Summary Drawing Standard Dryer*
Function description
The dryer dries and purifi es the compressed air supplied by the compressor and provides
medical breathing air.
The air is thereby dried alternately in one of the drying agent vessels. The dried air is subse-
quently purifi ed in the third vessel, whereby oil residue and other contaminants are removed.
Before the compressed air is fed into the dryer, it fl ows through upstream fi lters where dust,
dirt, oil and water droplets are removed. Thus, the installed upstream fi lter is also used for
extending the service life of the drying agent.
The installed downstream fi lters clean the compressed air from drying agent abrasions, be-
fore it is fed into the compressed air system.
The two vessels contain an extremely porous drying agent by means of which humidity is
removed from the compressed air and stored just as in a sponge. The stored humidity is then
removed again from the drying agent and re-introduced into the ambient environment.
To this end, the two vessels alternate between different operating modes. Whilst in one ves-
sel, compressed air is de-humidifi ed (adsorption), in the other vessel the humid drying agent
is prepared for another charge (regeneration). These two states, which run in parallel during
compressed air preparation, are described below.

Adsorption
Via a compressor, humid compressed air is
supplied to the upstream fi lter. From here, the
compressed air fl ows upwards through the
absorption vessel, which is pressurised. In so
doing, the drying agent dehumidifi es the air.
The dried compressed air is supplied to the
pipe network via the purifying vessel and the
downstream fi lter.
Here, adsorption is shown in the left
vessel.
Regeneration (running in parallel to the adsorption)
At the same time the other chamber is prepared for a renewed take-up of humidity. This
process is called regeneration.
The regeneration is subdivided into three phases: expansion, dehumidifi cation, and pres-
sure build-up.
With the dewpoint-sensing control option, the regeneration phase is followed by a standby
phase.
Expansion phase
During the expansion phase the pressure in the
right chamber is released via the muffl er down
to ambient pressure within just a few seconds.
The outfl ow of the compressed air becomes
noticeable due to a sudden powerful fl ow noise
at the muffl er.
Dehumidifi cation phase
Prior to being released into the pipe network,
dried compressed air is bled by means of an
orifi ce plate. This separate regeneration air fl ow
is fed through the depressurised chamber. The
humidity stored in the drying agent is taken up
by the air fl ow and expelled into atmosphere via
the muffl er.
Here, regeneration is shown in the right
vessel.
EN | User Manual
Technical product description
16
BSP-MT 10-95/D3
Pressure build-up phase
After dehumidifi cation the pressure in the
regenerated hollow section vessel is built up to
operating pressure, so that the switchover from
regeneration to adsorption can take place at
operating pressure level.
Pressure build-up
Standby phase (only with the dewpoint-sensing control option)
When in standby phase, the fully regenerated vessel is ready for absorption operation. The
system is switched to this vessel, as soon as the measured dewpoint at the compressed air
outlet has reached the set dewpoint value for switchover.
Switchover
When the drying agent in the adsorbing chamber has taken up a suffi cient level of humidity,
then the switchover between the vessels will be effected between the vessels. Following
switchover, the above-described process is repeated, with the adsorption and regeneration
now taking place in the respective different vessel.

Available options
The following options are available for the dryer:
◊ Start-up device
◊ Signalling contacts of control system and compressor synchronisation
◊ Dewpoint-sensing control
◊ Fine fi lter muffl er
◊ Nozzle kit
Start-up device
A start-up device basically consists of a pressure holding device, which is located at the rear
of the dryer. The pressure holding device ensures that pressure can build up in the dryer and
adsorption take place.
It is always required when an empty compressed air reservoir or an empty compressed air
system must be fi lled downstream of the dryer (e.g. following weekend shutdowns and when
the pressure in the compressed air system can frequently drop below the stated operating
pressure).
Signalling contacts of the control system & compressor synchronisation
The control system is equipped with a digital input for the synchronised operation with a
compressor. This feature allows for synchronised and thus effi cient dryer operation with
discontinuous compressor operation.
Compressor synchronisation helps reduce energy costs, as the dryer can be operated inde-
pendently of the compressor.
The compressor synchronisation controller is a higher-level controller than the pressure dew
point controller (see below). When both options are in place, the compressor synchronisation
controller is treated as the prime controller.
The control system can also be equipped with an optional operation signalling contact with
which the dryer operation can be monitored from an external device. Dryers with the optional
dewpoint-sensing control are equipped with such a contact as standard. It is used for the
transmission of operating signals and for the output of dewpoint alarms.
Dewpoint-sensing control
With a dewpoint-sensing control system, you can operate the dryer in fi xed or variable
cycles. In the fi xed cycle, switchover is effected after a fi xed time period (usually after 5
minutes). In the variable cycle, the switchover is effected in relation to the dew point reached
and the charging of the drying agent . The adsorption time in the variable cycle amounts to
60 minutes maximum.
Fine fi lter muffl er
A fi ne fi lter muffl er is used to reduce the noise emission of the dryer to lower levels than the
standard muffl er can provide. If installed, the fi ne fi lter muffl er replaces the original installed
muffl er.
Nozzle kit
In the case that the operating pressure deviates from the standard design pressure (7bare)
it is possible that the amount of necessary regeneration air changes. This effect may have
a negative impact on the cost-effectiveness of the dryer. To prevent this, it is possible to
replace the built in regeneration air nozzle by a nozzle with a modifi ed bore. This replacement
optimizes the regeneration air consumption and therefore restores the energy effi ciency of
the dryer. To receive more information on this conversion, please contact the manufacturer.

Installation
Only authorized and qualifi ed specialist personnel may carry out work on pipes
and electrical systems.
As soon as the dryer has been set up at its installation location, you can install the com-
pressed air infeed and outlet lines make the electrical connections.
Preconditions for installation
For a correct installation the following preconditions must be met on the part of the owner.
◊ Connections and lines for the infeed and outfeed of compressed air must be provided.
◊ A compressed air inlet valve as well as a compressed air outlet valve must be installed by
the owner, so that the dryer can be installed and maintained in a depressurised condition
(see also the installation example on page 19).
◊ All pipes, couplings, and connections must have the correct diameter and match the oper-
ating pressure.
Hazard caused by exceeding the limit values!
A safety device must be provided in order to protect against the maximum
permissible operating pressure from being exceeded.
The safety device must be installed so that the dryer is reliably protected from
exceeding the maximum permitted operating pressure even when the tempera-
ture of the compressed gas increases.
The data required to meet these preconditions are contained in the technical documentation
attached in the annex.
Warning!
If the above preconditions are not complied with, a safe operation of the dryer
cannot be assured. Also, the functionality of the dryer may be detrimentally
affected.

Connect piping
In order to ensure that the dryer operates optimally, the dryer must be assembled into the
compressed air system free of all stresses.
Ensure before connection that all infeed and outfeed compressed air lines and valves are
clean and undamaged.
Check the bolt connections and retighten if necessary, as they could have worked loose
during transportation.
Remove plugs on the pressure inlet and outlet.
All piping must be free from any stress and tension whatever!
Pipes subject to stress may burst due to the load placed on them during opera-
tion. This may cause damage to property and personal injury.
Use steel pipes to connect the dryer to the compressed air system.

Warning against electrical voltage
Only qualifi ed specialist personnel may carry out work on the electrical system!
Installing the supply cable
The components of the dryer have been connected to the control cabinet at the factory. You
only need to connect the control cabinet to the electrical supply cable.
The switchbox is provided with a connector where electrical power must be connected.
Ensure that the cross-section of the electrical supply cable corresponds to the power
rating of the dryer and the electrical voltage provided by the customer.
Make the electrical supply cable to the dryer voltage-free.
Secure the electrical supply cable to the dryer against switch-on.
Undo bolt (1) on the connector and withdraw
connector with seal from the switchbox.
Use a suitable tool to remove the terminal
block from the connection box.
Undo the PG union and pull the cable th-
rough the aperture (3). The exposed phase ends
should not be longer than 35 mm max.
Now make the cable connection as follows:
— .. Earth to terminal PE
— ..L1 to terminal 1
— .. N to terminal 2
Terminal 3 is not used.
Fit terminal block into the connector and
use bolt to remount the connector with seal on
the switchbox.
Connect electrical cable to device
adapter
In all phases the dryer must be protected against short circuits by means of fuses.
In order to relief cable strain, re-tighten the PG union.
Connecting the external signalling lines
Note:
For the use of the dryer in redundant systems (according to the European Phar-
macopoeia) with imposed control, we recommend
-
operation of the dryer in synchronised compressor mode, and
-
operating intervals of minimum 24 hours,
in order to achieve the desired dewpoint and regular cycles.

For compressor synchronisation
The controller is fi tted as standard with a digital input which makes the dryer regeneration
dependent on operation of the compressor (switch S1 on the controller’s circuit board, see
also fi gure below).
If switch S1 is in the ON position, operation of the compressor and dryer regeneration run
synchronously: When the compressor is stopped, the dryer regeneration also stops. When
the compressor is restarted, regeneration also restarts.
If switch S1 is in the OFF position, any regeneration process which has been started, is
always continued until completed.
To install the external line, proceed as follows:
Connect the signalling line to the potential-free busbar connection of the compressor to
terminals 1 and 2 on the control board (see circuit diagram).
Hinweis:
The compressor synchronisation controller is a higher-level controller than the
pressure dew point controller. When both options are in place, the compressor
synchronisation controller is treated as the prime controller.
For operation monitoring system (optional)
Operators have the option to connect the dryer to a fault signalling system, connecting the
respective line to a potential-free operation signalling contact. With this option, the following
statuses and events can for example be transmitted to a remote control room:
◊ Dryer on (contact made)
◊ Power supply disconnected (no contact)
◊ Dewpoint alarm (only with dewpoint-sensing control option, no contact)
To install the external lines, proceed as follows:
Connect the lines of the fault signalling system to relay K5 (see circuit diagram).
Check bolt connections
Before the initial start-up:
Check all unions and bolt connections as well as the terminals in the control cabinet for
secure seating; re-tighten if necessary.

Overview of operating and control elements
ON/OFF switch
The ON/OFF switch (2) is located to the side of the switchbox and above the mains plug (1,
see fi gure):
◊ If it is set to 0, the power supply is disconnected and the dryer is switched off. The main
valves are (V1, V2) are open, while the expansion valves (V3, V4) are closed. This means that
the air can circulate in the main processing direction, even if the dryer is switched off.
◊ If the switch is set to I, the dryer is switched
on and begins to operate in fi xed cycle mode
(i.e. time-controlled).
◊ If the switch is set to position II, the dryer is
switched on and begins to operate
— with compressor synchronisation
— in variable cycle mode (i.e. dew-point-cont-
rolled).
Position II is only relevant for operation with
the optional compressor synchronisation and/
or dewpoint-sensing control

Start up dryer
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffl er:
◊ A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
◊ Particles carried in the air fl ow act like bullets and can injure your eyes or
skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the vicinity of
the dryer!
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the dryer, or manipulate the same in any way, for as
long as the plant is still pressurised! A sudden escape of pressure may cause
serious injuries.
Before carrying out any work on the dryer, fi rst depressurise the plant.
◊ The more powerful the dryer is, the more noise may be generated during operation. There-
fore, the operator must provide suitable protective equipment (e. g. ear protection).
◊ Only operate the dryer within the permissible limits. By operating the dryer in conditions for
which it has not been designed, functional faults may be caused.
◊ Depending on the size of the dryer and the compressed air network and the respective legal
requirements in your country, it may be necessary to perform initialisation according to the
directive for pressure equipment.
◊ Check the dryer regularly for externally visible damage and defects. Any changes, even in
its operating behaviour, must be reported immediately to the competent offi ce or person.
◊ In the event of an emergency or if a safety-relevant disruption occurs (e.g. escaping com-
pressed air, defective component), the dryer must be shut down immediately as described
in the section on page 30). The unit may only be restarted after all defects have been
eliminated.
Open compressed air supply and switch on dryer
For start-up, please proceed in the sequence shown here.
Ensure that the compressed air inlet and outlet valves installed by the owner are closed
(see installation example on page 19).
Ensure that the compressed air system upstream of the dryer is pressurised. If necessary,
pressurise (switch on compressor).
Slowly open compressed air inlet valve!
Avoid sudden pressure build-up in any circumstance! If pressure builds up too
fast, this may cause damage to the dryer. Therefore, the compressed air inlet
valve must always be opened quite slowly!
Slowly open the compressed air inlet valve, installed by the owner, upstream of the dryer.
Switch on dryer: to this end, set the ON/OFF switch to I
If the dryer is taken into operation for the fi rst time, or after a change of drying agent, the
following intermediate step is meaningful. In the case of a restart situation, the following
intermediate step can be skipped.

Operating the dryer for the fi rst time (or after a change of drying agent) separately
Depending on the transportation and storage conditions, the drying agent in the chambers
can already be loaded with humidity from the environment. At each fi rst start-up it makes
sense therefore to operate the dryer from some time separately from the compressed air
system. This causes the drying agent in each chamber to be regenerated repeatedly and thus
to be prepared optimally for the take-up of humidity.
Note:
Depending on the pressure dew point to be achieved, we recommend to oper-
ate the dryer at fi rst start-up:
◊ for pressure dew point of –25 to –40 °C: without compressed air consump-
tion for at least 4 hours;
◊ for pressure dew point of –70 °C: without compressed air consumption for
1 day and then at a reduced nominal fl ow of 50% during the next 6 to7 days
without regard for the dew point.
If you wish to take the dryer into operation in accordance with our recommendation, proceed
as follows:
Ensure that the compressed air outlet valve installed by the owner is closed.
Keep the compressed air outlet valve closed for the time period recommended above.
Then the dryer can be taken into service in the compressed air system as described in the
following section:
Operate dryer immediately in the compressed air system
Ensure that the compressed air system downstream of the dryer is pressurised or that a
start-up device (option, see page 17) was installed into the compressed air system directly
downstream of the dryer.
The importance of this increases with the size of the compressed air system downstream of
the dryer. Smaller compressed air systems can be pressurised also by means of compressed
air fed through the dryer.
Slowly open compressed air outlet valve!
Avoid a sudden drop in pressure in any circumstance! If pressure drops too
fast, this may cause damage to the dryer. Therefore, the compressed air outlet
valve must always be opened quite slowly!
Slowly open the compressed air outlet valve installed by the owner. The pressure should
not drop below the operating pressure (if poss.). If necessary, keep the compressed air outlet
valve in a slightly open position until the compressed air system downstream of the dryer has
fi lled up completely; only then should the valve be opened fully.
The dryer has then be taken into operation within the compressed air system.
In the event of a fault
In the event of an emergency or if a safety-relevant disruption occurs (e.g. escaping com-
pressed air, defective component), immediately close the compressed air supply line and set
the ON/OFF switch of the dryer to 0 in order to disconnect it from the power supply. After-
wards depressurise the dryer (see also chapter , page 30).
Then proceed as follows:
Remedy fault:
Look up possible cause of the fault, and how to remedy the same, in the table on page
40.

Changing cycle mode (optional)
When can I change cycle mode?
If the dryer has been successfully commissioned and is equipped with one of the following
options:
◊ compressor synchronisation or
◊ dewpoint-sensing control
it can be set to economy cycle mode.
When should I change cycle mode?
Cycle changes should be made during the pressure build-up phase and prior to switchover;
during this phase, the pressure in both vessels is just below operating pressure so that a fast
pressure build-up is prevented when the vessels are switched.
During this period, only the adsorption LED is on in the diagram, and the digital display
shows step 4 or step 9 for the duration of 1 minute (see logic control diagram; not displayed
with dewpoint sensing).
Which cycle modes can I choose?
If the dryer is connected to a compressor synchronisation system and is equipped with the
dewpoint-sensing control option, these two optional devices can only started together. The
compressor synchronisation has thereby precedence over the dewpoint-sensing control.
With compressor synchronisation
If compressor synchronisation is enabled, the dryer can only be operated in conjunction with
the compressor. As soon as the compressor is switched off, the dryer is automatically set to
standby mode.
In standby mode, the control system remains on, and the dryer is ready for the next switcho-
ver, which is made as soon as the compressor is switched on.
Note:
The compressor synchronisation controller is a higher-level controller than the
pressure dew point controller. When both options are in place, the compressor
synchronisation controller is treated as the prime controller.
With dewpoint-sensing control
Dryers equipped with dewpoint-sensing control operated in variable cycle mode, based on
the measured dewpoint of the dried air at the compressed air outlet. As soon as a certain
dewpoint is reached, as the drying agent in the absorbing chamber is saturated, the cham-
bers are switched.
The dewpoint at which a switchover is made is preset at the factory.
How do I change cycle mode?
Wait until the dryer has reached the pressure build-up phase (phase prior to switchover).
One LED for Adsorption B1/B2 is on in the fl ow diagram.
Set the ON/OFF switch to position II.
The programme continues the cycle.

Monitoring dryer operation
The dryer operates fully automatically. However, you should carry out the regular checks
described in the Chapter Maintenance and repair of the dryer.
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffl er:
◊ A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
◊ Particles carried in the air fl ow act like bullets and can injure your eyes or
skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the vicinity of
the dryer!
With dewpoint-sensing control (optional)
Display of dewpoint
If the dryer is equipped with a dewpoint-sensing control system, the digital display at the
front of the switchbox shows the currently measured dewpoint. The range of display is –100
°C (-148 °F) to +20 °C (68 °F).
If the set dewpoint is exceeded, the system automatically completes a switchover between
the chambers. The dewpoint at which a switchover is made is preset at the factory.
After commissioning or extensive maintenance work, check the dewpoint display at the
dryer.
Under certain circumstances, the desired dewpoint is only reached after prolonged operation.
Error messages
If the measured dewpoint exceeds the preset alarm limit (5 °C (41 °F) above the switchover
value), the displayed dewpoint value is fl ashing. In addition, an error message can be issued
through the potential-free busbar.

Shutdown and restart dryer
In the following cases, the dryer must be fully shut down and depressurised:
◊ In the event of an emergency or malfunction
◊ For maintenance work
◊ For dismantling
Risk of injury from escaping compressed air!
Never remove any parts of the dryer, or manipulate the same in any way, as
long as the unit is pressurised! Suddenly escaping compressed air might cause
serious injuries.
Prior to any work, release all pressure from the unit.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the dryer, if it is switched off during the expansion or drying
phase.
During these phases, the pressure in the regenerating chamber is released
to ambient pressure: If the main valve is opened, as the dryer is switched off,
there is a sudden pressure build-up in the chamber. This might result in
◊ damage to the drying agent, and
◊ excessive abrasion, with negative impact on the regeneration capacity.
Before switching off the dryer, wait until it has reached the pressure build-up
phase or is in standby mode (before switchover).
Note:
If the unit is equipped with a compressor synchronisation system, fi rst switch
off the compressor and then wait until the dryer has reached the standby phase
before switching it off with the ON/OFF switch.
This ensures that the regeneration cycle is completed, and that the pressure in
both chambers is at the same level.
As soon as the dryer is switched on again, the programme continues the cycle
from the point at which it has been stopped.
Emergency shutdown
To emergency shut-down the dryer heed to the following instructions:
Close shut off valves upstream and downstream of the dryer (if applicable)
Disconnect the electrical power supply (i.e. by switching the On/Off switch to 0).
◊ The dryer is now off-line.
If applicable, depressurise the dryer now.
Before re-commissioning of the dryer ensure that the emergency situation has been solved
and that the dryer is not damaged.
Never commission a damaged dryer!
Depressurising and shutting down the dryer
Close compressed air feed line
Close the compressed air inlet valve (provided by the operator).
Disconnect voltage supply
Switch off the dryer by setting the ON/OFF switch to position 0.
Disconnect dryer from compressed air system
Close the compressed air outlet valve installed by the owner.

If work is to be carried out on the electrical system
Depressurise and shut down the dryer, following the instructions in the above chapter.
Risk of injury due to voltage-carrying parts!
The electrical supply cable and external power lines are live even after the
dryer is switched off and, in the event of body contact, may cause serious
injury! Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, the electrical
supply cable and all external power lines must be made voltage-free!
Make the electrical supply cable to the dryer voltage-free.
Secure the electrical supply cable to the dryer against switch-on.
Restart
Depending on the fi ttings installed by the operator and the actual pressure conditions, the
unit might have to be restarted at operating pressure. The following general rules apply:
◊ When switched off, the dryer is open in main fl ow direction. With the optional start-up de-
vice , the set minimum pressure must however be reached prior to restart.
◊ If the dryer is equipped with a dewpoint-sensing control system, it is depressurised gradu-
ally, according to the read measuring current.
If compressed air system and dryer have remained at operating pressure
Ensure that the compressed air inlet valve (provided by the operator) is open.
Set ON/OFF switch to I. The programme continues the cycle from the point at which it
was interrupted.
Slowly open compressed air outlet valve!
Avoid a sudden drop in pressure in any circumstance! If pressure drops too
fast, this may cause damage to the dryer. Therefore, the compressed air outlet
valve must always be opened quite slowly!
Slowly open the compressed air outlet valve installed by the owner. The pressure should
not drop below the operating pressure (if poss.). If necessary, keep the compressed air outlet
valve in a slightly open position until the compressed air system downstream of the dryer has
fi lled up completely; only then should the valve be opened fully.
The dryer is now in operation again and operates fully automatically.
If compressed air system and dryer have not remained at operating pressure
If disconnected, reconnect the voltage supply of the dryer.
Ensure that the manual drain on the downstream fi lter is closed.
Pressurise and switch on the dryer as described in the section Open compressed air
supply and switch on dryer on page 26.
The dryer is now in operation again and operates fully automatically.
After the purifying agent has been replaced
The newly fi lled purifying agent contains minute dust particles that can block the downstream
fi lters. We therefore recommend to complete the following steps before you restart the dryer,
in order to protect your equipment:
Remove the housing base and the fi lter element from the downstream fi lter.

Regular maintenance intervals
Note:
If a chamber has been depressurised, e.g. after completion of the ex-pansion
phase, and the pressure remains above 0 bar, the chamber is pressurised by
what is known as ram pressure. This might be due to
◊ blockage at the muffl er(s)
◊ contamination of the perforated plates
◊ spent drying agent
To prevent such malfunctions, regularly service the dryer as described below.

Renew muffl ers
The dryer is equipped with a muffl er. If the muffl er becomes blocked, a dam pressure is gen-
erated which in extreme cases may cause the muffl er to burst.
Hazard caused by blocked muffl er!
Blocked muffl ers can cause a dangerous overpressure to build up which may
cause the muffl ers to burst. Flying fragments may cause personal injury and
damage to property.
Therefore, the muffl ers must be replaced every 12 months and after each
change of desiccant.
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffl er:

8,500 operating hours). If the compressed air is insuffi ciently dried before it reaches the
adsorber (see technical data in the appendix), the service life of the purifying agent can be
considerably shortened. In this case, the agent must be replaced every 6 months (after ap-
prox. 4,000 operating hours).
Renew drying agent
The service life of the drying agent is usually approx. 3 to 5 years. However, in favourable
installation conditions, the change of drying agent may be carried out at a substantially later
date. The change interval depends very signifi cantly from the degree of contamination in the
compressed air (or the quality of the compressed air upstream fi lters). Oil, dust, and dirt parti-
cles cover the drying agent surface and reduce its effective surface, in part quite irreversibly.
Every 24 months
Replacing inlet valves (V1/V2) and check valves (V5/V6)
The inlet valves (main valves) and the check valves are part of the 24-month service kits.
Replace them every 2 years as a precautionary measure.
Expansion valves (V3/V4)
In addition to the inlet valves and the check valves, the expansion valves have to be re-
placed every 24 months as a precautionary measure.
Replacing solenoid coils
Solenoid coils come with the 24-month service kits. Replace them every 2 years.

Summary of faults
There are different fault types. In the case of most electrically caused faults (e.g. short circuit,
defective fuse, etc.) the expansion valve closes and the regeneration is interrupted. In the
case of some process faults, the dryer will continue to operate for some time. Other faults on
the dryer become noticeable e.g. due to unusual noises and ran pressures.
The following table shows who is allowed to remedy a fault: the owner’s specialist personnel
or the manufacturer’s service engineer.
