Dewpoint
- The process air must be at a low dewpoint so it can efficiently collect
the moisture as it is released from the heated material and carry it to the dryer to be
removed in the desiccant. In most cases, the dryer will dry your material satisfactory
if the dewpoint of the air is -20 to -40° F {-29 to -40° C}. If your dryer does not have
a dewpoint readout, you can check the dewpoint with a portable dewpoint instru-
ment. Conair sells a variety of portable dewpoint meters. Contact Conair Parts.
Problem
Dryer dewpoint is not
reaching proper setpoint.
Possible cause
Low regeneration temperature.
Poor regeneration airflow.
High dewpoint, ambient air leaking into
the closed loop drying circuit.
Return air temperature to the dryer is too
high. (The return air temperature on
D1300-5000 dryers is measured at the
inlet to the desiccant wheel.
D1300-
5000 dryers designed prior to August
2007,
the return air temperature is
measured at the inlet to the process
blower.)
Poor desiccant performance.
Solution
Replace or check defective heaters, fuses
etc.
Clean or replace the regeneration filter.
Ensure the regeneration blower is operat-
ing properly and rotating in the correct
direction.
See Installation section enti-
tled, Checking for proper airflow.
Remove obstructions in the air stream,
such as crimped hoses, etc.
Replace damaged hoses and seal any
leaks in the process air circuit.
If using a vacuum loader on the hopper,
ensure that the loader shroud is installed
in the hopper and that the hopper is com-
pletely filled with material.
If partially filling your hopper, ensure
that the hopper loader is sealed against
ambient air.
Install a gasket between the loader and
the top of the hopper.
Clean the aftercooler coils.
See Mainte-
nance section entitled, Cleaning the af-
tercooler coils.
See Troubleshooting section entitled, Re-
placing the desiccant wheel assembly.
Replacement dewpoint
monitors are available
from Conair.
