2 Control cabinet 9 Safety pressure switch
3 Refrigerant condenser 10 Filter dryer
4 Heat exchanger 11 Refrigerant compressor
5 Condensate separator 12 Hot gas bypass valve

The main component in a refrigeration dryer is an air/refrigerant heat exchanger (4).

The refrigerant circulation is automatically regulated by a hot gas bypass valve (12).
A condensate separating system (5) is fitted downstream of the heat exchanger.
A safety pressure switch (9) is fitted in the refrigerant circulation system as a protection
against excessive pressure.
A thermal overload switch protects the refrigerant compressor (11) against current over-
loads and high temperatures.

4.3 Function
The cooling action of the refrigeration dryer causes moisture to precipitate out of the com-
pressed air.
In the air/refrigerant heat exchanger (4), the compressed air is cooled by gassing refriger-
ant. This cooling action causes the water vapor in the compressed air to condense when
the temperature falls below the pressure dew point.
A condensate separator (5) downstream separates the condensed liquid from the air flow
and drains them out of the system together with oil droplets and larger dirt particles with a
condensate drain.
The hot gas bypass valve (12) regulates refrigerating capacity.

5.2.2 Operating in a compressed air system

When the machine is connected to an air system, the operating pressure must not exceed
230 psig.
Initial filling of a fully vented air system generally creates a very high rate of flow through air
treatment devices. These conditions are detrimental to correct air treatment. Air quality can
be degraded.
