Introduction; Transport; Handling; Inspection - Parker DRD1200 Manual De Uso

English

Introduction

Th is manual refers to refrigeration dryers designed to guarantee high
quality in the treatment of compressed air.
2.1

Transport

Th e packed unit must:
• remain upright;
• be protected against atmospheric agents;
• be protected against impacts.
2.2

Handling

Use a fork-lift truck suitable for the weight to be lift ed, avoiding any type
of impact.
2.3

Inspection

• All the units are assembled, wired, charged with refrigerant and oil
and tested under standard operating conditions in the factory;
• on receiving the machine check its condition: immediately notify
the transport company in case of any damage;
• unpack the unit as close as possible to the place of installation.
2.4

Storage

If several units have to stacked, follow the notes given on the packing.
Keep the unit packed in a clean place protected from damp and bad
weather.

Installation

For the correct application of the warranty terms, follw the instructions
given in the start-up report, fi ll it and send it back to Seller.
3.1

Procedures

Install the dryer inside, in a clean area protected from direct atmospher-
ic agents (including sunlight).
In places with fi re hazard, provide for a suitable fi re-extinguishing sys-
tem.
Y
Comply with the instructions given in par. 8.2 and 8.3.
All dryers must be fi tted with adequate pre-fi ltration near the dryer air
inlet. Seller is excluded any obligation of compensation or refund for any
direct or indirect damage caused by its absence
Y
Pre-fi lter element (for 3 micron fi ltration or better) must be replaced
at least once a year, or sooner as per manufacturer recommendations.
Y
Correctly connect the dryer to the compressed air inlet/outlet con-
nections,
3.2

Operating space

Y
Leave adequate clearance around the dryer maintenance opera-
tions.
On the condenser side, leave at least 3.94 inches (10 cm) clearance to
ensure correct air fl ow.
3.3

Versions

Air-cooled version (Ac)
Do not create cooling air recirculation situations. Do not obstruct the
ventilation grilles.
Water-cooled version (Wc)
If not provided in the supply, fi t a mesh fi lter on the condensation water
inlet.
Y,
Inlet condensation water charateristics:
Temperature ≥ 50°F(10°C) CaCO
Pressure 43.5-145 PSIg
(3-10 barg)
PH 7.5 - 9

Please note that for special cooling water types such as demineralized,
deionized or distilled it is necessary to contact the manufacturer to ver-
ify which kind of condenser should be used since the standard material
may not be suitable.
3.4

Tips

To prevent damage to the internal parts of the dryer and air compres-
sor, avoid installations where the surrounding air contains solid and/or
gaseous pollutants (e.g. sulphur, ammonia, chlorine and installations in
marine environments).
Th e ducting of extracted air is not recommended for versions with axial
fans.
3.5

Electrical connection

Use approved cable in conformity with the local laws and regulations
(for minimum cable section, see par. 8.3). Use copper conductors only,
rated for a temèerature of a least 140°F(60°C).
Install a diff erential thermal magnetic circuit breaker with contact open-
ing distance 3 mm ahead of the system (IDn = 0.3A) (see the relevant
current local regulations).
Th e nominal current In of the magnetic circuit breaker must be equal to
the FLA with an intervention curve type D.
3.6

Condensate drain connection

Y
Make the connection to the draining system, avoiding connection
in a closed circuit shared by other pressurized discharge lines. Check the
correct fl ow of condensate discharges. Dispose of all the condensate in
conformity with current local environmental regulations.

Commissioning

70 - 150 ppm
4.1

Preliminary checks

3
Before commissioning the dryer, make sure:
O < 0.1 ppm
2
• installation was carried out according that given in the section 3;
• the air inlet valves are closed and that there is no air fl ow through
Fe < 0.2 ppm
the dryer;
• the power supply is correct.
NO < 2 ppm
3
• with Wc version, open the cooling water circuit a few minutes
before starting the dryer.
- 70 - 300 ppm
4.2

Starting

3
• Start the dryer before the air compressor;
H S < 0.05 ppm
2 • switch the power on by turning the MAIN SWITCH
CO < 5 ppm
the POWER LED (2) lights up turning yellow. Th e crankcase heater
2
will now start heating.
Al < 0.2 ppm
!
THE CRANKCASE HEATER MUST BE SWITCHED ON 12
HOURS BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER. Failure to comply with
this rule may cause serious damage to the compressor.
Once the crankcase is preheated, press the ON button on the control
panel
x
• press : the POWER LED (2) turns green and the compressor
switches on; the dew point is displayed.
Y
Fans(Ac version): if connected with the wrong phase sequence they
turn in the opposite direction, with the risk of being damaged (in this
case the air exits the dryer cabinet from the condenser grilles instead
from the fan grille - see par. 8.6 and 8.7 for correct air fl ow); immediately
invert two phases.
• Wait 5 minutes, then slowly open the air inlet valve;
• slowly open the air outlet valve: the dryer is now drying.
