How often do you recommend the Desiccant be replaced?

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:26:48 +0000

We recommend that the Desiccant should be changed once a year.

Our units can go upto 3 years with out needing the change the desiccant. This is all dependent on your compressor and how old it is, if it has oil blow by, ect…

The best way to have an idea on when you should change the desiccant is to have a dew point meter on your unit. When you track a pressure drop on the dew point meter from the last time the desiccant was installed.

Contact us if this does not Answer your question.

RD = Superior Contaminant Removal System

Gas is treated and filtered by a scrubber before compression, which raises its temperature, and lowers its relative humidity. Compressed gas flows thru Moisture Evaporator and After-Cooler, where gas is cooled to near ambient temperature.

From After-Cooler gas flows thru Gas-Gas Heat Exchanger (Economizer) and Gas to Refrigerant / Glycol Heat Exchanger, where its temperature is lowered down to 40^oF (4^oC). Cooling of gas condenses vapors, which are separated and removed in Cold Coalescing filter for maximum separation.

Cold gas then flows thru Gas-Gas Heat Exchanger, where it's re-heated to 70^oF to 90^oF (21^oC to 32^oC), as it pre-cools incoming gas. System includes a Back Pressure Regulator to control gas flow & pressure at system outlet, and return excess gas to a storage/ flare.

E = ECONOMICAL CONTAMINANT REMOVAL SYSTEM

Gas is filtered by an inlet scrubber before the gas to refrigerant (or glycol) heat exchanger to remove entrained particulates & liquids; and, to keep heat exchangers clean. The gas to refrigerant heat exchanger cools gas to 40^oF before its compressed, which protects blower/compressor.

Gas compression raises the gas temperature, and lowers its relative humidity; which is desirable for most applications. Upon compression, the gas flows thru Moisture Evaporator (optional); where the gas is cooled and the moisture is evaporated. The system includes a "Back Pressure Control Valve" to control gas flow & pressure to the system outlet and return the excess gas. It's available as a factory integrated system; or, in two parts – Gas to Refrigerant Heat Exchanger and balance of the system.

Which one is required, blower or compressor?

admin — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:04:27 +0000

A typicl blower can provide up to 15 PSIG gas pressure, whitch is usually sufficient for most low pressure devices e.g Boilers & IC Engines.

A gas compressor is usually required for devices requiring a higher gas pressure e.g. Micro-turbines & Turbines.

How much Gas pressure is required?

admin — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:42:31 +0000

The gas pressure needed depends on the device using the gas; add to it the pressure losses thur cleaning equipment, piping, valves ect.

What should the Gas be tested for?

admin — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:38:50 +0000

At the minimum, the gas should be tested for – Methane, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Siloxanes & Sulfides (H₂S & SO₂)

Pioneer Super Deliquescent dryers

Our Deliquescent dryers are the only deliquescent dryers capable of suppressing, or reducing, compressed air dew points by up to 70^oF/39^oC. This is important because dew point is the temperature at which moisture begins to condense. In a compressed air system, measurement of the dew point under (PDP). Knowing the needed PDP sizing and operation of your Super Deliquescent dryer.

A Super Deliquescent dryer requires minimum capital outlay. It is easy to install and requires little maintenance. And, it typically pays for itself in one year or less by reducing maintenance costs and down time.
