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

Example: To size for an inlet flow of 950 SCFM @ 105 F and 110 Psig.1. Select model that produce at least 950 SCFM at 110 Psig. This case would be the

TZE1000 which can dry 1140 SCFM.2. Multiply pressure corrected flow by the temperature correction factor to obtain the flow

of the dryer corrected for pressure and temperature:1140 X (0.85) = 969 SCFM

3. Confirm model selection. Model TZE 1000 can flow 969 SCFM at the inlet conditionsspecified. The requirements of 950 SCFM is less so model TZE1000 is correct.

SECTION 1

1.4.6 Transport

After the adsorption dryer has been delivered, it must be checked for damage thatmay have occurred during transport. If necessary, the Transport Company must beinformed to register the damage.

☛ Information

When making enquiries by phone or fax, please provide the followinginformation:

1) Equipment Serial Number2) Equipment Operating Pressure3) Equipment Operating Temperature4) Approximate time in service5) Nature of Problem

1.4.7 Storage

If the adsorption dryer is to be stored for a longer period of time, its place of storagemust be dry and free of dust. There has to be a min. ambient temp. of +1°C (33°F).

1.4.8 Use of a pre and after filter

In order to prevent droplets of condensate, oil and dirt from getting into thedesiccant, a pre-filter is installed in front of the adsorption dryer, since an oil film onthe desiccant reduces the drying capacity and the dewpoint. In order to preventbreakdowns in downstream consumers caused by material that has been abradedfrom the desiccant bed, an after-filter is mounted behind the adsorption dryer. Sinceno condensate accumulates in the after-filter, this filter is always equipped with amanual valve.Both filters are equipped with a differential pressure gauge (standard) as thisensures an indirect display of the degree of contamination of the filter elements.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.1 SET-UP AND INSTALLATION

Once at the installation location, the adsorption dryers of the series TZE400 –TZE3500, which are supplied with a base frame, must be positioned so that the sidefrom which it is to be operated is easily accessible. The piping is to be connectedto the adsorption dryer at a light slope. A shut-off valve is to be installed on the inletand outlet sides of the adsorption dryer. Also, a by-pass pipe with an additionalshut-off valve should be mounted onto the adsorption dryer, in order to be able toguarantee an uninterrupted supply of compressed air in case the adsorption dryerbreaks down. Should vibrations occur on the installation location, the adsorptiondryer is to be placed onto vibration dampers.Since the adsorption dryer has already been completely wired at our factory, thecustomer only has to connect the power supply cable to the terminal strip accordingto the supplied wiring diagrams.

☛ AdviceShould you still have questions regarding installation, you can requestinstallation blueprints separately from IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaanndd Davidson NC.

Warning!Use the appropriate, load-rated lifting equipmentand observe safe lifting procedures during alloperations of installation.The equipment should be unloaded as close aspossible to the installation site to minimize anychances of equipment damage.

2.1 SET-UP AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

2.1.1 Mechanical installation

• The equipment should be located in an area with adequate clearances forservice. An overhead clearance of not less than two feet above eachadsorber tower is required for loading of the desiccant.

• Remove all protective shipping crates, flange covers, etc.• Utilizing the mounting holes provided on the skid, anchor the IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaanndd

type TZE Dryer to a solid, level foundation designed to support theequipment.

• Do not hydrostatically test the pressure vessels. All TZE dryers pressurevessels and welded piping are hydrostatically tested at one and one-halftimes the design pressure after fabrication and before assembly.

• If the equipment is installed in a high traffic area, protective barriers may berequired to prevent possible damage.

• Because of vibration during shipping some tube fittings may have loosened. Therefore, inspect all connections for tightness.

• Ensure that the inlet and outlet connections to and from the IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaannddtype TZE Dryer are made using the correct rated fittings and piping to meetthe design conditions.

• System isolation and by-pass valves should be installed. If not supplied aspart of the equipment package by Ingersoll-Rand they should be suppliedand installed by others. It must be verified that these exist so that futureservicing of the Dryer System may take place.

• Full flow relief valves to protect the system from over-pressure must beprovided by others in accordance with local regulations.

• The purge exhaust on the TZE650 and smaller dryers is equipped with anexhaust muffler/silencer. If required, the silencer can be removed and purgeexhaust can be connected to a vent header. Follow recommendations forpipe sizing listed below.

• The purge exhaust connection on the TZE820 and larger dryers must beconnected to a vent header. To ensure satisfactory regeneration of thedesiccant chambers is achieved, the purge exhaust piping should be sizedas follows to prevent "back pressure" build up.

INSTALLED LENGTH OF EXHAUST PIPE PIPE SIZE REQUIREDUp to 10 Ft Same size as the dryer exhaustUp to 25 Ft One size larger than dryer exhaustUp to 50 Ft Two sizes larger than dryer exhaustUp to 100 Ft Three sizes larger than dryer exhaust

Models TZE400, TZE500, TZE 650 are shipped with filters mounted and piped tothe dryer. The following installation applies to all models that are shipped with filtersloose.

PREFILTER INSTALLATION• Mount prefilter in such a way as to allow clearance for the element installation

and removal.• Locate the prefilter as close to the dryer inlet connection as possible.• The filter must be piped so that the correct flow direction indicated on the

filter is followed.• Ensure that all piping and valves are equivalent or larger in size to the dryer

inlet connection.• Connect drain port to a condensate collector. Use an easily visible collector

to aid in operational inspection.

AFTERFILTER INSTALLATION• Mount afterfilter in such a way as to allow clearance for the element

installation and removal.• The filter must be piped so that the correct flow direction indicated on the

filter is followed.• Ensure that all piping and valves are equivalent or larger in size to the dryer

inlet connection.

2.1.3 Electrical installation• Connect the dryer to a correctly sized power supply. Refer to the dryer

nameplate or the electrical drawing for the supply voltage and amprequirement to properly size the electrical service amp rating. Only oneelectrical entrance is required. All internal wiring is done at the factory.

• A disconnect switch is not provided with the dryer and must be supplied byend user.

• Ground the frame of the dryer in accordance with the recognised electricalcodes.

• It is recommended that the common alarm relay, located in the dryer controlpanel, be connected to the control room or operator station so that animmediate response to the dryer trouble alarm may be given when required.

Attention!All pipes and wire connections are to be tightened!Furthermore, before start-up:− The pipes must be checked for the presence of scale,

abraded material from the threading, or other similarimpurities.

− All shut off valves on the pre-filter, adsorption dryer,after-filter and on the bypass line should be closed.

− The ambient temperature must not be less than 33°F.

Breakdowns resulting from faulty installation do not fall under IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaanndd'swarranty obligation.

3.1.1 Pressurizing dryer

• Prior to pressurizing the IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaanndd Type TZE Dryer system, verify thefollowing:- Dryer On – Off switch is in the off position.- System outlet block valve is closed.- Prefilter, afterfilter and pilot air filter vent valves are closed.- Desiccant chamber vent valve is closed.- Pilot air isolation valve is open.- Hygrometer adjustment/isolation valves are closed. (EMS option only)

• Slightly open the inlet isolation valve slowly admitting compressed air to thesystem. When full system operating pressure has been reached allconnections should be soap bubble tested for leaks. Any leaks should berepaired and retested prior to placing the equipment in service. If some gasother than the process air will be used for leak testing, consult Ingersoll-Randfor its compatibility with system components before proceeding. Fully openthe inlet isolation valve.

• When the system is filled with process air and leak tight and start-up iscompleted, then slowly open the system outlet valve to pressurize thedownstream piping. During the procedure, ensure that the dryer systempressure does not fall beyond 95% of its reading prior to opening the systemoutlet valve. This will protect the equipment internal components (i.e. filterelements, desiccant) from gas velocities above design conditions.

SECTION 3

3.1.1 Pressurizing dryer (Continued)

• When pressurizing is complete then fully open the system outlet valve toplace the equipment in service.

• Verify the system inlet pressure and temperature are at the design operatinglevels.

• Ensure that the pilot pressure regulator is set between 80 and 100 Psig.

3.1.2 Energizing dryer controls

• Turn ON-OFF switch to the ON position.

• A SIEMENS programmable controller with individual input/output modulescontrols the dryer cycle. A copy of the program complete with a full listing ofinputs, outputs, internal coils, timers counters is included later in this manual.This should be used as a reference guide to ensure dryer is cycling. Amanual mode is included in the dryer program to allow for fast cycling toverify to operation of the dryer.

It is recommended that the operational program of the dryer and thewiring schematic be studied before operating the dryer.

NOTE : If EMS option selected:The hygrometer will signal an open circuit, and humidity alarmlight will illuminate until probe cable is connected to hygrometerprobe.

• While dryer is in the purging mode for either chamber the purge pressuresetting should be checked. Refer to the specification sheet in this manual forthe correct purge pressure setting. Use the manual purge adjustment valveto adjust the purge setting.

Warning!Failure to correctly set the purge pressure can lead toimproper regeneration of the desiccant bed, resultingin a dewpoint failure when that chamber is returnedto service.

3.1.3 EMS Start up

The startup procedure for the EMS system will be as follows. Refer to the assemblydrawing in the following section.

The EMS hygrometer probe has been shipped inside of its own desiccant chamberto ensure that the probe does not become saturated with ambient air during storageand transport. Do not remove probe from the housing until dryer system has beenstarted and probe is to be inserted into the sample cell.

1. Verify that the humidity probe is installed into the sample cell2. Connect the coaxial cable to the humidity probe3. Fully open the inlet valve to the sample cell4. Partially open the discharge valve of the sample cell to bleed off a small amount

of sample air. Do not fully open discharge valve5. Perform a soap test to verify for leaks on all parts of the sample line connections

and the humidity sample cell.6. The digital display will now read the dewpoint of the dryer system. It will take a

short period of time for a humidity probe to be purged of humidity and give thecorrect dewpoint.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

☛ Advice In order to ensure continuous and trouble-free operation, amaintenance contract with IInnggeerrssoollll--RRaanndd is recommended.

4.1 SUGGESTED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

• Check prefilter automatic drain valve to ensure drain is working properly. Blowdown daily to remove accumulated fluids.

• Check filter differential pressures. A filter differential pressure of 5-8 PSIDindicates a dirty filter element and should be replaced. Filter elements shouldlast between 6 –12 months under normal use.

• Check correct purge pressure.• Ensure dryer is cycling without alarms.

Weekly

• Check all mufflers for backpressure. Replace if clogged or dirty.• Verify heater operation.

Every 3 Months

• Check operating conditions, purge rate, line pressure, inlet flow.• Check dryer operating cycle for proper operation of valve operators, solenoid

valves, dump valves, heaters, pressure switches and temperature controller.• Check the outlet dewpoint.• Blow down relief valves• Check heater outlet temperature is between 400 and 425°F.• Verify pressure switch operation.• Inspect pilot air filter element. If element seems clogged, dirty or damaged,

replace element.

Annually

• Disassemble, clean and inspect the inlet switching, purge exhaust anddepress. Replace all worn or damaged parts.

• Disassemble, clean and inspect the outlet and purge check valves. Replaceall worn or damage parts.

• Inspect the desiccant through the chamber fill port. Replace desiccant ifbroken or coated with oil.

• Replace prefilter, afterfilter and pilot air filter elements at least once a year.

SECTION 4

4.2 REPLACEMENT / DISPOSAL OF THE DESICCANT

In order to ensure trouble-free operation, we recommend replacing the desiccantevery 8000 Hours, or every 2 years on latest.

NOTE : Refer to the desiccant MSDS document in the annex of thismanual for instructions and precautions on handling anddisposing of desiccant.

The dryer is filled from the top and emptied from the bottom. Refer to the GeneralArrangement drawing for location of fill and drain ports.

• To drain the desiccant, remove the drain plug/cover and catch the olddesiccant in a suitable container. Replace the desiccant drain plug/cover.

• Remove the fill cap and refill the chamber with the specified desiccant. Referto the spare parts section for desiccant quantity. Do not tamp the desiccant.Replace the fill cap.

• Soap test both fill and drain ports for leaks before returning the dryer toservice.

NOTE: Desiccant chambers should never be completely filled. Fill to alevel approximately 3” below the upper circumference weld onthe desiccant vessel.

4.3 HYGROMETER MAINTENANCE (EMS Option only)

NOTE: Refer to the separate document on hygrometer maintenance andoperation located in the annex of this manual.

4.4 FILTERS

4.4.1 General comments and use

Filters of the series HE are suitable for filtering solids, oil and condensate out ofcompressed air and other neutral, compressed gases. This new filtration conceptis characterized by high flows at low differential pressure.

INSTALLATION, START-UP & MAINTENANCE MANUALMODEL NO.: TZE400 / TZE3500

REV 2 – April 25,.2001

Page 30

SECTION 4

4.4 FILTERS (Continued)

4.4.2 Function

The soiled medium flows through the filter element "Series HE" from the inside tothe outside. Solids are filtered out by impact or by the effect of inertia, whereas oilparticles and drops of humidity are filtered out by the effect of coalescence. By theforce of gravity, the filtered-out droplets collect in the lower filter vessel and aredrained automatically or manually.

4.4.3 Assembly and installation

☛ Advices

− Within the piping system, the filters should always be used where the air or gastemperature is lowest.

− The piping system must be cleaned before filters assembling.− The filters must always be installed vertically.− An arrow on the upper part of the housing marks the direction of the flow.− Sufficient free space should be left at the bottom for the changing of filter

elements.

4.4.4 Maintenance

☛ Advices

− The filter element should be replaced when a differential pressure of> 10 PSID has been reached, or on latest after 1 year of operation.

− The functioning of the automatic condensate drain is to be tested weekly bymanual operation.

− Should there be no condensate drain, then, depending on the amount, thecondensate on the pre-filter is to be removed several times a day by openingthe hand drain.

4.4 FILTERS (Continued)

4.4.5 Changing of filter elements

Danger! The soiled filter elements are changed only when thehousings are DEPRESSURIZED!

Filter elements are to be changed according to the following steps:

• Separate the lower part of the housing from the upper part.• Loosen and remove the element by hand.• Install the new element and the O-ring and making sure that the element seats

perfectly.• Re-install filter bowl assembly.• Elements of the “HE” or “DP” series can NOT be cleaned with compressed air.

4.4.6 Accessories

☛ Advices

Pressure differential gauge:Indicates the degree to which the elements are soiled.

Automatic condensate drain:Continuously draws off the condensate that has collected.

Hand drain:Used when there is little or no condensate.

SECTION 5 CALIBRATION

5.1 PURGE ADJUSTMENT

The dryers purge system includes an adjustment valve, purge orifice and a pressureindicating gauge (Panel mounted). This system has been factory set to the correctpressure for the dryer inlet conditions of 100F and 100 Psig.

This valve must be kept in the specified position when the dryer is operating or thedryer will not step ahead / regenerate.

SETTING PURGE FLOW

• Refer to the specification sheet for the correct purge pressure setting (PI-3).• Ensure dryer is at operating pressure.• Wait until dryer is in a regeneration mode (Heating or cooling).• Open or close purge adjustment valve until correct pressure is shown on the

purge pressure gauge. (PI-3 on flow schematic, located on gauge panel).

TESTING PURGE PRESSURE SWITCH AND ALARM SHUTDOWN.

Periodically verify this pressure and the low purge alarm (PS-3).

• Close the purge service valve.• Check that the heater contactor de-energize.• Check that the Dryer In Alarm light illuminates. • When test is complete, re-open the service valve and set pressure to correct

pressure following steps listed in Setting Purge Pressure section.• Reset the alarm.

5.2 PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

Pressure switch adjustment for externally heated dryers

On a TZE dryer there are five (5) pressure switches (PSH-1, PSL-1, PSH-2, PSL-2and PS-3).

The PSH pressure switches are set at 30 PSIG below the operating pressure of thedryer, while the PS-3 (purge pressure) is set at 10 PSIG below the purge adjustmentsetting and all use the normally open contact. When the adjustment is done, thecontact between "C" and "NO" should close when increasing to the desiredpressure.

The PSL switches are set at 10 PSIG regardless the operating pressure and use thenormally closed contact. When the adjustment is done, the contact between "C" and"NC" should close when decreasing to the desired pressure.

To increase the pressure, screw the knob toward the pressure switch diaphragm.To decrease the pressure, do the opposite.
