Overview
Solid-state dryer controls are located in a polycarbonate, NEMA
Class 4/4X, IP66 rated electrical enclosure mounted to a center
panel located between the two desiccant towers. Controls are
available in two functional levels. Both controls offer four fixed-
time cycles that provide dew points corresponding to ISO
compressed air quality classes 1 through 4. A key difference
between the two controls is the way in which they address
energy savings. When inlet flow is less than the adjusted rated
capacity of the dryer, average purge air requirements are
reduced. This reduction can translate to energy savings at the air
compressor.
The Level 1 Controller offers 8 selectable fixed-cycle Energy
(purge) Saver modes (0% to 70% in 10 % increments) to reduce
purge time to match the load on the dryer.
Level 2 Controllers feature the Automatic Purge Saving System
(APSS) as described in Sections 3.2 and 3.4. When Level 2
Controllers are operated in demand rather than fixed cycle
modes, the APSS automatically adjusts to dryer loading and
extends drying time when possible. Average purge use is thus
automatically reduced.
A feature-by-feature comparison of Level 1 and 2 Controllers can
be found in Table 5-1.
