AIRTEK CT165 CT-165 DUAL MODE CYCLING DIGITAL AIR DRYER
THIS IS ANOTHER NICE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OUT OF BESTOP, INC IN DENVER. GUARANTEED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
THIS IS A DUAL MODE CYCLING AIR DRYER WITH SMART CONTROL AND COLD TRAP. I HAVE PUT A BLURB I FOUND ONLINE ABOUT THE CT SERIES DRYERS.
AIRTEK's award winning Smart Cycle and Cold Trap refrigerated air dryers are Dual Mode dryers. That is, they can operate in either a full "Cycling" (on/off) mode or in "Non-Cycling" demand control mode. They deliver compressed air 2 to 4 times dryer than conventional dryers and use as little as half as much energy. For energy savings, the dryers are equipped with standard "Dual Mode Demand Control". The standard control panel includes a Digital Dew Point Readout that displays actual dew point temperature, a Diagnostic Display Panel with a Digital Code Readout and protective shutdowns with common alarm and a dry contact for; high dew point, low refrigerant and refrigeration system interruption. The standard control panel also includes an Electronic Drain control and Mode selector. Available options include: dual hour meters, a PLC interface and a remote control panel.
The dryers are available in two configurations. The SC or standard Smart Cycle package uses a high efficiency mechanical separator for liquid collection whereas the CT or Cold Trap configuration employs a two stage, combination, Moisture Separator/Cold Coalescer, to deliver Oil Free Compressed Air.
AIRTEK Smart Cycle and Cold Trap refrigerated air dryers can operate in either of two energy saving modes; "Cycling" or "Non-Cycling" with demand control.
Thermal Bank (stop/start) Mode for Full "Cycling" Operation
The full cycling "Thermal Bank" (stop/start) mode is usually selected for operation when less than full load is expected from the air compressor (i.e. third shift, weekends, etc..). When operating in the "Thermal Bank" cycling mode the refrigeration compressor turns "ON or OFF" in response to the temperature of the compressed air exiting the main heat exchanger. When the temperature of the compressed air falls to the low set point, the Smart Cycle controller starts the "OFF" cycle sequence. The sequence generates a "Thermal Bank" of cold storage in the main heat exchanger. "Thermal Banking" prevents frequent cycling and reduces the dew point spikes inherent to mass only types of cycling dryers. When the compressed air temperature rises to the controllers upper set point, the refrigeration compressor turns back "ON".
