13.0 FUNCTION CONTROLS
The NWB-DC Series dryers come complete with the following controls:
13.1 Process Temperature Control (Drying Temperature)
The Temperature Control is a part of the NovaWheel NovaTouch PLC controller and controls the
process outlet temperature as per the set value. In addition, there is a process high temperature
limit thermostat that is provided for extra safety. (Refer to the controller section).
13.2 Regeneration Temperature Control
The regeneration temperature is controlled by the NovaTouch PLC controller. In addition, there is
a regeneration high temperature limit thermostat, which provides extra safety. The regeneration
temperature is set at about 380°F. (190°C) and should not be changed.
13.3 Process & Regeneration Air Filter Pressure Switches (PS)
The air pressure differential across the process filter and
the regeneration filter is monitored
and the NovaTouch display will alarm and show when a
filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
These are factory set but often need to be adjusted in
the field once the customer loads resin in the hopper.
Access pressure switches through after removing the back panel from the dryer. Remove Phillips
screw that holds clear cover in place (Fig. 1) . Turn knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to either
increase or decrease
13.4 Process Air Dew Point Monitor
It measures the process air dew point from the dryer.
13.5 Intelligent Regeneration
Intelligent Regen constantly monitors the regeneration inlet and outlet temperatures and controls
them to optimize the energy and dew point performance of the dryer.
13.6 Conveying Control
Provides entry of load/dump times and number of attempted loads before No-Load Alarm is
activated plus Blow Back control, if specified.
