1.5 OVERLOADING
Attention!

Protect the adsorption dryer from overload!

The adsorption dryer can become overloaded if:

The flow capacity of the medium to be dried increases

The temperature of the air at entry and, correspondingly, its
humidity increases
The minimum operating pressure is undercut
The prefiltration and separation of impurities are not sufficient
Introduction of oil into the air stream.

1.6 TRANSPORT
Immediately upon delivery of the adsorption dryer, it must be checked for any damage
that may have occurred during transport. If necessary, the damage must be recorded
on the shipping waybill/receipt. Liability for such damage usually rests with the shipper.
Contact Inge rs oll- Rand®® to arrange for any required service or replacement parts.

Attention!

For transport within your company site, only the skids of the adsorption
dryers may be used. Lifting at any other points on the equipment will void
the warranty and damage the equipment.

1.7 STORAGE
If the adsorption dryer is to be stored for a long period of time, its place of storage must
be dry and free of dust. The ambient temperature cannot go below 33°F (+1°C).

1.8 USE OF A PREFILTER AND AFTERFILTER

In order to prevent droplets of condensate, oil and dirt from getting into the desiccant, a
prefilter is installed in front of the adsorption dryer. An oil film on the desiccant reduces
the drying capacity and the dewpoint. In order to prevent breakdown in downstream
consumers caused by material that has been abraded from the desiccant bed, an
afterfilter is mounted behind the adsorption dryer. Since no condensate accumulates in
the afterfilter, this filter is always equipped with a manual vent valve.

Both filters are equipped with a differential pressure indicator (DPI) to display the
degree of contamination of the filter elements. Filter elements must be changed
annually regardless of the DPI reading.

MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
Ensure that the installation site is free of dust, dirt and litter. The site floor must be level
and strong enough to support the equipment. The site facilities must ensure that the
equipment will not, under any circumstances, freeze.

Ensure that the Ingers oll-Ra nd® adsorption dryer is carried only by its skid base frame.
The adsorption dryers must be positioned so that the side from which it is to be
operated is easily accessible. The piping is to be connected at a slightly downward
slope. Install isolation valves on the inlet and outlet sides of the adsorption dryer. Also,
a bypass pipe with an additional isolation valve should be mounted onto the adsorption
dryer to allow for an uninterrupted supply of compressed air in case the adsorption dryer
requires maintenance or repair. The bypass assembly is not provided: it is optionally
available or can be customer furnished. If vibrations occur at the installation site, the
adsorption dryer skid frame is to be placed onto vibration dampers.

2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Since the adsorption dryer has already been completely wired at the factory, the
customer only has to connect the power supply cable to the terminal strip according to
the supplied wiring diagrams (see section 7).

Warning – high voltage!

Be sure that power is removed from the line feed before making
connection between the site drop and the equipment.

This Ingers oll-R and® adsorption dryer is normally operated with a PCB. The set times are
adjusted at the factory during the test run. Do not change these adjustments!

NOTE: Contact Inge rsoll- Rand®® at 1 800 526 3615 if you have any questions.

2.3 PURGE EXHAUST

The purge exhaust may be piped to an open vent. Noise levels at the dryer may be
reduced by extending the purge exhaust piping to a remote location. Refer to the purge
piping selection chart below to prevent backpressure build-up.

EXTENDED LENGTH PIPE SIZE REQUIRED

TO 10 FEET SAME SIZE AS DRYER EXHAUST
TO 25 FEET 1 SIZE LARGER THAN DRYER EXHAUST
TO 50 FEET 2 SIZES LARGER THAN DRYER EXHAUST
TO 100 FEET 3 SIZES LARGER THAN DRYER EXHAUST

 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

Extending purge exhaust piping must not affect the back pressure of a chamber being
regenerated. A pressure reading of 3-psig is considered too high for the dryer to
regenerate efficiently.

2.4 EMS CONTROLS CONNECTION


Verify that the sample line is connected from the dryer outlet (see the flow
schematic provided in section 7) to the inlet valve on the humidity probe sample
cell


Verify that the humidity probe is installed into the humidity cell (see figure 1)


Connect the cable to the humidity probe.

3. EQUIPMENT OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLES
This dryer has two parallel adsorption chambers filled with desiccant. While the
medium is being dried flowing bottom-up in one chamber, regeneration takes place from
the top down in the other chamber. The changeover from one chamber to the other is
controlled by an Energy Management System (EMS) that monitors desiccant
performance by measuring the outlet air dew point. It can operate continuously and is
fully automatic.

The standard (STD) dryer has a cycle time of 10 minutes. Dryers with the Low Dew
Point (LDP) option have a 4-minute cycle time. In each case, half the cycle time is
dedicated to air drying work and the other half to desiccant regeneration, with one
chamber working to dry the air while the other regenerates. The cycle time affects air
flow and air quality. The longer cycle time allows greater saturation of the desiccant,
thereby decreasing its drying capacity over the period of the cycle. The faster cycling
provided with the LDP option ensures that the desiccant is regenerated more frequently,
thereby enhancing its drying performance. The dryer is configured at the factory. The
principles of operation are the same for both the STD and the LDP dryer.

Wet air enters the working desiccant chamber (it can be either the left or right) at the
inlet switching valve (bottom) and is dried as it flows upward through the desiccant bed.
Dry air exits the dryer through the outlet check valve.

At the outlet of the working chamber, a portion of the dry air (i.e., purge air) is diverted
to the regenerating chamber. That purge air, at near atmospheric pressure, will remove
previously adsorbed moisture as it flows downward through the desiccant bed and exits
through the purge exhaust muffler.

The purge air is controlled by a purge adjusting valve and purge orifices located in the
purge line. Purge pressure is indicated on the purge pressure gauge. Refer to
Appendix C for instructions on adjusting the purge rate.

Near the end of each half cycle, the chamber being regenerated will be repressurized.
For this to occur, the exhaust valve of the chamber being regenerated closes while
purge air continues to flow. Repressurizing the regenerated chamber to operating
pressure before placing it into service minimizes fluidization of the desiccant and helps
prevent desiccant abrasion which causes desiccant dust to prematurely block filter
elements.

Chamber switchover takes place when both towers are fully pressurized. This
minimizes desiccant movement which, in turn, minimizes creation of dust.

When switchover is complete, the regenerated tower will be placed into service and the
exhausted tower will begin a depressurization/regeneration cycle.

 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

When sized correctly, this dryer is designed to provide a specific pressure dewpoint
performance (generally -40°F (-40°C)) at standard operating conditions (i.e., 100 psig
(690 kPa) and 100°F (38°C)). The regeneration purge flow rate required for the dryer is
adjusted to achieve that dew point based on those conditions.

For example, for dryers operating under standard conditions, the purge flow rate is
approximately 15% of the specified maximum inlet flow. Dryers operating under less
severe inlet conditions will introduce a reduced humidity load. The DDS controls have
been factory programmed to monitor the dryer outlet dewpoint so that regeneration will
only begin when low desiccant performance registers.

3.2 OPERATOR CONTROLS

This dryer includes an energy management system (EMS) that monitors the dryer outlet
dewpoint performance to set the optimum chamber changeover cycle for desiccant
regeneration. System operating setpoints are programmed at the factory.

The operator electrical control panel features the following indicators/controls:


Dryer nameplate – the nameplate information identifies your dryer


Three-way selector switch on the left side of the operator control panel:

o DRYER OFF

o DRYER ON

o EMS ON.


Digital status display (see figure 2) used for system monitoring:

o ECONOMY CYCLE light emitting diode (LED) – lit when EMS is on

o DEW POINT LEDs – show the currently measured dew point. The display
flashes +20 when the measured dew point exceeds the factory-set alarm
limit.
o POWER LED – lit when the dryer is powered

o Flow direction LEDs – identify which dryer chamber is drying or regenerating.

The LED lit at an up arrow shows that chamber is drying. The LED lit at a
down arrow indicates that the other chamber is in regeneration mode. A
chamber which is finished regenerating, and is standing by, will have no LED
lit.

 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

Figure 2 – Status Display

There are isolation valves on the prefilter, dryer chambers and afterfilter. They are
operated manually. There is another isolation valve on dryers with the 3V option (i.e.,
bypass assembly – see paragraph 1.2).

There are two filters. The lower filter (i.e., prefilter) housing has a differential pressure
indicator (DPI) and an automatic drain. The upper filter (i.e., afterfilter) housing has a
DPI and vent valve.

Each chamber has a chamber relief valve at the top, a pressure gauge and desiccant
fill/drain (top/bottom) ports.

3.3 INITIAL START-UP

Attention!

All pipes and wire connections must be tightened!

Furthermore, before start-up:


The pipes must be checked for the presence of scale, abraded
material from the threading, or other similar impurities.

All isolation valves on the prefilter, adsorption dryer, afterfilter and on
the bypass line (if installed) should be closed.

The ambient temperature must not be less than 33°F.

NOTE: Breakdown resulting from faulty installation does not fall under Inge rs oll-
R and's warranty obligation.

11
 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

Perform the following tasks in sequence for the initial start-up:


Remove purge exhaust mufflers for the initial 1 to 2 hours of operation


Slowly open the inlet valve and observe the pressure build-up on the chamber
pressure gauge of the adsorption dryer. An abrupt pressure build-up is to be
avoided


Turn the switch to the DRYER ON position.

NOTE: Do not switch to EMS ON during the first eight hours of operation.


The adsorption dryer must be powered approximately 3 to 4 hours with the
isolation valve behind the afterfilter closed. This regenerates the desiccant.


After the regeneration phase, open the isolation valve behind the afterfilter slowly
while observing the chamber pressure gauge. If the isolation valve is opened
abruptly, it could put a stress on the system.

The adsorption dryer is now ready for operation and functions continuously and fully
automatically. After eight hours of operation, it is appropriate to engage the EMS
feature:


Fully open the inlet valve to the sample cell


Partially open the discharge valve of the sample cell to vent off a small amount of
sample air. Do not fully open discharge valve.


Perform a liquid soap test to verify for leaks on all parts of the sample line
connections and the humidity sample cell.


The digital display will now read the dew point of the dryer system (it will take a
short period of time for the humidity probe to be purged of humidity).
NOTE: The dryer should be operated in the DRYER ON position at the time of
initial start-up and at all times when the hygrometer or humidity probe are
removed for service.

3.4 SHORT-TERM SHUT-DOWN

Follow this sequence when briefly switching off the adsorption dryer:


First close all the isolation valves up- and downstream of dryer


Then immediately switch DRYER OFF.

Danger!

Dryer will remain pressurized.

12
 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005

3.5 SHUT-DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE

Follow this sequence when switching off the adsorption dryer to work on it:


First close all the isolation valves up- and downstream of the adsorption dryer,


Depressurize the dryer by using the manual vent valve mounted at the bottom of
the afterfilter,


Then immediately switch DRYER OFF.

Danger!

Before any kind of maintenance or repair work is done, the dryer must
be depressurized and disconnected from the power source.

3.6 RESTARTING

Close the manual vent valve mounted at the bottom of the afterfilter


Slowly open the inlet isolation valve and pressurize the adsorption dryer up to the
regular operating pressure by keeping closed the isolation valve mounted behind
the afterfilter


Switch DRYER ON.

NOTE: If the dryer is restarted after a long standstill, proceed as for an initial
start-up (see paragraph 3.3).

3.7 ALARMS
3.7.1 HYGROMETER FAILURE ALARM

If the hygrometer probe fails, then a fault will be triggered by the hygrometer. The DEW
POINT display on the operator control panel will read 999.

If the hygrometer itself fails or loses power, the DEW POINT display will read either
sens or -999.

3.7.2 HIGH H UMIDITY ALARM

The hygrometer has been programmed to initiate an alarm if the dryer outlet dew point
rises above the setting. The DEW POINT display on the operator control panel will read
+20.

3.7.3 COMMON ALARM RELAY

If any alarms are activated, the common alarm relay will also be activated. The alarm
relay does not convey the nature of the alarm, only that an alarm has occurred. The
alarm relay is usually connected by the purchaser to a remote monitoring station.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 CHECKLIST
These checks are to be carried out by the operator during the routine operations cycle.

4.1.1 DAILY CHECK


Carry out a general visual check of fittings, listen for a whistle which may identify
an air leak, and watch out for changes in indicated values during operation


Read the DEW POINT display and check the maintenance record


Check function by manually operating the automatic condensate drain on the
prefilter.

NOTE: Should the need for spare parts or service arise during work on the
adsorption dryer, then the dryer type and its construction must be
conveyed to Ingersoll-Rand. This information is given on the nameplate
mounted on the electric cabinet. Telephone 1-800-526-3615 to arrange for
maintenance support.

4.1.2 WEEKLY CHECK


Check the DPI on the prefilter. A value above 5 psi indicates that the element
has become blocked by excessive debris. Elements must be replaced annually
for proper performance regardless of the DPI reading.


Check the DPI on the afterfilter. A value above 5 psi indicates that the element
has become blocked by excessive debris. Elements must be replaced annually
for proper performance regardless of the DPI reading (see paragraph 4.2).


Check the back pressure of the muffler behind the inlet valve assembly by
reading the gauge on the chamber that is being regenerated; it should not
exceed 3 psig.

4.1.3 WHICHEVER I S FIRST: AFTER 2,500 OPERATING HOURS OR ANNUALLY


Check the desiccant for impurities and change it if necessary (see paragraph
4.3). A brownish/yellowish tone indicates that it has been soiled with oil. The
desiccant has a normal lifetime of about 10,000 operating hours.


Check the outlet desiccant support screens installed in the unit for impurities and,
if necessary, clean them.


Check the function of the inlet valve assembly by sending electrical control
signals.


Replace the dewpoint sensor humidity probe for recalibration of the original.

NOTE: In order to ensure continuous and trouble-free operation, a maintenance

contract with Inge rsoll- Rand®® is recommended.

4.2 CHANGING THE FILTER ELEMENT


The filter element must be changed annually


Depressurize the dryer and switch DRYER OFF

Danger!

Change filter elements only when the housing is fully

depressurized


Separate the lower part of the housing from the upper part


Loosen and remove the element by hand


Install the new filter and the O-ring/gasket, making sure that the filter seats
perfectly


Refit the filter housing.

NOTE: Elements cannot be cleaned or reused.

4.3 REPLACEMENT OF THE DESICCANT

Desiccant life is determined by the care with which it is handled, the quality of filtered
inlet air provided and by its time in use. Be careful to not abrade (i.e., wear down) the
desiccant when installing it. Proper filtering of inlet air, and constant pressure and
temperature, will also extend its life. In order to ensure trouble-free operation, we
recommend replacing the desiccant every 10,000 operating hours, or every 3 years.

The following considerations determine the life expectancy of desiccant:


Care in installation


Quality of input gas (e.g., air)


Constancy of flow and temperature


Whether full-service cycling or low-demand usage


Time in service.

The following clues will suggest that you examine the desiccant and consider its
replacement:


Discoloring of desiccant (e.g., oil residue, other contaminants): a brown or yellow
tinge indicates that the adsorbent capacity of the desiccant has been diminished


Frequent afterfilter replacement due to desiccant dust accumulation

MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005


Performance dew point rises.

Refer to paragraph 1.4 to determine the desiccant quantity required for each chamber of
your model of dryer.


Close dryer inlet/outlet isolation valves


Depressurize and switch DRYER OFF

Danger!

Wear protective equipment and clothing when handling desiccant

Understand the danger by studying the Material Safety Data Sheet
provided in Appendix A.


Remove the drain plug and empty the old desiccant into a container

Danger!

Desiccant may contain pollutants.

Desiccant is to be disposed of in accordance with National, State
and local regulation.


Reinstall the drain plug and fill with new desiccant from above in the amount
listed at paragraph 1.4


Perform an initial start-up as described in paragraph 3.3.

4.4 CHANGING THE PURGE REGENERATION ORIFICE


Depressurize the dryer and switch DRYER OFF


The regeneration orifice is integrated into pipe fittings that are threaded directly
into the top manifold


Unscrew the orifice fittings


Remove regeneration orifice and re-install new orifice as required


Verify that all pipe connections are properly secured.

NOTE: Consult Ingersoll-Rand for recommendations and/or replacement of the

purge regeneration orifice. Modification of the regeneration orifice can
lead to performance deterioration of the dryer.

2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
_____________________________________________________________________________

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Activated alumina adsorbs certain gases and liquids.

While the alumina itself is principally inert, the bead/powder may exhibit
properties of absorbed material. Dust is irritating to respiratory tract.
Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling. May cause staining,
metal fume fever, pulmonary fibrosis and pneumoconiosis. Can decompose at
high temperatures forming toxic gases. Contents may develop pressure on
prolonged exposure to heat.
_____________________________________________________________________________

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

The following health effects data pertains only to Activated Alumina.

Activated alumina adsorbs certain gases and liquids. While the alumina
itself is principally inert, the bead/powder may exhibit properties of
absorbed material. (3)

. Inhalation: Product may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat and

respiratory tract and may cause coughing and sneezing. Excessive contact
with powder may cause drying of mucous membranes of nose and throat due to
absorption of moisture and oils. May cause staining, metal fume fever,
pulmonary fibrosis and pneumoconiosis. See "Other Health Effects" Section.

. Skin Contact: This product may cause irritation due to abrasive action.
Excessive contact with powder may cause drying of the skin due to absorption
of moisture and oils. May cause defatting, drying and cracking of the skin.
May cause staining.

. Skin Absorption: Not likely to be absorbed through the skin.

. Eye Contact: This product may cause irritation, redness and possible
damage due to abrasiveness. Excessive contact with powder may cause drying
of mucous membranes of the eyes due to absorption of moisture and oils.

. Ingestion: This product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.

Ingestion of large amounts may cause intestinal obstruction.

Other Health Effects: Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be
delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict
adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.

May cause staining, metal fume fever, pulmonary fibrosis and

pneumoconiosis. Metal fume fever can be caused by inhalation of fumes formed
in the air from welding or heating the metal. Symptoms of metal fume fever
occur about 4 to 12 hours after exposure and usually last about 24 hours.
Recovery is complete with no apparent permanent disability. The symptoms
resemble the "flu" and include: sweating, shivering, headache, fever,
chills, thirstiness, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness and tiredness.
(4)

A metallic or sweet taste in the mouth, dryness or irritation of the

throat and coughing may occur at the time of exposure to the metal fumes.
(4)

APPENDIX A A2 MSDS
 USER MANUAL
MODEL NO.: TZ100–600-EMS
Z103144 Rev. 10 – 2 September 2005
Some workers develop a short-term immunity so that repeated exposure to
the fumes does not cause metal fume fever. This immunity is quickly lost
after short absences from work (weekends or vacations). (4) Pneumoconiosis
is the deposition of dust in the lungs and the tissue's reaction to its
presence. When exposure to the dust is severe or prolonged, the lungs'
defenses are overwhelmed.

A severe scarring of the lungs (fibrosis), referred to as Shaver's

disease, has been associated with production of corundum abrasives which
involved exposure to the fine airborne fumes of Aluminum Oxide and Silica.
This disease worsens even after exposure has stopped and has caused death in
serious cases. Exposure to Crystalline Silica or to the mixed dust is
believed to be responsible. Early symptoms of the disease include cough,
excessive mucous productions and shortness of breath upon exertion. Modern
exposure controls have almost removed the threat of this disease. (4)

Evidence of scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis) has been reported

among workers exposed to Aluminum Oxide dust or fume has, in some cases, been
attributed to Aluminum Oxide exposure. However, some of the reports were
individual cases, the exposure was usually mixed and other studies have
failed to show similar effects. (4)

Some changes in the lung function and chest X-rays have also been
observed in workers exposed to aluminum oxide. However, these changes have
been attributed to chronic bronchitis related to excessive dust exposure and
not specifically to Aluminum Oxide. (4)

Prolonged and repeated exposure to Aluminum may cause pulmonary fibrosis,

numbness of the fingers and encephalopathy (a degenerative disease of the
brain).

There may be a relationship between aluminum exposure and a brain disease

which causes early senility (Alzheimer's Disease) but, at present, this is
unproven and controversial. Asthma-like symptoms have been reported in
refining aluminum materials and fumes from aluminum soldering. (4)

Ingestion of large amounts of Aluminum salts over a prolonged period of

time may lead to phosphate deficiency, based on animal and human information.
Prolonged ingestion of vary large amounts (several grams/day) may result in
osteomalacia (softening and bending of the bones). (4)

Toxicological Data: None established for this product.

Aluminium Oxide Meaningful toxicological test data

could not be found for this substance.

Calcium Oxide Meaningful toxicological test data

could not be found for this substance.

Carcinogenicity Data: The ingredient(s) of this product is (are) not

classed as carcinogenic by ACGIH, IARC, OSHA or NTP. See "Other Studies
Relevant to Material".
Reproductive Data: No adverse reproductive effects are anticipated.
Mutagenicity Data: No adverse mutagenic effects are anticipated.
Teratogenicity Data: No adverse teratogenic effects are anticipated.
Respiratory / Skin Sensitization Data: None known.
Synergistic Materials: None known.

Other Studies Relevant to Material: In animal studies, another insoluble

Aluminum compound (Aluminum Hydroxide) was not embryotoxic or fetotoxic,
unless administered in the presence of citric acid, lactic acid or ascorbic
acid. In these cases, there was also maternal toxicity. Very high oral
exposure of rats to soluble Aluminum compounds has caused fetotoxicity, in
the absence of maternal toxicity. It is not known if Aluminum or its
insoluble compounds would have a similar effect. (4)

An insoluble Aluminum compound (Aluminum Hydroxide) produced no evidence

of embryo or fetotoxicity when administered orally to mice. However, when it
was administered with common dietary constituents, such as citric acid,
lactic acid and ascorbic acid, fetotoxicity was observed in the presence of
maternal toxicity. These studies indicate that Aluminum absorption may be
greatly enhanced by certain dietary constituents. Other reports have
indicated that very high oral doses of soluble Aluminum compounds during
lactation have caused fetotoxicity, in the absence of maternal toxicity. It
is not known if Aluminum or its insoluble compounds would have a similar
effect. (4)

Application of a compound containing 96.7 % atomized Aluminum caused

irritation to the eyes, but no corneal opacity and cleared up within seven
days. Slight inflamation and small lens opacity have been observed following
implantation of Aluminum particles into the eye. No irritation was observed

APPENDIX B – DRYER OPERATING SEQUENCE

The Ingersoll-Ra nd® TZ100-600-EMS heatless air dryers use a PCB as its standard
controller. In the event of a power failure, the inlet valves will open and the dryer will
pressurize both chambers. Since this control panel uses retentive programming, the
dryer will return to the step in the cycle where it was before power was removed.
NOTE: If power failure occurs to the dryer or unit is turned off, both exhaust
valves will close. Both inlet valves will remain open.

Set switch to DRYER ON. The electrical circuit is energized. Table B-1 presents the
dryer step sequence.

Correction Factor 1.1 1.1 1.0 0.83 0.69 0.565 0.455

To correct for an inlet temperature other than 100°F multiply dryer capacity by the
temperature correction factor listed above.

Example: To size for an inlet flow of 350 scfm at 105°F and 110 psig.


Select models that produce at least 350 scfm at 110 psig. This case would be the
TZ400, which can dry 438 scfm.


Multiply pressure corrected flow by the temperature correction factor to obtain the
flow of the dryer corrected for pressure and temperature:


438 X (0.83) = 363 scfm


Confirm model selection. Model TZ400 can flow 363 scfm at the inlet conditions
specified. The requirements of 350 scfm is less, so model TZ400 is correct.
