Ingersoll Rand DA17EC High Efficiency Small Cycling Dryers User Guide

Ingersoll Rand DA17EC High Efficiency Small Cycling Dryers

Higher Efficiency, Lower Cost
The Ingersoll Rand high-efficiency small cycling dryer design helps you achieve optimal performance at a lower cost compared to a non-cycling design. To reduce energy consumption, the dryer refrigeration system automatically deactivates during periods of low load and features a patented heat exchanger and thermal mass circuit.

Reliability through Experience
Building upon extensive dryer experience, Ingersoll Rand incorporates advanced features into each dryer, such as microprocessor control, a highly efficient refrigeration system,a heavy duty drain and robust construction that enhance performance and provide maximum reliability.

Achieve maximum energy savings, while ensuring a continuous supply of dry high-quality air.

Advanced Environmental Sustainability
Reducing energy use not only saves money, but decreases harmful greenhouse gases that hurt the environment. By shutting off the refrigeration system during periods of low loads, our high-efficiency small cycling dryers minimize energy waste. And, they use R-134a refrigerant that has a zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) to minimize overall environmental impact.

Energy Savings by Technology

Operating Efficiency is the Bottom Line

Ingersoll Rand high-efficiency small cycling dryers include innovative features to enhance the efficiency of your compressed air system and the quality of the air delivered.

• Patented, energy saving heat exchanger
• Low pressure drop
• All energy savings readings on control panel
• Thermal mass cold energy storage reduces dryer compressor run time
• R134a refrigerant lowers energy consumption

Advanced microprocessor controller provides intuitive
control over dryer functions and operation status

Simply Reliable
With over fifty years of dryer experience, Ingersoll Rand has developed a comprehensive performance testing program and simplified dryer design that enhance product reliability and ease-of-use.

• Compact size
• Advanced circuit design eliminates the need for thermal expansion valves and fan control switches

Every cycling dryer is manufactured with premium components under stringent quality control, resulting in years of dependable operation.

Low Operating Cost

In a typical compressed air dryer, the refrigerant compressor runs continuously, regardless of demand. Our high-efficiency small cycling dryer deactivates the refrigeration system when demand is low. This combined with a low pressure drop helps the dryer provide lower operating costs.

• Patented heat exchanger design provides high heat transfer efficiency, reducing compressor run time and energy costs
• Low pressure drop
• Minimized shipping and installation costs
• A true plug and play installation with single point connections
• Perfect match for the Ingersoll Rand high-efficiency variable speed compressors and for critical applications where the demand for compressed air fluctuates on a regular basis

How Cycling Refrigerated Dryers Work

Most facilities operate with varying degrees of compressed air usage. Ingersoll Rand high-efficiency small cycling dryers are designed to minimize energy cost through the use of thermal mass, cold energy storage.

1. Compressed air enters the dryer through the heat exchanger
2. Air is cooled by cold outgoing air in the pre-cooler/re-heater
3. Circulating glycol cools the compressed air, allowing the refrigerant compressor to turn-off during low demands
4. A moisture separator removes the condensed liquid, which is purged from the dryer using a no-loss drain
5. Thermal mass cold energy storage reduces compressor run time, saving energy
6. Refrigerant compressor runs only as needed
