Adjusting the Temperature Set
Point
Any changes made to the set point temperature will affect the on time value
shown. To minimize energy usage, Conair recommends using the lowest set
point temperature that is required to dry your material and maintain the required
material throat temperature. In situations where the incoming material moisture
content is low (1000 ppm or less - Winter) you will be able to run lower set
point temperatures.
Changes to set point temperatures will affect the material temperature profile
and the hopper outlet temperature.
Increasing hopper outlet temperature will increase the pressure drop in the fil-
ters due to the velocity of the air increasing. Increasing air temperature
decreases its density (air expands as it is heated). This decrease in density caus-
es an increase in the velocity of the air. Increased velocity increases the pres-
sure drop.
✐
NOTE:
Making too large of a
change in set point will
change the material throat
temperature too fast for the
processing machine to react.
This may cause changes to
barrel temperatures, back
pressures, and injection pres-
sures.
