Does Decentralizing Compressed Air Dryers Make Sense? Perhaps More Often Than You Think! Air Power USA April 20, 2017

Introduction The main focus of this webinar is to explain accurately the benefits of delivering a -40 F / -40 C pressure dewpoint ONLY where required and with optimal energy efficiency NOT ALWAYS OVERDRYING ALL THE PLANT COMPRESSED AIR! LOWER PRESSURE DEWPOINT COSTS MORE THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO REACH THE GOAL!

What is a Centralized -40 F Pressure Dewpoint System? A very common application in practice today is drying all the compressed air going to production to -40 F / -40 C then delivering the dry air to all the production processes regardless of actual need. 1.Do you know how much this common application costs in operating energy annually? 2.Lost pressure annually? 3.Lost compressed air annually (purge air)? LETS FIND OUT!

Establishing the Energy Cost Establishing the energy cost of producing compressed air used for purge and pressure produced but LOST. Purge Compressed Air: 1 cfm = $100 year in power cost (100 psig - 4.0 cfm/hp - $.06 kwh - 8,000 hours year) Pressure Loss: 1 psig = ½% or.005 power 1 psig of 100-hp compressor = $179 year in power cost ($.06 kwh 8,000 hours year -.9 ME) $179 year 400 scfm = $0.45 psig / scfm / year All calculations are based on 8,000 hours year, and $.06 kwh

Refrigerated Dryers: +40 F / 4.4 C Pressure Dewpoint Refrigerated Dryers deliver a nominal +40 F / 4.4 C pressure dewpoint at 100 psig with 100 F saturated inlet air temperature Removes about 86% of the moisture from 100 F inlet saturated air.

Refrigerated Dryers: Annual Energy Operating Costs per SCFM Annual Energy Cost Non-cycling Refrigerated Dryer 250 cfm 1.5-hp $814 year 500 cfm 3-hp $1,747 year 1,000 cfm 5-hp $2,750 year 2,000 cfm 10-hp $4,875 year

Desiccant Dryers Operating Costs Higher initial cost and maintenance costs Heatless = 15-20% purge air Heated purge = 7-8% / kw heater Blower purge = 0-3% purge Total estimated average annual pressure loss (dryer and filters) = 13 psid year $5.85 scfm year

Another Drying Technology: Sometimes Ignored - Membrane Dryers Selective membrane compressed air dryer can be a very effective pointof-use when properly applied. Water vapor goes through membrane and is swept away by dry air sweep air always proportion to actual flow lower or no flow lower or no lost sweep air. Centralized System: 50 scfm flow / 100 F / 100 psig PDP SaturatedAir Picture courtesy of Beko Technologies SCFM Flow IN SCFM Flow OUT Sweep Air Lost Delivered PDP 59.8 scfm 53.82 scfm 5.98 scfm 10% +65 F Pressure loss (8 psid x.45 psig x 60 scfm) (Dryer negligible pressure loss) Estimated cost of sweep air = $216 year Decentralized System: Taking the same air from a refrigerated dryer delivering a +40 F PDP Saturatedair SCFM Flow IN SCFM Flow OUT Sweep Air Lost Delivered PDP 59.8 scfm 53.82 scfm 5.98 scfm 10% +22 F Significant improvement performance at the same operating costs lower PDP improves the transfer of the water vapor though the membrane while reducing the moisture load to the dryer.

What is the True Cost of Over Drying the Air? If you have a centralized -40 F pressure dewpoint compressed air system - ask yourself these questions: 1. Do you know the percentage of air being used that REQUIRES a -40 F? Is it 10%, 25%, 50% etc.? 2. Have you ever performed an audit identifying this percentage requirement? 3. Do you know what to do to get the answer?

How is the Air System Effected When You Decentralize? What tools do you have to evaluate? Potential procedures Identify -40 F / -40 C processes as a percent of the total air supply Measure flow Talk to the operator Talk to the machine manufacturer Experiment Consider the economics of removing 86% of moisture with refrigerated dryers at less cost per scfm ($8.83 scfm/year vs. average desiccant cost of $20.71 scfm/year) What are the economics of downstream / decentralized, point-of-use dryers with +40 F pressure dewpoint inlet air instead of 100 F pressure dewpoint inlet air Lets look at typical scenarios at 10%, 25%, and 50% required air at - 40 F / -40 C.

Summary: Important Take Aways Know what your -40 F / -40 C PDP demand requirement is 10-25% at -40 F PDP demand for a decentralized system strong consideration 50-75% at -40 F PDP demand for a decentralized system should still be evaluated with the following considerations: The point-of-use dryers will see a 20% or lower moisture load (80+% reduction) Under sizing basic desiccant dryers that much will cause pressure loss problems and should be avoided Your evaluation should ALWAYS include a modern, effective dewpoint demand controller for these point-of-use desiccant dryers An effective pressure dewpoint controller will reduce desiccant dryer operating costs by about: Heatless dryer type at 10-15% Heated dryer type at 30-35% The values used in this presentation are fixed examples -- use the methodology and generate your own site specific answers!

How can you improve compressed air system performance in decentralized environments? Measure the dewpoint of your air dryers! Use the measured dewpoint to control the dryer s tower switching cycle Verify whether the dryer is working at peak efficiency Determine the temperature at which condensation will form in the process gas or piping Kahn Instruments, Inc. 2

Measuring Dewpoint To Improve Air System Performance Kahn can provide three different methods to measure dewpoint A dewpoint transmitter Lowest cost, easiest to implement A dewpoint hygrometer with a display Gives you a local readout of measurements A portable hygrometer Allows monitoring of the air dryer, as well as the air system throughout the plant 3

Useful Results of Measuring Dewpoint You can observe -- not guess -- the improvement in air system performance When you change the desiccant in the dryer Better dewpoints When you perform maintenance or make repairs Better dewpoints Better Dewpoints = Improved System Efficiency, Less Dryer Usage and Lower Energy Costs 4

What instrument do you require to improve air system performance? For continuous on-line measurement, install the instrument on the air dryer Dewpoint Transmitter 4-20 ma output and no display Output signal wired to DCS or dryer control system Easidew Dewpoint Transmitter On-Line Dewpoint Hygrometer Dewpoint sensor, display, sensor cable, power cord Cermet II Hygrometer Kahn Instruments, Inc. 5

Hand-held, Portable Instruments At or Downstream of the Air Dryer Easidew Plus Portable Hygrometer Simple to operate Teflon tubing stored in lid. Built-in sampling system with filter. Ideal for -40 Fdp air dryers Kahn Instruments, Inc. 13

Hand-held, Portable Instruments At or Downstream of the Air Dryer HygroPort Portable Hygrometer Use on -40 or -100 Fdp air dryers Measure dryer dewpoint, check accuracy of on-board sensor, monitor dewpoint downstream Internal or external dewpoint sensor -148 to +68 Fdp (-100 to +20 Cdp) Extremely fast measurements Fdp, Cdp, PPMv, PPMw Data log up to 320,000 points BlueTooth wireless data upload Backlit display NimH battery -- 48 hour usage Pressures to 5000 PSIG Durable NEMA 4 industrial design Easy to handle and operate NIST traceable calibration 14

Summary Measuring dewpoint is essential for efficient dewpoint demand systems Dewpoints of decentralized compressed air dryers can be measured using transmitters, display units and portable hygrometers Transmitters and local display hygrometers can output directly to the dryer s control system or a centralized DCS Portable hygrometers allow for monitoring multiple points downstream of air dryers and throughout the compressed air system Kahn offers high accuracy, wide range, NIST traceable dewpoint transmitters and hygrometers Kahn Instruments, Inc. 15
