Hybrid Dryer
Why Combination of Heatless and
Refirgeration Dryer ??
Heatless Desiccant dryer
Heatless desiccant Dryer can provide the
required dew point of 40 deg c.
The purge air used would be 13.4% of inlet
air and equals to 320 m3/hr. Which interms
of energy cost is very high.
Refrigeration dryer
In the refrigeration dryer there is no purge
loss
But the dewpoint achived is only 21 deg c
against the requirement of 40 deg c.
Hybrid dryer
Combination of both Refrigeration and
Healtess dryer
Increases the dewpoint to 40 deg and the
purge loss accounts to 0nly 0.2 % .

Refrigeration Dryer
Air / Air Heat Exchanger
Tube / Tube construction
Pre cools the compressed air before
entering in to the evaporator (A/F)
Re heats the outgoing air to the usable
level
Air / Freon Evaporator
Tube / Tube construction.
Cools the compressed air from the
Air/Air Heat exchanger to 3 deg c.
R 22 gas is used as Refrigerant gas.
Demister
Moisture separator connected in
between the Evoparator and Heat
Exchanger.
Separates the miosture condensed
due to the cooling effect.
Automatic drain valve at the bottom of
demister, drains the collection

Demister Drain Valve
Pre cooler
Water cooled after cooler, before the
Heat Exchanger to cool the
compressed air.
Refrigerant Compressor
Heart of the Dryer.
Compresses low pressure (50 PSI),
Low temperature gas in to High
pressure (240 PSI) and high
temperature gas.
Other Components
Water cool condenser
Pressure switch
Hot gasbypass valve
Expansion Device
Controller
Safety Interlock
When Discharge pressure goes above
280 PSI..
Pressure switch senses the high
pressuer and trips the compressor
High pressure Trip is indicated in the
front panel of the dryer
When discharge pressure goes below
220 PSI..
Hot gasbypass valve
Expansion Device
Controller
Safety Interlock
When Discharge pressure goes below
220 PSI..
Pressure switch senses the low
pressure and switches off the water
flow control valve
Automatically the waterflow control
valve is switched when the pressure
reaches 240 PSI
Maintenance
Sparekit replacement once in a year
for the Drain valve.
Demister element replacement once in
3 years
Refrigerant Gas replacement once in 5
years
Service the Water cool condenser with
Dil HCl, if required once in a year.
