INTRODUCTION

Keep this manual with care for future consultation; the use and maintenance manual is an integral part on the dryer. Read this manual carefully before carrying out any operations on the dryer.
The installation of the dryer and all operations involving it must be performed in conformity with the regulations in force concerning electric plants and personal safety.

CHARACTERISTICS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE GUARDS TO CARRY OUT ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE MACHINE, SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRIC
POWER SUPPLY AND DISCHARGE THE RESIDUAL PRESSURE INSIDE THE UNIT.
ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWEVER SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONNEL.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage caused as a result of negligence of failure to abide by the instructions given above.

  • THIS MACHINE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EXTERNAL INSTALLATION
  • THIS MACHINE CORRESPONDS TO THE ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FORESEEN FROM THE EUROPEAN STANDARD (2006/42 CE).
  • THE LUBRICATING LIQUIDS AND OTHER EVENTUAL FLUIDS MUST NOT BE DISCHARGED IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THESE POLLUTING AND HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS MUST COMPULSORY BE DISPOSED BY CHARGING
  • AUTHORISED AND SPECIALISED FIRMS ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT TYPOLOGIES OF PRODUCT.
  • DIFFERENTIATE THE COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (PLASTIC, COPPER, IRON, OIL FILTER, AIR FILTER ECC…)

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

The dryer is a chilling machine with direct expansion and dry evaporator.
The air to be dried is sent to the heat exchanger in which the water vapour present is condensed: the condensate gathers in the separator and is discharged outside through a steam trap.

INTENDED USE

The dryer has been built to dry the compressed air for industrial use. The dryer cannot be used in premises where there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out which releases substances into the environment which are dangerous with regard to safety (for example: solvents, inflammable vapours, alcohol, etc.).
In particular the appliance cannot be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with foodstuffs. These uses are allowed if the compressed air produced is filtered by means of a suitable filtering system
(Consult the manufacturer for these special uses.)
This appliance must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed. All other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable. The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.

OPERATION

The gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator (4) is sucked by the refrigeration compressor (1) and it is pumped into the condenser (2). This one allows its condensation, eventually with the help of the fan (3); the condensed refrigerant passes through the dewatering filter (8) and it expands through the capillary tube (7) and goes back to the evaporator where it produces the refrigerating effect.Due to the heat exchange with the compressed air which passes through the evaporator against the stream, the refrigerant evaporates and goes back to the compressor for a new cycle.
The circuit is equipped with a bypass system for the refrigerant; this intervenes to adjust the available refrigerating capacity to the actual cooling load. This is achieved by injecting hot gas under the control of the valve (9): this valve keeps constant the pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator and therefore also the dew point never decreases below 0 °C (32 °F) in order to prevent the condensate from freezing inside the evaporator. The dryer runs completely automatically.

GENERAL SAFETY STANDARD

The appliance may be used only by specially trained and authorized personnel.
Any tampering with the machine or alterations not approved beforehand by the Manufacturer relieve the latter of responsibility for any damage resulting from the above actions.
The removal of or tampering with the safety devices constitutes a violation of the European Standards on safety.

ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWEVER SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONNEL.

Max. temperature of incoming air: 50 °C (122 °F)|

 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

The machine must be transported as shown in the following fig. 5.

UNPACKING

CUTTING THE METAL STRAPPING IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION, DO NOT ABANDON THE CUT PIECES IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

After removing the packing, ensure that the machine is unbroken and that there are no visibly damaged parts.
If you are in doubt, do not use the machine but apply to the manufacturer technical assistance service or to your dealer.
The packing material (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, screws, wood, metal strapping, etc.) must not be left within the reach of children or abandoned in the environment, as they are a potential source of danger and pollution.Dispose of these materials in the approved collection centres.

INSTALLATION

POSITIONING
After unpacking the equipment and preparing the dryers room, put the machine into position, checking the following items:

  • ensure that there is sufficient space around the machine to allow maintenance (see Fig. 6).
  • ENSURE THAT THE OPERATOR CAN SEE THE WHOLE MACHINE FROM THE CONTROL PANEL AND CHECK THE PRESENCE OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS IN THE VICINITY OF THE MACHINE.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

  • Check that the supply voltage is the same as the value indicated on the machine data plate.
  • Check the condition of the line leads and ensure that there is an efficient earth lead.
  • Ensure that there is an automatic cut-out device upstream for the machine against overcurrents, with a differential device ( Ref. 1 Fig. 6 ), wiring diagram.
  • ONLY PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONNEL MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE ELECTRIC PANEL. SWITCH OFF THE POWER BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR OF THE ELECTRIC PANEL. COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE CONCERNING ELECTRIC PLANTS IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR OPERATOR SAFETY AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MACHINE.

CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR NETWORK
Fit a manual interception valve between the machine and the compressed air network so that the dryer may be isolated during maintenance operations. Drainage of condensate Rif. 2 Fig. 7 (automatic) are led outside the machine with a flexible pipe that may be inspected.
Drainage must comply with the local regulations in force.
ALL DAMAGE DUE TO THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE NDICATIONS CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND MAY CAUSE INVALIDITY OF THE GUARANTEE CONDITIONS.
