Example:
Example:
An DRYPOINT RA 500 NA has a nominal duty of 500
scfm (849 m3/h). What is the maximum allowable flow
through the dryer under the following operating
conditions:
–
Inlet air pressure = 120 psig (8 barg)
–
Ambient temperature = 105°F (40°C)
–
Inlet air temperature = 105°F (40°C)
–
Pressure DewPoint = 38°F (3°C)
Each item of data has a corresponding numerical factor
as follows:
The procedure here is to list the operating conditions and
then to locate the corresponding numerical factors:
–
Design air flow = 300 scf m (509 m
3
/h)
–
Inlet air pressure = 120 psig (8 barg)
–
Ambient temperature = 105°F (40°C)
–
Inlet air temperature = 105°F (40°C)
–
Pressure DewPoint = 38°F (3°C)
In order to select the correct dryer model the required flow
rate is to be divided by the correction factors relating to
above mentioned parameters:
=
348 scfm (591 m
3
/h)
→
This is the
maximum flow rate that the dryer can accept under
these operating conditions.
=
432 scfm (734 m
3
/h)
→
Therefore the model
suitable for the conditions above is DRYPOINT RA 500
NA (500 scfm or 849 m3/h - nominal duty).
