AIR DRYERS- Low Carbon Technology
August 12th 2011 Hi-line Industries innovative range of air treatment products offer the customer the lowest possible running costs available. Whether is filters or dryers all Hi-line products are designed and built with energy consumption at the forefont. If you are offering a solution to air treatment then all types of drying should be considered for the most energy efficient solution to the application.
Hi-line offer "application specific " dryers dependant on customers requirements,these include membrane dryers, HPD (point –of-use dryers) Hi-zorbs, Heatless Pressure Swing (PSA), Refrigerant and Zero Loss Adsorption. All of which include the High effieciency filtration which accompanies all Hi-line dryer products.
CDA Refrigerant Air Dryers.
The latest range of energy efficient refrigerant air dryers using R410A Freon, the CDA range (Clean Dry Air) are claimed to be the best value for money against comparable units in the UK. The range of 17 models from 15 to 980cfm are available ex stock from the Midlands factory,with larger models upto 9680cfm built to order.All products offer performance in accordance with ISO7183.The dewpoint is real time and is displayed with pressure on the manometer. Operating pressures from 2 to 16bar can be accommodated,with a maximum air inlet temperature of 55C. The standard ambient temperature range is 0C to 43C, with a special high ambient model available for the export market.All ex stock dryers are 240V single phase 50-60Hz power supply.
Connections range from 1/2" BSP to 8" flanged outlet over the range. All these high quality dryers ,which are available in a standard finish of compressed air blue (RAL5015), are fitted with zero loss autodrains and ball valve strainers for ultimate protection.High pressure and thermal mass dryers are also available to order, with nationwide back-up and service support by our own engineers also available for the full range of Hi-line products.
Zero Loss Dryers now even more Smarter and More Efficient
The range of successful smart adsorption air dryers launched by Hi-line Industries Ltd have been even further enhanced by the addition of touch-screen technology incorporated into their automatic energy management system (AEMS). This cutting edge facility enables remote dial-in control via mobile phone or laptop, while even lower running costs are achieved by using a blower/fan, rather than the more expensively produced compressed air, for desiccant regeneration.
The AEMS controller features a zero loss heater blower programme and undertakes constant monitoring and analysis of the dryer load parameters, while making necessary adjustments to the dryer cycle to ensure continuous maximum efficiency. This maintains the lowest possible running costs coupled with regeneration at the lowest energy tariff which also ensuring that the compressed air inlet conditions are matched to the dewpoint required.
This advanced controller comes as a factory-fitted attachment with the new range of Hi-line HBP-TS series dryers, but can also be supplied for retro-fitting to any make of existing dumb dryer, to upgrade such units to the level of the latest smart dryers.
These products achieve dewpoints of -70° PDP without loss of expensive compressed air and are available with flow rates from 10 up to 10,000 scfm. They feature thermally efficient, generous, fully insulated vessels, with heaters and heatexchangers.
Waste heat utilisation from steam, oil or compression can be optionally used where available, with a fan motor also optimised for maximum use with minimum power consumption. Stainless steel pipe work is fitted as standard with independent fail-safe switching valves and full-flow LPD check valves incorporated. Pressure equalisation and heater protection systems are also provided, eliminating pressure fluctuations and maintaining safety standards.
The state-of-the-art control panel with AEMS provides a touch-screen user interface with indicator panel where digital dewpoint, pressure, heater and electrical displays, together with the cycle stepping time are shown on screen. Regeneration temperatures are controlled from the PLC with cycle times matched to demand and triggered by the dewpoint control setting.
The equipment is manufactured on site in the UK to the highest British/European standards covering pressure vessels and pipe work welding, together with EEC machinery directive and current wiring regulations.
Dryers are designed to occupy the smallest footprint, so not wasting valuable production space, with bespoke dryers also supplied to suit specific customer requirements. More articles from Hi-Line Industries Ltd: |
