INTRODUCTION

HRD Series and HRD-EM (Energy Management) Se

-

ries heatless desiccant compressed air dryers remove

moisture from compressed air to achieve a standard

pressure dew point of –40°F. Refer to Table 5 for rated

capacity and other dryer specifications. The heatless

dryer supplies a continuous flow of dry compressed air

by alternately cycling the airflow through two desic

-

cant beds; one adsorbs moisture from the inlet air

while the other is regenerated by a portion of the dry

air from the active bed.

To ensure continuing good dryer performance and safe

operation, everyone who installs, uses or maintains the

dryer must read and carefully follow the instructions in

this manual. Throughout the manual, the word dryer is

used to refer to HRD and HRD-EM Series heatless air

dryers.

SAFETY

HRD and HRD-EM Series dryers are designed and

built with safety as a prime consideration; industry-

accepted safety factors have been used in the design.

Each dryer is checked at the factory for safety and op-

eration. The desiccant vessels are hydrostatically

tested to 1½ times the maximum pressure in accor-

dance with ASME code requirements. A factory-

installed safety relief valve is standard on each dryer.

WARNING

The following safety rules must be observed to

ensure safe dryer operation. Failure to follow

these rules may void the warranty or result in

dryer damage or personal injury.

1. Never install or try to repair any dryer that has

been damaged in shipment. See the Receiving and

Inspection instructions in this manual for appro

-

priate action.

2. Never operate the dryer at pressures or tempera

-

tures above the maximum conditions shown on

the data plate.

3. Always supply electrical power that complies

with the voltage shown on the data plate.

4. Never dismantle or work on any component of the

dryer or compressed air system under pressure.

Vent internal air pressure to the atmosphere be

-

fore servicing.

5. Never perform electrical service on the dryer un

-

less the main power supply has been discon

-

nected. Parts of the control circuit may remain

energized when the power switch is turned off.

6. Use only genuine replacement parts from the

manufacturer. The manufacturer bears no respon

-

sibility for hazards caused by the use of unauthor

-

ized parts.

Safety instructions in this manual are boldfaced for

emphasis. The signal words DANGER, WARNING

and CAUTION are used to indicate hazard serious

-

ness levels as follows:

DANGER—Immediate hazard which will result in se

-

vere injury or death.

WARNING—Hazard or unsafe practice which could

result in severe injury or death.

CAUTION—Hazard or unsafe practice which could

result in minor injury or in product or property dam

-

age.

The dryer data plate, attached to the electrical control

box, contains critical safety and identification informa

-

tion. If the data plate is missing or defaced, immediate

-

ly contact your local distributor for a replacement.

INSTALLATION

Receiving and Inspection

Immediately upon receipt of the dryer, thoroughly in-

spect for damage that may have occurred during ship-

ping. Since the dryer is shipped F.O.B. New Castle,

Delaware, the carrier is legally responsible for damage

incurred during shipping. Shipping damage is not cov-

ered by the dryer warranty.

If goods are received short or damaged, notify the car

-

rier and insist on a notation of the loss on the face of

the bill of lading. Otherwise no claim can be enforced

against the carrier.

If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the

carrier at once and request an inspection. The carrier

will make an inspection and grant a concealed damage

notation. The carrier will not consider any claim for

loss or damage unless an inspection has been made. If

you give the carrier a clear receipt for goods that have

been damaged or lost in transit, you do so at your own

risk and expense.

If there is any damage, file a claim with the carrier,

then call your local distributor for further instructions.

Handling

The dryer is designed to be moved by means of the

shipping skid or the base channels. Handle the dryer

with care and only with equipment capable of lifting

the load.

HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378) 1-3

Ambient Air Temperature

Locate the dryer under cover in an area where the am

-

bient air temperature is between 35°F and 120°F.

Location and Clearance

Install the dryer on a level pad. The dryer is provided

with a minimum

5

8

-inch diameter anchor bolt holes.

For dryers 56 through 600 scfm, anchor the dryer to

the floor with four ½-inch diameter bolts with a mini

-

mum 4-inch thread engagement. For dryers 800 scfm

and larger, anchor the dryer to the floor with four ¾-

inch diameter bolts with a minimum 6-inch thread en

-

gagement. Allow 24 inches clearance on all sides of

the dryer for servicing. Provide adequate clearance for

prefilter and afterfilter element replacement. Provide

protection for the dryer if it is installed where heavy

vehicles or similar portable equipment is likely to

cause damage.

System Arrangement

Install the dryer downstream of an aftercooler and sep-

arator so that the dryer inlet air is between 60°F and

120°F and contains no liquid water. Liquid water

and/or inlet air temperatures above 100°F can reduce

drying capacity. Contact your local distributor for in-

formation on proper dryer sizing at elevated inlet air

temperatures.

Oil contaminates the desiccant, reducing drying effi-

ciency and desiccant life. An oil-removing filter is in-

stalled at the dryer inlet to protect the desiccant from

oil contaminants. A particulate filter is installed after

the dryer to remove dirt and other solid particles.

Piping and Connections

All external piping must be supplied by the user unless

otherwise specified. Refer to Table 1 for connection

sizes. Inlet and outlet manual shutoff valves and a vent

valve are recommended so the dryer and filters can be

isolated and depressurized for servicing. Refer to Fig

-

ure 1 for recommended piping layout. The connections

and pipe fittings must be rated for or exceed the maxi

-

mum operating pressure given on the dryer data plate

and must be in accordance with industry-wide codes.

Be sure all piping is supported. Do not allow the

weight of any piping to bear on the dryer or filters.

Piping must be the same size as or larger than the

dryer connections. Piping smaller than the dryer con-

nections will cause high pressure drop and reduce dry-

ing capacity.

If the purge exhaust muffler piping must be extended

outside the dryer area, the piping must be sized so that

it will cause no more than 0.25 psig back pressure.

Back pressure reduces the capacity of the dryer.

RECOMMENDED PIPING LAYOUT

Consult your local distributor for piping details if re

-

quired.

Dryer bypass piping may be installed to allow uninter

-

rupted airflow during servicing. If the downstream ap

-

plication cannot tolerate unprocessed air for short

periods, install a second dryer in the bypass line.

CAUTION

Do not hydrostatically test the piping with the

dryer in the system. The desiccant will be

damaged if saturated with water.

Desiccant

HRD and HRD-EM Series dryers use activated alu

-

mina as the desiccant in the dryer vessels.

Models 56 through 600 scfm are shipped with acti

-

vated alumina in the dryer vessels. Activated alumina

is shipped loose with all other standard models.

All desiccant shipped loose must be added to the

dryer vessels before the dryer is put into service.

Refer to Table 2 for quantity per vessel.

To add desiccant:

WARNING

The following procedure provides instructions

for adding the initial desiccant to the vessels. If

replacing desiccant, refer to the instructions

on page 1-13.

1. Verify pressure gauges of both vessels indicate 0

psig. If not, depressurize the vessels according to

the shutdown instructions on page 1-12.

2. Remove the pipe plug from the desiccant fill port

at the top of each vessel. Refer to the dryer label

for the schematic depicting the fill port location.

CAUTION

Pouring desiccant creates a fine dust; safety

goggles, gloves and dust mask should be

worn by personnel installing desiccant. Refer

to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on

page 1-23 for more complete information.

Do not tamp the desiccant in vessels. Tamping

damages desiccant and causes dusting.

3. Carefully pour activated alumina into the vessels

through the fill port.

4. Tap the vessels with a rubber mallet to ensure uni-

form distribution of the desiccant.

5. Replace the plugs in the fill port connections.

Mufflers

Purge exhaust mufflers are supplied with every dryer.

If they are not factory installed, they must be screwed

into the purge exhaust connection on the lower mani

-

fold piping before the dryer is operated. Desiccant

dusting may cause a restriction in the purge exhaust

muffler shortly after start-up. Depending on the dryer

model, the muffler cores may be in the control enclo

-

sure or strapped to a vessel leg. For additional infor

-

mation see Desiccant Dusting in the Maintenance

section, page 1-11.

WARNING

Operating dryer without mufflers will cause

noise levels exceeding OSHA standards.

Remove mufflers only for servicing and

maintenance and only after internal pressure

of dryer has been completely vented to

atmosphere.

HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378) 1-5

Electrical Connections

The dryer is prewired, ready for use. Connect the dryer

to the power supply specified on the data plate. Con

-

nections, marked L1 and L2, are on a terminal strip in

-

side the electrical box. Make connections through the

plugged hole (identified by a tag) on the bottom right

of the box.

DANGER

Ground the dryer using the connection

supplied inside the electrical box. Refer to the

electrical schematic at the back of this manual

for connection details.

Important Note: Do not switch power to the dryer

on and off via a remote disconnect. To avoid dryer

malfunction, power to the unit must be switched on

and off using the switch on the dryer control panel.

INSTRUMENTATION

The following instrumentation helps in monitoring

dryer operation and performance. Instruments which

are available on either the HRD or HRD-EM (energy

management) are so noted.

Power ON Light

The power ON light on the control panel indicates

when the dryer is turned on and operating.

Vessel Pressure Gauges

A gauge mounted on the gauge bracket indicates

which vessel is onstream and which is regenerating.

The gauge for the onstream vessel indicates operating

pressure; the gauge for the regenerating vessel indi

-

cates 0 psig.

Purge Flow Indicator

A gauge mounted on the gauge bracket of the dryer in

-

dicates purge air pressure as an approximate measure

of purge airflow when used with the calibration graph

shipped with the dryer. To approximate purge airflow,

locate the pressure gauge reading (psig) on the hori

-

zontal axis of the graph. Follow the pressure upward

until it intersects the calibration curve. Follow this

point to the left until it intersects the vertical axis. This

point on the vertical axis is approximately the purge

airflow.

Switch-Failure Alarm

Pressure sensors located on each vessel trigger both

audible and visible alarms if a vessel does not depres-

surize at the completion of its drying cycle. A red

light, labeled SWITCH FAILURE, is located on the

electrical panel. A time-delay relay is included sepa-

rately in the dryer packaging. The relay must be

mounted into the electrical panel before start-up. The

electrical schematic at the back of this manual gives

wiring details.

Moisture Indicator

A color-change moisture indicator is shipped sepa

-

rately in a moisture-proof bag. The moisture indicator

should be installed in a customer-supplied 1¼-inch

NPT threaded port at the dryer outlet. The indicator is

green when dry. The color changes to yellow when the

relative humidity of the dryer outlet air is approxi

-

mately 4%-5%. This indicator is intended only as an

inexpensive means of determining possible dryer mal

-

function.

High-Humidity Alarm (HRD-EM only)

A moisture sensor in the dryer outlet manifold moni

-

tors the relative humidity of the outlet air. The sensor

triggers audible and visible alarms if the relative hu

-

midity of the outlet air exceeds the factory setting. The

audible alarm is located near the control enclosure. A

red light, labeled HIGH HUMIDITY, is located on the

electrical panel. A set-plug adjustment bulb (refer to

Figure 9) is included for use in calibrating the

1-6 HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378)

high-humidity alarm. Contacts for remote annunciators

are connected to the terminal strip in the electrical en

-

closure; refer to the electrical schematic for terminal

numbers. Refer to the maintenance section of this

manual for field adjustment instructions.

Compu-Purge (HRD-EM only)

Indicators

HRD-EM Series dryers are equipped with

Compu-Purge

®

control which has an indicating panel

(Figure 2) on the door of the main electrical box.

These indicators help in monitoring dryer operation

and performance. If the dryer malfunctions, first check

this panel to determine the cause of the problem.

Light Function

Power ON

Lights when switch is in “ON” position

and power is supplied to dryer.

Variable Purge

Mode

Lights when drying cycle is controlled

by the microcomputer.

High Inlet Air

Temperature

Lights when inlet air temperature ex

-

ceeds 120°F. Excessive inlet air tem

-

perature significantly decreases

drying capacity and may result in

higher dew point.

Dryer Overload

Lights when inlet dryer load exceeds

dryer ability to maintain dew point.

Low Inlet Air

Pressure

Lights when inlet air pressure is less

than 65 psig. See Maintenance sec-

tion (page 1-11) for additional infor-

mation.

Sensor

Malfunction

Lights when temperature or pressure

sensor sends the microcomputer a

reading which is outside the normal

range of the sensor. See Maintenance

section (page 1-11) for additional in

-

formation.

High Humidity

Lights when the high humidity moni

-

tor senses excessive moisture in the

outlet air. High humidity may result

when dryer is slugged with water.

Failure-to-Switch

Lights if airflow fails to alternate be

-

tween desiccant vessels at desig

-

nated switching time. Failure to switch

causes desiccant saturation, resulting

in higher dew point.

Liquid Crystal Digital (LCD) Display

The LCD display is above the indicating panel on the

main electrical box. It displays “INLET AIR TEM

-

PERATURE” (°F) and “ENERGY SAVINGS” as a

percent of dryer capacity. See Maintenance section,

page 1-11, for complete description of additional read

-

outs.

Audible Alarm

Indicates high-humidity and failure-to-switch alarm

condition.

Remote Contacts

Powered 120 volt, normally open, contacts (1 amp

max.) are furnished to allow hookup of remote audible

or visible system malfunction alarms. Hookup contacts

are identified by a tag on the bottom center of the elec-

trical box.

HOW IT WORKS (HRD SERIES)

HRD Series heatless dryers provide a continuous sup

-

ply of dry compressed air by automatically cycling the

flow of air through two desiccant beds. While one bed

is adsorbing moisture from the inlet air, the other bed

is being reactivated by a portion of the dried air. Cy

-

cling is controlled by a cam timer. Figure 3 shows the

airflow through the dryer with vessel A onstream and

vessel B being reactivated.

Saturated air enters the prefilter which separates oil

mists, liquid oil, water and particulates from the air

-

stream. Separated contaminants are discharged

through the prefilter drain. With purge valve E closed,

filtered air flows through shuttle valve S into the bot

-

tom of vessel A; moisture is removed from the air

-

stream by the desiccant. Dry air exits the top of the

vessel and divides into two streams: process air exits

through the shuttle valve T, passes through the particu

-

late afterfilter and continues to the process.

HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378) 1-7

Figure 2

COMPU-PURGE

®

INDICATING PANEL

A portion of the dried air (purge air) is metered

through orifice C and reduced to atmospheric pressure

by orifice D, greatly expanding its volume. The ex

-

panded purge air flows down through vessel B and out

through the purge valve F and muffler, carrying away

moisture adsorbed by the desiccant in the previous cy

-

cle.

The dryer operates this way for approximately four

minutes. Then purge valve F closes, allowing vessel B

to gradually repressurize for approximately one minute

before the cycle changes. The cycle timing sequence

will vary depending on operating pressure. At

switchover, purge valve E opens to depressurize vessel

A. This causes shuttle valves S and T to shift so that

vessel B is onstream and vessel A is being reactivated.

HOW IT WORKS (HRD-EM SERIES)

Figure 4 shows the airflow through the dryer with ves

-

sel A drying and vessel B regenerating.

Saturated air enters the prefilter which separates oil

mists, liquid oil, water and particulates from the

airstream. Separated contaminants are discharged

through the prefilter drain. With exhaust valve C open

and D closed, filtered air enters the inlet shuttle valve

and is directed through vessel A, where moisture is ad

-

sorbed by the desiccant. Dry air exits the vessel, passes

through the outlet shuttle valve and divides into two

streams. The process air passes through the particulate

afterfilter and continues to the process.

A portion of the dried air passes through the purge ori

-

fice at approximately atmospheric pressure and passes

downward through vessel B, where it desorbs moisture

from the desiccant. Wet purge air exhausts to the at

-

mosphere through exhaust valve C and muffler E.

When regeneration is complete, exhaust valve C closes

and vessel B is repressurized to dryer operating pres

-

sure. Vessel B is completely regenerated and

repressurized, ready for the next drying cycle.

1-8 HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378)

Figure 3

AIRFLOW SCHEMATIC (HRD Series)

Figure 4

AIR FLOW SCHEMATIC (HRD-EM Series)

At the end of the drying period, exhaust valve D

opens, vessel A depressurizes, inlet and outlet shuttle

valves shift, inlet flow switches to vessel B and the

drying/regenerating cycle is repeated.

Inlet air continues to flow through one vessel for half

of the standard 10-minute cycle.

Compu-Purge Control

Compu-Purge control uses a microcomputer to adjust

the purge airflow rate and drying cycle to automati

-

cally match purge air to the inlet moisture load.

Electronic temperature and pressure sensors continu

-

ously track inlet temperature and inlet and outlet pres

-

sure and transmit these to the microcomputer. The

microcomputer calculates the dryer load and the most

efficient combination of purge flow rate and duration

to regenerate the moisture adsorbed during the drying

period.

Purge flow rate can be varied from 0 to 20% in incre

-

ments of 5% by purge control valves 1 and 2. Purge

duration can also be varied. The optimum combination

of purge control valve openings is automatically se-

lected by the microcomputer to supply only as much

purge air as needed for complete regeneration.

When the amount of purge air required to regenerate

the desiccant is more than 20% of the inlet flow, the

dryer will operate on a shortened cycle until the over-

load condition is corrected. The dryer will operate on a

5-minute cycle when in the Overload Mode.

The microcomputer uses three modes of dryer opera-

tion to match the inlet moisture load:

•

Compu-Purge Mode – When the microcom

-

puter adjusts purge air to match dryer load re

-

quirements, the dryer is operating in the

Compu-Purge mode.

•

Standby Mode – When there is low or no de

-

mand for air, the dryer operates in a standby

mode: the dryer purges until the desiccant is re

-

generated, the vessels repressurize, then the

dryer automatically shuts down; the dryer

purges every 30 minutes to assure dew point

performance.

•

Fixed-Cycle Mode – If all sensors malfunction,

the “Variable Purge Mode” light will turn off

and the dryer will automatically operate in a

fixed cycle mode, using 15% of the design air

-

flow to regenerate the offstream vessel. If only

one sensor malfunctions, the dryer will default

to standard conditions for that sensor and con

-

tinue to operate in the Variable Purge Mode.

See Maintenance section, page 1-11, for addi

-

tional information.

AUTOMATIC DRAIN VALVE (ADV)

Dryers rated 200 scfm and larger are equipped with an

electronic drain valve that automatically discharges

condensate from the prefilter.

The ADV has two LED indicators and a test button to

help verify operation. Pushing the test button causes

the drain port to click open. One LED indicates that

power is supplied to the ADV; the other LED indicates

that the drain port is open. The power indicator turns

off when the drain port opens. If either LED fails to

turn on at the proper time, refer to the maintenance

section of this manual. If the dryer is under warranty,

call your local distributor for authorization before

servicing.

ADV operation is controlled by an electronic timer.

The drain opening can be set from 0.5 to 10 sec. The

drain cycle can be set from 0.5 to 45 min.

To minimize air losses, the timer should be adjusted to

open the port just long enough to discharge accumu-

lated condensate. The timer is properly set if nothing

but air vents at the end of the open period. If air vents

for more than a few seconds, set the timer for a longer

cycle or shorter drain opening. If liquid is still dis-

charging when the port closes, set the timer for a

shorter cycle or longer drain opening.

START-UP

Once your HRD/HRD-EM Series dryer has been in

-

stalled according to instructions, it is ready for start-

up.

To start the dryer:

1. Close customer-supplied shutoff valve at dryer in

-

let.

2. Open customer-supplied bypass valve, if installed.

3. Close customer-supplied letdown and shutoff

valves at dryer outlet.

4. Supply compressed air up to inlet shutoff valve.

5. Slowly open inlet shutoff valve and wait for dryer

to reach operating pressure. Pressure gauges on

both dryer vessels will indicate operating pres

-

sure.

6. Check all piping connections for air leaks. Rem

-

edy leaks before continuing start-up.

Turn alarm silencer switch on front of electrical

box to “ON.”

9. Slowly open the outlet shutoff valve.

10. Close customer-supplied bypass valve.

Dew Point

The pressure dew point of the outlet air is controlled

by the amount of purge air used for reactivation. Purge

airflow is continuous and is adjustable within a set

range. The dew point can be manually adjusted ±20

degrees (depending on operating conditions) using the

purge adjustment valve. Closing the valve will result

in a higher dew point. Opening the valve will result in

a lower dew point. Dryer installation and start-up must

be completed before the purge valve is adjusted.

For applications requiring dew points outside this

range, contact your local distributor.

Dew Point Adjustment

After your dryer has been installed and the start-up

procedure completed, adjust the dryer for a –40°F dew

point as follows.

1. Determine air pressure (psig) at the dryer inlet.

2. Refer to Table 3. For your model and inlet air

pressure, determine the inlet airflow and average

purge rate (% of inlet air) required to produce a

–40°F dew point.

3. Calculate the required purge flow (scfm):

Purge Flow = Purge Rate x Inlet Flow

4. Refer to the purge flow calibration graph shipped

with the dryer. On the graph, locate the average

purge airflow (calculated in Step 3) and the corre-

sponding purge adjustment valve setting (psig).

5. Manually adjust the purge adjustment valve at the

top of the dryer until the correct setting is indi

-

cated on the gauge. For dryers 55 thru 160 , adjust

the purge as follows:

DANGER

Do not remove the petcock base from the

shuttle valve.

•

Unscrew and remove the petcock wing from the

petcock base on the shuttle valve at the top of

the dryer (see

Figure 5).

•

1-10 HRD and HRD-EM Series (Bulletin 378)

Figure 5

Cutaway of Shuttle Valve

responds to the desired purge rate as indicated

on the purge flow calibration graph. Turn the set

screw counterclockwise to increase the purge

flow; clockwise to decrease the purge flow.

•

Remove the allen wrench.

•

Replace the petcock wing.

CAUTION

Inlet air temperatures higher than 100°F will

reduce the design dew point of the dryer.

The dryer can now be put into service. No further ad

-

justments are necessary unless there are changes in op

-

erating conditions. Within limits, changes in inlet flow

rate can be compensated for by adjusting the purge ad

-

justment valve (repeat Steps 1 through 5 above).

Dew Point Verification

After the dryer has operated for a minimum of five

days, check the dew point of the outlet air with a pres-

sure dew point instrument. Follow the directions for

the instrument used.

Use only metallic tubing when checking dew point

since plastics, rubber and similar materials absorb

moisture from the ambient air and give false readings.

MAINTENANCE

Desiccant Dusting

The dryer vessels for models 56 through 600 scfm are

shipped filled with desiccant. Some dusting will occur

from movement of the desiccant during shipping. Dust

carried by the purge air eventually plugs the mufflers

preventing complete depressurization of the offstream

vessel and proper airflow switching. When this occurs,

the muffler cores must be replaced. Replace muffler

cores when the pressure gauge on the offstream vessel

indicates a pressure higher than 0 psig. Replacement

interval depends on dryer usage and the quantity of

desiccant dust formed.

CAUTION

The desiccant beds may fluidize at excessive

airflow rates. Refer to Table 3, page 1-11.

Airflow surges may also cause fluidization.

Surges may occur if the dryer is not started in

accordance with instructions or if the dryer is

located downstream of a receiver.

Conditions that cause fluidization must be

avoided. Fluidization causes excessive

dusting and rapid degradation of the

desiccant, reducing its effective life. Desiccant

dusting causes valves to wear and malfunction

and filters to plug up rapidly.

Shutdown
