Using the OptiMizer™
What is OptiMizer™?
The OptiMizer™ feature in the Single Stage Energy Smart system (ES1) automat-
ically adjusts system air flow and air temperature to achieve maximum energy effi-
ciency while still maintaining the desired material temperature and low moisture
levels. The OptiMizer™ system works with either English or Metric units of
measurement, however, all of the measurements shown in this operator’s manual
are the English units Fahrenheit (°F) and Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM).
How Does It Work?
The OptiMizer™ operation is based on unique recipes created by the individual
user. These recipes contain the setpoints that meet the needs of each resin drying
application. Using the material throat temperature and DMII drying monitor tem-
peratures, the OptiMizer™ system will automatically adjust the air flow and air
temperature to achieve these settings. Each recipe is classified as Optimized or
non-Optimized. This designation helps determine the path that the control takes in
order to deliver dry resin at the desired temperature. The setpoints and system set-
tings shown in this document are the default settings recommended by Conair
when using the OptiMizer™ system.
Operation
The operation description in this manual will begin from a cold start. It is also
recommended that the airflow control is set to automatic (PID Control). In the
single stage system, several factors such as a dirty filter, material shift, and materi-
al flow affect the airflow. In manual (VFD % Output) mode, the VFD will not be
able to adjust to these changes. In automatic mode, the VFD will adjust automati-
cally to maintain the airflow setpoint.
Non-Optimized Recipe Operation
Typically, the first time a recipe is used it is configured as non-Optimized
(described in the Recipe Creation section). When a non-Optimized recipe is used,
from a cold start, the system will progress through the following series of modes:
•
Initial Delay
•
Pre-dry
•
OptiMizer™ Delay
•
Dynamic Tune Down/Tune Up
•
Optimized
