An appropriately sized dryer and its correct application is critical to optimise manufacturing processes which use compressed air systems Reduction of energy consumption has been a mission for most countries in order to curb our global warming problem. SPX FLOW has developed a revolutionary energy saving refrigerated compressed air dryer that uses Phase Change Material (PCM) which saves up to 99% of energy. Unique Product Design Adopted Phase Change Material PCM (Patented) Stainless steel brazed plate heat exchanger with PCM filled in Automatically triggers refrigeration compressor to switch ON or OFF according to varying compressed air heat loads Great Energy Efficiency Up to 99% energy saving with the lowest cost Shortest period of return of investment No Loss Drain Electrostatic capacity sensor Zero loss of compressed air when condensate water is discharged Automatically switch to timer mode at malfunction Oil Removal to Provide Virtually Oil Free Air Integrated Cold Coalescing oil removal filter 99.8% oil removal efficiency Heat Exchanger 5-year Warranty Program When used with NGF filter installed upstream and filter element replacement had been in accordance with recommended maintenance Heat Exchanger replacement is confined to its leakage or blockage problem Latent Heat Latent heat is energy released or absorbed by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant temperature process that is specified in some way. For instance, when ice melts into water, it absorbs heat from its surroundings. Vice versa, when water freezes into ice, the same volume of the heat is released. As such, when heat flows in and out at constant temperature, we call this heat as latent heat. We can see latent heat absorption when there is heat supplied, and latent heat desorption when heat is removed. In general, latent heat value is much higher than sensible heat value. For example, sensible heat value for water is 4.18KJ/kgC, but latent heat for changing ice to water at constant temperature of 0 C is 334kJ/kg which is 80 times of sensible heat value. ENERGY SAVING AIR DRYERS - PCM SERIES From 20HP to 3,000HP and larger PCM Series is the ultimate solution providing perfect dehydration and enormous energy savings! This PCM technology harnesses the latent heat occurs when PCM converts solid to liquid or liquid to solid, which automatically triggers the refrigeration compressor to switch ON or OFF according to varying compressed air heat loads. Heat adsorption (Iatent heat) Heat emission (Iatent heat) Why Phase Change Material? PCM is a substance with high latent heat which melts or solidifies at a certain temperature, thus being able to absorb or release large amounts of energy. Taking advantage of the magnitude of Latent Heat (at change of phase) which is a multitude of times higher than Sensible Heat (at change of temperature), by adopting PCM technology, substantial amount of latent heat in the refrigerated dryer can be saved. In other words, PCM dryer provides sufficient cold storage with only a small amount of phase change material, resulting in simple engineering design, compared to existing "Thermal Mass" dryers which are available in the market. Hence by being able to lower the manufacturing cost through streamlining and replacing redundant components with PCM cutting edge technology, SPX FLOW has introduced the most cost-effective and efficient high performance dryer in the industry. 2 / 3

No power is consumed during this period. ④T he PCM gradually melts as it adsorbs heat from the compressed air, and when fully melted, the refrigeration compressor and condenser fan resume to cool down the PCM. How it Works ① Compressed air saturated with water vapour enters the stainless steel brazed plate air-to-air heat exchanger, is pre-cooled by the outgoing chilled air, and then directed to the stainless steel brazed plate PCM-to-air heat exchanger (evaporator) where it is further cooled by the Phase Change Material (PCM). ② As the air is cooled, water vapour condenses into liquid droplets which are then removed by high efficiency integral moisture separator with No Loss Drain. ③ Chilled air returns through air-to-air heat exchanger (reheater) where it is reheated before exiting the dryer. This is to prevent external sweating of piping when clean and dry compressed air travels to point of use. Non-Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer Hot Gas Bypass Valve is adopted Phase Change Material (PCM) which freezes or melts at specific temperature is adopted Refrigeration compressor in continuous operation regardless of the levels of loading of compressed air Low material cost but high running cost Simple engineering design Unstable dew point Refrigeration compressor is activated when necessary according to the loading of the air compressor Maximizing energy saving effect Stable dew point Simple design, ease of maintenance 4/5
