Item # DPB1050, DPB Series - Global Air Treatment Dryers (500 – 4300 scfm)


The DPB Series process design offers the end user the opportunities to significantly reduce the energy costs associated with achieving a reliable -40°F (-40°C) pressure dew point. This is achieved by eliminating or reducing purge air requirements (compressed air utilized to regenerate desiccant beds) typical of other desiccant dryer designs.

Inlet Flow capacities have been established at an inlet pressure of 100 psig (7 kgf/cm2), and a saturated inlet temperature at 100°F (38°C). To determine maximum inlet flow at other conditions, multiply the inlet flow from the Specifications Table by the multiplier from Table 1 that corresponds to your operating conditions.

Dew Point: Outlet pressure dew point at rated inlet conditions of 100 psig (7 kgf/cm2) and 100°F (38°C) and 70°F (21°C) atmospheric dew point is -40°F (-40°C). Dew point varies slightly at other conditions. Consult factory to determine exact outlet pressure dew point at your operating conditions.

Outlet Temperature at normal rated conditions (after temperature spike) is 127°F (53°C). Outlet temperature varies depending on inlet temperature and pressure.
Consult factory to determine exact outlet temperature at your operating conditions.

Available voltages: 460V/3ph/60Hz, NEMA 4 enclosure

Features 
1. Reliable and Durable Air Flow Control Components
  • High quality inlet and purge valves feature air operated butterfly valves which offer high cycle life, resilient elastomeric seats for leak free service, low profile nickel plated disks offer low pressure drop, stem bushings ensure smooth operation, and no field lubrication required.
  • Durable pneumatic actuators are isolated from the air stream and can’t be contaminated by incoming moisture. The inlet valves are double acting rack and pinion and use air power to both open and close. A spring return holds the purge valves closed prior to start-up and upon loss of pressure protects the desiccant bed from outside contamination. Dual pistons offer a large control area, high torque, and a rapid response. Position indicator shows if valve is open or closed. Valves may also be operated manually.
  • Pilot air is filtered by a 1 micron particulate filter to ensure dependable actuation. An isolation valve allows for easy filter element service. Non-lubricated pilot valves with hermetically sealed coils and ISO 5211/Namur interface are standard.
  • Check valves are soft seated for sure closures and minimal wear. Check valves are spring loaded to prevent back flow leakage when the downstream (closing) pressure is low.
  • Separate depressurization valves allow slow depressurization of the off-stream tower. Mufflers keep noise below OSHA requirements.
  • Repressurization valve allows tower to be fully repressurized before switchover which eliminates bed movement and loss of pressure downstream.

    2. Durable and Eficient Blower
  • High quality blowers
  • Intake filter protects blower and desiccant beds from contamination
  • Mounting pads and flexible air connections are used to eliminate vibration

    3. Heater Design for Long Life
  • Low watt density (23 W/in2) elements with Incoloy sheaths
  • Temperature is controlled by an adjustable, digital indicating controller with thermocouple input which minimizes temperature swings
  • Protection against overheating and element burnout provided by hi-limit provisions on controller plus an overtemperature thermocouple
  • Over current protector with manual reset is provided

    4. Insulation Reduces Heater Size
  • Fully insulated heater vessel and upper purge piping standard
  • Minimizes heat losses which reduces heater size
  • Protects plant personnel from hot surfaces
  • Durable melamine foam and fiberglass protected by jacket of polyester fabric impregnated with PVC

    5. Large Desiccant Beds Ensure Consistent Dew Points
  • 30% extra desiccant provided to compensate for natural bed aging over the expected 3 to 5 years bed life
  • 7.2 seconds of contact time for saturated air with the desiccant.
  • High grade of activated alumina has high crush strength and is resistant to abrasion

    6. Quality Tower Design
  • Cleanable, stainless steel air flow diffusers on inlet and outlet ensure even flow distribution and eliminate channeling through the bed
  • Separate fill and drain ports
  • ASME code constructed and stamped pressure vessels standard.
  • Pressure relief valves on all models
  • Finished with heat resistant enamel

    Process Designs

    Standard Air Drying and Filtering Process
  • Compressed air is prefiltered prior to the desiccant dryer by a 1 micron solid particle particulate filter and then by a oil removal filter [to 0.008 ppm (0.01 mg/m3)].
  • The wet, compressed air now enters the bottom of Tower 2 of the two dual towers filled with a bed of activated alumina desiccant through the inlet switching valve A. Inlet switching valve B is closed. Inlet valves A and B are butterfly valves with double acting actuators.
  • The activated alumina adsorbs the moisture in the compressed air as the air flows upward through Tower 2. Upflow drying protects the bed from water and heavy contaminants by separating them from the air stream as they enter the tower. Cleanable, stainless steel, flow diffusers on the inlet and outlet of the tower ensure even flow distribution through the bed-which avoids channeling.
  • The dry air exits the dryer through outlet check valve F. A FHT Series High Temperature afterfilter filters desiccant dust particles to 1 micron in size at the dryer outlet.
