Compressed Air and Refrigerant Circuit / Operation Principles
Compressed Air Circuit
Hot and humid air which has come in an air dryer firstly enters air-cooled aftercooler part, and is
cooled. Then, it enters reheating part and exchanges its heat with dehumidified cold air and
becomes cooler. Then, it enters cooling part and gives its heat to cold fleon, which cools and
dehumidifies further, and separates its moisture. Finally, it exchanges its heat with hot and
humid air which comes in the air dryer and it goes out from the air dryer as warm and dry air
.
Refrigerant Circuit
The fluorocarbon charged in the refrigerant circuit is compressed by the compressor and cooled
by the condenser to become liquid. Then, going through the capillary tube, it is decreased the
pressure to reach a low temperature.
Passing through the cooler part, it draws heat from
compressed air and intensely boils. Finally it is inhaled into the compressor again. The capacity
control valve opens to prevent dew drops from freezing when compressed air is cooled enough.
