1 General characteristics
The FX dryer is a chilling machine with direct expansion and dry evaporator. The air to be dried is sent to the heat exchanger in which the water vapour present is condensed: the condensate gathers in the separator and is discharged outside through a timed electro-valve.

2 Intended use
The FX dryer has been built to dry the compressed air for industrial use. The dryer cannot be used in premises where there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out which releases substances into the environment which are dangerous with regard to safety (for example: solvents, inflammable vapours, alcohol, etc.). In particular the appliance cannot be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with foodstuffs. These uses are allowed if the compressed air produced is filtered by means of a suitable filtering system. (Consult Atlas Copco for these special uses.) This appliance must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed. All other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable. The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.

3 Operation
The gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator (4) is sucked in by the refrigeration compressor (1) and it is pumped into the condenser (2). This one allows its condensation, eventually with the help of the fan (3); the condensed refrigerant passes through the dewatering filter (8) and it expands through the capillary tube (7) and goes back to the evaporator where it produces the refrigerating effect. Due to the heat exchange with the compressed air, which passes through the evaporator against the stream, the refrigerant evaporates and goes back to the compressor for a new cycle. The circuit is equipped with a bypass system for the refrigerant; this intervenes to adjust the available refrigerating capacity to the actual cooling load. This is achieved by injecting hot gas under the control of the valve (9): this valve keeps the pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator constant and therefore also the dew point never decreases below 0C in order to prevent the condensate from freezing inside the evaporator. The dryer runs completely automatically; it is calibrated in the factory for a dew point of 3C and therefore no further calibrations are required.

4 General safety standard

The appliance may be used only by specially trained and authorized personnel. Any tampering with the machine or alterations not approved beforehand by the Manufacturer relieve the latter of responsibility for any damage resulting from the above actions. The removal of or tampering with the safety devices constitutes a violation of the European Standards on safety. WARNING: ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWEVER SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONNEL.

A) This installation is suggested when the compressors run intermittently and the intermittent consumption, is equal to the flow rate of the compressor. Under this condition the load of the dryer is particularly constant. B) This type of installation is suggested when the air demand is variable and the instant values of the air consumption are much higher or lower than the flow rate of the compressors. The tank must be large enough to meet the max. requirements with the stored dry air. 3) Install Atlas Copco pre- and afterfilters. 4) Install the bypass line and the on-off valves so that the necessary maintenance may be carried out without interrupting the flow of compressed air to the final users. Check that the valve is perfectly closed so that non-treated air does not pass through it during the operation.
