9.2 Installation positioning
Below are the two most common configurations of installations in which the RDP refrigeration
air dryer is installed. The schemes below are not mandatory and they are just a sample. A
different arrangement of components is always possible.
1. Compressor 6. Refrigeration air dryer
2. Air conveyor 7. Pressure vessel
3. Condensate Separator 8. Filter
4. Pre-filter (min. 5 micron) 9. Condensate drain
5. Bypass air valve
Type A installation is recommended when the compressor operates at a reduced interruption rate and
total consumption that equals the flow of the compressor.
Type B installation is recommended when air consumption is usually repeated with conical values that
are much higher than the compressor flow. The capacity of the pressure vessel must be dimensioned
according to possible instantaneous needs (peak consumption).
