.
Regeneration with heaters (only with G-type)
For the Guaranteed dew point (G-) type, an extra heating step (regeneration with heaters) is performed following the
regeneration step. In this extra step a part of the compressor flow will be heated to a fixed temperature using electric
heaters and a flow control valve, forcing more moisture out of the vessel and making the top part of the desiccant bed
extra dry. The rest of the compressed air flow will go directly to the cooler stage.
For the Guaranteed dew point (G-) type: Sensors on top of the vessels monitor the regeneration temperatures. If the
temperature difference between the top and bottom of a vessel reaches the preset value, the cooling step will be started.
It is possible to convert a G-type into an S-type by adjusting a setting in the Elektronikon regulator. Refer to the
Elektronikon regulator section.
15
Instruction book
2.4 COOLING STEP
DESCRIPTION
After the full-flow regeneration without heaters or the regeneration with heaters (on G-type) the cooling step starts.
This step is required to avoid high air temperatures of the air leaving the dryer.
The dryer is supplied with the Purge cooling mode. This implies that the hot air from the compressor is sent through
the cooler. Then the air flows upward through absorb vessel A or B via the bottom valve, then a part of air from
the outlet go through nozzle come to the regenerated tower in regeneration step, cooling the vessel temperature
down, finally go out through the purge valve.
2.5 SHIFTING TOWERS
DESCRIPTION
Once the dew point in the used dryer vessel exceeds -40 °C (-40 °F) (refer to the Elektronikon regulator section for
range adaptation), the dryer vessels (towers) shift function:
• The standby tower becomes the used tower.
• The previously used tower starts regenerating.
Shifting of the towers happens without causing a pressure drop in the air net.
The compressed air entering the dryer cooler stage now flows to the other tower. Immediately after the valves have
changed position, the regeneration inlet valve will open to start regeneration. Check the Regeneration step section.
The dryer can only shift towers:
• When the pressure difference between both vessels A and B is less than 1 bar (14.5 psi).
• No valve alarms occur.
• The values of the sensors (vessel top temperatures on G-type) are lower than 100
(212 ).
2.6 CYCLE TIME OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The dryer sequence is as follows:
X Version Regeneration Regeneration
(Minutes) with heaters
(Minutes)
S Purge-cooled 90-150 --
G Purge-cooled 30-90 30-90
X Version Cooling, Purge Standby Total cycle time

(Minutes) (Hours) (Hours)
S Purge-cooled 67 0-20 4-24

G Purge-cooled 67 0-20 4-24
The regulator stops counting the operating cycle time if a compressor unload is detected by a digital contact.
16
Instruction book
TOTAL CYCLE TIME
If the dryer choose the PDP option, the cycle time depending on the PDP control setting (refer to the Elektronikon
regulator section) the cycle time may differ:
• PDP control = OFF
The minimum cycle time is 4 hours.
• PDP control = ON
The minimum cycle time is 3 hours.
The installed dew point sensor can extend the adsorption cycle up to 24 hours if there is still adsorption capacity
left. This measurement saves considerable amounts of energy.

Pilot air is used to supply air to the pneumatic actuators of the butterfly valves. Tuning of the pilot air pressure is not
required as the pressure range of the actuators equals the working pressure of the dryer. A pilot air filter is mounted
to avoid desiccant (dust) from entering the actuators.
In case the working pressure is below 4 bar (58 psi), the external pilot air kit should be mounted (refer to the
Options section).

2.10 DRYER STARTING ROUTINE
DESCRIPTION
The dryer starting routine prevents the dryer from starting with wrong valve positions or incorrect vessel pressure
when going back to its normal regeneration routine. This routine also prevents blocking of the compressed air flow
by the dryer.
The dryer starting routine depends on the way the compressor was stopped. 3 possible scenarios can occur:
1. Restart after manual stop, remote stop or alarm shutdown: The dryer cycle continues where it was
interrupted.
2. Restart after power failure: The dryer cycle continues where it was interrupted once the power supply has
returned for 5 minutes.
3. Restart after a change of the parameter set: of the Elektronikon regulator. The dryer cycle starts with the
standby step of tower B. Refer to the Standby step section.
IMPORTANT
The dryer starting routine cannot prevent high flow velocities in the towers during start- up.
These can be harmful to the desiccant and should be avoided by carefully following up the
starting procedure. Refer to the Starting section.

3 ELEKTRONIKON GRAPHIC CONTROLLER

3.1 ELEKTRONIKON GRAPHIC CONTROLLER
CONTROL PANEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Elektronikon regulator automatically controls and protects the dryer, i.e.:
• keeping the pressure dew-point stable
• monitoring pressures, temperatures and digital switches to ensure safe operation, and stopping the dryer
whenever necessary
• restarting the dryer when required
In order to control the dryer and to read and modify programmable parameters, the regulator has a
control panel provided with:
• LEDs indicating the status of the dryer
• a display indicating the operating conditions or a fault
• keys to control the dryer and to access the data collected by the regulator
• buttons to manually start and stop the dryer
AUTOMATIC RESTART AFTER VOLTAGE FAILURE
The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the dryer if the voltage is restored after voltage
failure.
Provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode, the dryer will automatically
restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a programmed time period. The
power recovery time (the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic
restart) can be set between 15 and 3600 seconds or to ‘Infinite’. If the power recovery time is
set to ‘Infinite’, the dryer will always restart after a voltage failure, no matter how long it takes to
restore the voltage. A restart delay can also be programmed, allowing for example the dryer and
the compressors to be restarted one after the other.

Instruction book
Text on figure
(1) Overview
(2) Running Hours (green)
(3) Real Time hours (blue)
Example for service level (A):
The figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For Service interval A, the programmed number of
running hours is 4000 hours (upper row, green) and the programmed number of real time hours is 4380 hours,
which corresponds to six months (second row, blue). This means that the controller will launch a service warning
when either 4000 running hours or 4380 real hours are reached, whichever comes first. Note that the real time hours
counter keeps counting, also when the controller is not powered.
The figures within the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example above,
the dryer was just started up, which means it still has 4000 running hours or 4337 hours to go before the next
Service intervention.
SERVICE PLANS
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, Level B, etc...). Each level stands for a number of
service actions to be carried out at the time intervals programmed in the Elektronikon controller.
When a service plan interval is reached, a message will appear on the screen.
After carrying out the service actions related to the indicated levels, the timers must be reset. From the Service
menu above, select Service plan (3) and press Enter. Following screen appears:

91
Instruction book
4.4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Before switching on the main power supply, check the voltage requirements in the technical
specifications or on the dryer data plate.
Procedure
Item Action
Dryer • The unit should be installed on a level floor capable of taking the weight of the dryer.
• Install the dryer under a roof, where the ambient air is as clean as possible and where the
temperature of the air will never exceed the limits. Refer to the Reference conditions and
limitations section.
• Enough space must be provided around dryer and filters to allow maintenance, cooler
disassembly and filter replacement. The minimum distance between the top of the dryer
and the ceiling must allow disassembly of the dryer heating elements and desiccant
filling. Refer to the Dimension drawings section.
• The vessels must be fixed to the floor by means of anchor bolts.
Regeneration/ • It is desirable to lead the regeneration/cooling outlet air via a pipe to another location; it is
cooling air important to take into consideration the maximum allowable pressure drop. If the length
of the additional pipe exceeds 5 m (16.405 ft), the diameter must be 1.5 times larger than
the original regeneration pipe. For longer pipe installations, consult Atlas Copco.
• If the pipe is led upwards, provide a drain hole at the lowest point to remove condensate
water and prevent water lock. See drawing above.
• For optimal regeneration of the dryer, the piping between the compressor and the dryer
regeneration air inlet piping should be isolated.
Air • Connect the compressed air lines to the marked inlet and outlet pipes of the dryer.
Blow any welding waste and other impurities from the lines before connecting them.
• The air inlet and outlet pipes should be installed stress free to the dryer unit.
• Provide an air inlet valve and outlet valve to avoid inverse flow.
• If a by-pass pipe and valve are installed, the dryer can be serviced while by-passing the
dryer.
• Check that the air intake of the compressor is positioned so that volatile gases or other
flammable elements cannot be taken in to avoid concentration of these elements in the
desiccant beads.
Drain pipes • Each drain pipe must be individually connected to the waste pipe.
• Lay out the condensate drain pipes via a funnel towards the waste pipe to allow visual
inspection. The pipes must slope downwards.
• If the condensate drain pipes have been fitted outside the compressor room where they
may be exposed to freezing temperatures, they must be insulated.
Cooling • Connect the water cooling pipes to the marked inlet and outlet connections.
• It is recommended to fit a manual shut-off valve and drain in the water inlet and outlet
(customer's installation).
Hot surfaces • Adequate protection must be provided to protect personnel from touching the hot surfaces
of the dryer.
• All inlet piping of the dryer will reach temperatures up to 150 (302 ). Special
precautions must be taken to prevent personnel from touching the hot surface.
• During regeneration, the surface temperature of the tower will be very high. Special
precautions must be taken to prevent personnel from touching the hot surface.
92
Instruction book
Filters • After initial filling or replacement of the drying medium, the amount of dust released can
increase. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the dust filter one week after replacing
the desiccant and close the air inlet for the PDP sensor for the first 24 hours.
• It is recommended to install a dust filter of the DDp and/or PDp type downstream of the
dryer, as the drying medium can release a small amount of dust.
Item Action
Electrical • Check that the primary side connections of transformers (T1 and T2) correspond with the
connection supply voltage.
• Check if the overheating switches in the heater boxes on top of the vessels are set to
450 (842 ).
(G-type)
• Refer to the Electric cable section, settings of circuit breakers and fuses section for the
recommended fuses and cable size of the supply cables.
• Check that the electrical installation corresponds to the local codes. The dryer must be
earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses of the inert type in all phases.
• An isolating switch must be installed near the dryer.
• Always isolate the dryer inlet and outlet during maintenance.

• When installing the piping, make sure all pipes are clean.
• All pipes should be installed stress free to the dryer unit. If necessary, additional flexible
connections and supports must be used.
• Consult the table below for the correct tightening torques (Tightening torque for normal
bolted joints with metric threads and coarse pitch, strength class 8.8).

4.6 COOLING WATER REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDATIONS
The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds, solids and
gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.
Only non-treated water must be used.
This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.
TYPE OF SYSTEM
First, it is important to consider whether you are dealing with a closed system or an open system. In a closed
system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.
An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case, the
composition of the water that enters the cooler must be considered, and not the composition of the make-up water.
Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can be obtained in the
circulating water than in the make-up water.
RYZNAR STABILITY INDEX (RSI)

The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or precipitate
calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on different materials, but the
equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value and by the saturation pH
value (pHs).
The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total alkalinity, the
total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Index is calculated as follows : RSI = 2*pHs - pH
Symbol Explanation
pH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample
pHs pH at saturation
The pHs is calculated by using :

pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)
Symbol Explanation
A Depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l)
C Depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3)
D Depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)
The values of A, B, C and D can be found in the following table.

Total dissolved A Temperature B Ca-hardness (ppm C M-alkalinity D
solids (mg/l) ( ) CaCO3) (mval/l)

RSI>11 Very strong corrosion in Water should not be used.
complete water system
The table indicates that distilled or demineralized water should never be used, as their RSI is > 11.
The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSI conditions can
still be unsuitable due to other factors.
From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; otherwise, contact a specialist.

PH
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS)
This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not
including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.
In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)
CHLORIDES (CL-)
Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited: Closed cooling
system : chlorides < 500 ppm
Open cooling system : chlorides < 150 ppm
However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Ryznar stability index (RSI)).
FREE CHLORINE (CL2)

A level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded for long periods.
For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies.
SULPHATES (SO4--)
Closed cooling system : sulphates < 400 ppm Open cooling system : sulphates < 150 ppm
CARBONATE HARDNESS
Closed cooling system : 50-1000 ppm CaCO3 Open cooling system : 50-500 ppm CaCO3

6.3 REPLACING DESICCANT
Removal and filling plugs

1 Desiccant filling plugs (carrying the safety valves)
2 Desiccant removal plugs
EMPTYING
Safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask must be worn during the emptying procedure as dust may
be produced.
When replacing desiccant, make sure that the desiccant is disposed of according to the local
regulations.
Procedure
1. Let the dryer program run to the end of the cooling step or the standby / tower shifting step.
2. Stop the dryer.
3. Shut off the power supply.
4. Isolate the dryer from the air net by closing the air inlet and outlet valves.
5. Depressurize the vessels slowly.
6. Install a suitable collector underneath the desiccant removal plugs (2) for emptying; note that the desiccant may
be very hot (150 (302 )).
7. Remove the desiccant removal plugs (2) and let the desiccant beads flow into the collector.
107
Instruction book
A vacuum cleaner may be used to speed up the process and to control dust emission.
FILLING
Safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask must be worn during the filling procedure as dust may be
produced.
Do NOT overfill the dryer.
When replacing desiccant, make sure that the desiccant is disposed of according to the local
regulations.
When replacing the desiccant, never use an ejector or similar equipment as this might shatter the
beads. The beads must be gravity-fed into the tower.
After replacing the drying medium, the amount of dust released can increase. Therefore, it is
recommended to replace the dust filter downstream of the dryer one week after replacing the
desiccant.
Procedure
1. Once the vessels are empty, refit the desiccant removal plugs (2).
2. Open the desiccant filling plugs (1).
3. Fit a large funnel to the filling hole of one of the drying vessels; the size of the narrow part should be 35-40
mm (1.4 - 1.6 in).
4. Gently pour the correct amount of desiccant (refer to the Air dryer data section) into the vessel. The desiccant
level must stay below the level of the top strainer.
Use a vacuum cleaner to control dust escaping from the filling hole.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other tower; the amounts of desiccant must be equal in both vessels.
6. Refit the desiccant filling plugs (1). The dryer is now ready to be started. Refer to the Starting section.
NOTE
To ensure PDP sensor functionality it is recommended to:
• Run the dryer for 24 hours before opening the valve to the PDP sensor.
• Run the dryer during an entire cycle (24 hours) before switching to PDP control
(dewpoint meter control).

7 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
7.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
WARNING
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-
repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by Atlas Copco.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Make sure that all electrical wiring has been installed in compliance with the valid regulations.
2. Installation must always be performed by a qualified technician.
3. Installation must be carried out in compliance with the circuit diagrams and connection drawings provided.
NOTE
Some precautions are general and may not apply to your optional equipment.
7.2 OPTIONS
OVERVIEW
1. Safety Valve
Too high of the pipe network pressure will cause potential safety hazard and damage to the network
instrument or actuator and other components. And the Suggestions on the two tower dryer installed safety
valves to unload the high pressure of the pipe. If this option is to buy the random, before delivery,the
safety valve installed on the device.
2. Vessel bed
Some high desiccant load working conditions, to prevent when the compressed air go through the cooler
with separator, condensed water separation is not completely and the water come into the adsorption
tower, drying tower bed needed, drying tower bed nets can better realize the gas water separation, so as to
extend the life of the desiccant.
3. Vessel insulation
• To prevent heat loss of the compressor outlet air, the piping in between the compressor hot air outlet and
the dryer inlet must be insulated (customer’s installation).
To further improve energy efficiency of the dryer, the vessels can be insulated as an option.
4. DDP outlet filter (shipped loose)
• On the outlet side of the dryer, (a) particle filter(s) can be mounted to prevent dust particles, emerging from
the desiccant bed, from entering the air net.
The X filter option consists of a DDp outlet filter with alarm contact, as well as all the relevant piping
and instructions. An adjustable space of approx. 25 mm (0.98 in) is provided on the support of the filter
inlet pipe to account for unevenness in the floor and/or tolerances on the dryer piping. The status of the
filter has a read-out on the Elektronikon regulator, which will display an alarm message in case of filter
fouling.
110
Instruction book
The filter element(s) of a DDp outlet filter should be replaced one week after initial start-up or
replacement of the desiccant.
In case an extra filter is installed (customer's installation), it is important to mount it always downstream of
the DDp particle filter.
5. Sonic nozzle
• Excessively high air velocity (e.g. due to low inlet pressure) may cause the desiccant to “float” in the
vessels. The desiccant beads scrape against each other, creating additional dust. High-speed flow occurs
when a compressor starts with an empty air net or when working at a discharge air pressure that is too
low. A high volume of compressed air output can result in a pressure drop, which in turn increases the
speed.
Therefore, the air net should be filled by slowly opening the valve towards the dryer. Alternatively, a
sonic nozzle can be installed downstream of the dryer.
Refer to the instruction delivered with the sonic nozzle to install and adjust it.
6. SST instrument air pipe
• Suitable for heat resistance corrosion environment.
7. PDP option
Must calibration the dew-point meter every year according to the drying machine cycle to ensure the
normal function of dew point reading correct and dew point, About the calibration, please contact with
atlas customer service center contact manufacturing.

Footnotes
• (1) To avoid damage to desiccant, air speed should be limited. Refer to calculation program.
• (2) If effective inlet pressure < 4 bar (58 psi) (and allowed by X calculation program, available at your Atlas
Copco Customer Center), pilot air must be supplied separately because valve control requires > 4 bar(e) (58
psi). Refer to the Option section for an available Atlas Copco solution.
• (3) Referred to absolute pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi) and temperature of 20°C (68°F) and measured
according to ISO 7183.
• (4) Flows less than the stated minimum volume flow will reduce general performance due to channelling
inside the vessels.
• (5) Flows less than the stated minimum volume flow will reduce regeneration and cooling capacity due to
lack of Heat-of-Compression.
• (6) The dryer needs a minimal load time of 4 hours to regenerate and cool. Frequent unloading of the
compressor should be prevented.
