DX DIRECT EXPANSION ENERGY SAVING AIR DRYER 400 to 3000 scfm Features: Digital Scroll Compressor Qualifies for energy rebates www.macair1.com Setting a new standard in Quality and Reliability
DX Series Direct Expansion Energy Saving Air Dryer with Capacity Modulation Control TM For decades non-cycling, direct expansion refrigerated air dryer has proven to be most effective and reliable method of lowering dew point and removing moisture from compressed air systems throughout industry. The non-cycling, direct expansion air dryer design uses a refrigerant vapour expansion/ compression cycle to directly cool compressed air stream. The moisture in air condenses to a liquid and is separated from air stream and drained away. This dryer design is fitted with a hot gas bypass valve that prevents compressed air in evaporator (air to refrigerant heat exchanger) temperature from dropping below freezing point and blocking air flow. The down side to this design is that it runs at or near full power regardless of amount of air flow going through dryer. Now re is a better alternative Today, more than ever before, need to reduce power consumption and lower energy costs is paramount. engineers have developed DX series direct expansion energy saving air dryer featuring revolutionary digital scroll compressor. The DX series dryer is able to match its power consumption in direct proportion to current load on dryer. The control system is called Capacity Modulation Control tm. Pressure transducers coupled by a closed loop digital controller instantaneously unloads digital scroll compressor during periods of low air flow. When compressor is unloaded it is doing no work. When in unloaded position power consumption is reduced by 90%. The DX series dryer delivers accurate and consistent dew point control from 0 to 100% load conditions and reduces power consumption up to 90%.

Reduces operating costs up to 90% Capacity Modulation Control tm On most compressed air systems actual air usage varies widely most of time. This means that load on dryer is constantly fluctuating. The Capacity Modulation Control system consists of a closed loop digital controller and pressure transducers. When air flow going through dryer decreases a signal is sent to digital scroll compressor to unload and stop pumping refrigerant to evaporator. During this unloaded state dryer power consumption is reduced by 90%. When air flow increases compressor is loaded and resumes pumping refrigerant. The result is up to 90% reduction in power consumption and operating costs. Qualifies for energy rebates Reliable Energy Saving Performance Cycle Time The Digital Scroll operates in two stages loaded state, during which solenoid valve is normally closed and unloaded state, during which solenoid valve is open. During loaded state, compressor operates like a standard scroll and delivers full capacity and mass flow. However, during unloaded state, re is no capacity and no mass flow through compressor. At this stage, let us introduce concept of a cycle time. A cycle time consists of a Loaded State time, and an Unloaded State time (Figure 2). The duration of se two-time segments determines capacity modulation of compressor. By varying loaded state time and unloaded state time, any capacity between 10% and 100% can be delivered by compressor.

Non-Cycling Dryer Design vs DX Series Energy Saving Dryer Typical Non-Cycling dryers use a hot gas bypass valve and run continuously to control flow of refrigerant and maintain a stable dew point. Energy consumption remains at or near full power regardless of air demands. While this type of dryer delivers steady 38 F dew point it is very energy inefficient. The DX series dryer does not have a hot gas bypass valve. By loading and unloading refrigerant compressor DX series dryer delivers steady and constant 38 F dew point air while also providing reliable energy savings during periods of low air flow. There is only one way to determine actual cost of an air dryer. Initial Cost + Operating Cost = Actual Cost Guaranteed Annual Energy Reduction and Operating Costs Savings with DX Series Energy Saving Air Dryer.
