In case of heavily polluted inlet air (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-.3 or worse quality), we recommend
the additional installation of a pre-filter (5 micron minimum) to prevent a clogging of the
heat exchanger.
Type A installation is suggested when the compressor operates at reduced intermittence and the total
consumption equals the compressor flow rate.
Type B installation is suggested when the air consumption can consistently change with peak values highly
exceeding the flow rate of the compressor. The capacity of the tank must be sized in order to compensate
eventual instantaneous demand conditions (peak air consumption).

Example: Example:
An ACT 500 has a nominal duty of 500 scfm The procedure here is to list the operating
(849 m 3 /h). What is the maximum allowable flow conditions and then to locate the corresponding
through the dryer under the following operating numerical factors:
conditions:
− Design air flow = 300 scfm (509 m3/h)
− Inlet air pressure = 120 psig (8 barg)
− Inlet air pressure = 120 psig (8 barg)
− Ambient temperature = 105°F (40°C)
− Ambient temperature = 105°F (40°C)
− Inlet air temperature = 105°F (40°C)
− Inlet air temperature = 105°F (40°C)
− Pressure DewPoint = 38°F (3°C)
− Pressure DewPoint = 38°F (3°C)
Each item of data has a corresponding numerical In order to select the correct dryer model the
factor as follows: required flow rate is to be divided by the correction
factors relating to above mentioned parameters:
Minimum
Air flow
capacity = 500 x 1.07 x 0.89 x 0.85 x 1.00 = 300 ÷ 1.07 ÷ 0.89 ÷ 0.85 ÷ 1.00

2.6 CONNECTION TO THE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM

Operations to be performed by qualified personnel only.
Never work on compressed air system under pressure.
The user is responsible to ensure that the dryer will never be operated with pressure exceeding
the maximum pressure rating on the unit data tag.
Over-pressurizing the dryer could be dangerous for both the operator and the unit.
The air temperature and the flow entering the dryer must comply within the limits stated on the data
nameplate. The system connecting piping must be kept free from dust, rust, chips and other impurities, and
must be consistent with the flow-rate of the dryer. In case of treatment of air at particularly high
temperature, the installation of a Aftercooler could result necessary. In order to perform maintenance
operations, it recommended that a dryer by-pass system be installed as shown in the following illustration.

In realising the dryer, particular measures have been taken in order to limit the vibration which could occur
during the operation. Therefore we recommend to use connecting pipes able to insulate the dryer from
possible vibrations originating from the line (flexible hoses, vibration damping fittings, etc.).
CAUTION:
PIPING THE DRYER, INLET/OUTLET CONNECTIONS MUST BE SUPPORTED AS
SHOW IN THE DIAGRAM.
FAILING WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE
2.7 CONNECTION TO THE COOLING WATER NETWORK (Water-Cooled)

Operations to be performed by qualified personnel.
Never operate with plants under pressure.
The user is responsible to ensure that the dryer will never be operated with pressure exceeding
the nominal values.
Eventual over-pressure could be dangerous both for the operator and the machine.
The temperature and the amount of cooling water must comply with the limits indicated on the technical
characteristics chart. The cross section of the connection pipes, preferably flexible, must be free from rust,
chips and other impurities. We recommend to use connecting pipes able to insulate the dryer from possible

2.8 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Qualified personnel should carry out connecting unit to the main power. Be sure to check the local
codes in your area.
Before connecting the unit to the electrical supply, verify the data nameplate for the proper electrical
information. Voltage tolerance is +/- 5%.
Dryers are supplied with a junction box.
Be sure to provide the proper fuses or breakers based on the data information located on the nameplate.
The mains socket must be provided with a mains magneto-thermal differential breaker (I∆n=0.03A),
adjusted on the basis of the consumption of the dryer (see the nominal values on the data plate of the
dryer). The cross section of the power supply cables must comply with the consumption of the dryer, while
keeping into account also the ambient temperature, the conditions of the mains installation, the length of the
cables, and the requirements enforced by the local Power Provider.
Connect to a properly grounded outlet. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Do not use adapters on the main socket- if it does
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2.9 CONDENSATE DRAIN

The condensate is discharge at the system pressure.
Drain line should be secured.
Never point the condensate drain line towards anybody.
The dryer comes already fitted with an electronically level controlled BEKOMAT condensate drain.
Connect and properly fasten the condensate drain to a collecting plant or container.
The drain cannot be connected to pressurized systems.
Don’t dispose the condensate in the environment.

The condensate collected in the dryer contains oil particles released in the air by the compressor.
Dispose the condensate in compliance with the local rules.
We suggest to install a water-oil separator where to convey all the condensate drain coming from
compressors, dryers, tanks, filters, etc. We recommend ÖWAMAT oil-water separators for
disperse compressor condensate, BEKOSPLIT emulsion splitters for emulsified condensate.

5.2 OPERATION
Operating principal - The dryer models described in this manual operate all on the same principal. The hot moisture
laden air enters an air to air heat exchanger. The air then goes through the evaporator, also known as the air to
refrigerant heat exchanger. The temperature of the air is reduced to approximately 36°F (2°C), causing water vapor
to condense to liquid. The liquid is continuously coalesced and collected in the separator for removal by the
condensate drain. The cool moisture free air then passes back through the air to air heat exchanger to be reheated to
within 8 degrees of the incoming air temperature as it exits the dryer.
Refrigerant circuit - Refrigerant gas is cycled through the compressor and exits at high pressure to a condenser
where heat is removed causing the refrigerant to condense to a high-pressure liquid state. The liquid is forced
through a capillary tube where the resulting pressure drop allows the refrigerant to boil off at a predetermined
temperature. Low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the heat exchanger where heat from the incoming air is
transferred causing the refrigerant to boil; the resulting phase change produces a low pressure, low temperature gas.
The low-pressure gas is returned to the compressor, where it is re-compressed and begins the cycle again. During
those periods when the compressed air load is reduced the excess refrigerant is by-passed automatically back to the
compressor via the Hot Gas By-pass Valve circuit.

5.5 COMPRESSOR
The refrigeration compressor is the pump in the system, gas coming from the evaporator (low pressure side) is
compressed up to the condensation pressure (high pressure side). The compressors utilized are manufactured
by leading manufacturers and are designed for applications where high compression ratios and wide temperature
changes are present.
The hermetically sealed construction is perfectly gas tight, ensuring high-energy efficiency and long, useful life.
Dumping springs support the pumping unit in order to reduce the acoustic emission and the vibration diffusion.
The aspirated refrigeration gas, flowing through the coils before reaching the compression cylinders cools the
electric motor. The thermal protection protects the compressor from over heating and over currents. The
protection is automatically restored as soon as the nominal temperature conditions are reached.
5.6 CONDENSER (Air-Cooled)

The condenser is the component in which the gas coming from the compressor is cooled down and
condensed becoming a liquid. Mechanically, a serpentine copper tubing circuit (with the gas flowing inside)
is encapsulated in an aluminum fin package.
The cooling operation occurs via a high efficiency fan, creating airflow within the dryer, moving air through
the fin package. It’s mandatory that the ambient air temperature does not exceed the nominal values. It is
also important TO KEEP THE CONDENSER UNIT FREE FROM DUST AND OTHER IMPURITIES
5.7 CONDENSER (Water-Cooled)

The condenser is the component in which the gas coming from the compressor is cooled down and condensed
becoming a liquid. Basically it is a water/refrigerating gas exchanger where the cooling water lowers the temperature
of the refrigerating gas.
The temperature of the inlet water must not exceed the nominal values. It must also guarantee an adequate flow
and THAT THE WATER ENTERING THE EXCHANGER IS FREE FROM DUST AND OTHER IMPURITIES.
5.8 CONDENSER WATER REGULATING VALVE (Water-Cooled)

The condenser water regulating valve is used to keep the condensing pressure/temperature constant when the
Water-Cooled is being used. Thanks to the capillary tube, the valve detects the pressure in the condenser and
consequently adjusts the water flow. When the dryer stops the valve automatically closes the cooling water flow.
The condenser water regulating valve is an operating control device.
The closure of the water circuit from the pressure condenser water regulating valve cannot be used
as a safety closure during service operations on the system.
ADJUSTMENT
The condenser water regulating valve is adjusted during the testing phase to a pre-set value that
covers 90% of the applications. However, sometimes the extreme operating conditions of the dryer
may require a more accurate calibration.
During start-up, a qualified technician should check the condensing pressure/temperature and if
necessary adjust the valve by using the screws on the valve itself.
To increase the condensing temperature, turn the adjusting screws counter-clockwise; to lower it turn
the screws clock-wise. Adjust the valve in order to guarantee a condensing temperature of 108-113 °F
(42-45 °C).

5.9 FILTER DRIER

Traces of humidity and slag can accumulate inside the refrigerating circuit. Long periods of use can also
produce sludge. This can limit the lubrication efficiency of the compressor and clog the expansion valve or
capillary tube. The function of the Filter Drier, located before the capillary tubing, is to eliminate any
impurities from circulating through the system.
5.10 CAPILLARY TUBE

It consists of a piece of reduced cross section copper tubing located between the condenser and the
evaporator, acting as a metering device to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant. Reduction of pressure is a
design function to achieve optimum temperature reached within the evaporator: the smaller the capillary
tube outlet pressure, the lower the evaporation temperature.
The length and interior diameter of the capillary tubing is accurately sized to establish the performance of
the dryer; no maintenance or adjustment is necessary.
5.11 ALU-DRY MODULE

The heat exchanger module houses the air-to-air, the air-to-refrigerant heat exchangers and the demister
type condensate separator. The counter flow of compressed air in the air-to-air heat exchanger ensures
maximum heat transfer. The generous cross section of flow channel within the heat exchanger module
leads to low velocities and reduced power requirements. The generous dimensions of the air-to-refrigerant
heat exchanger plus the counter flow gas flow allows full and complete evaporation of the refrigerant
(preventing liquid return to the compressor). The high efficiency condensate separator is located within the
heat exchanger module. No maintenance is required and the coalescing effect results in a high degree of
moisture separation.
5.12 HOT GAS BY-PASS VALVE

This valve injects part of the hot gas (taken from the discharge side of the compressor) in the pipe between
the evaporator and the suction side of the compressor, keeping the evaporation temperature/pressure
constant at approx. 36°F (+2 °C). This injection prevents the formation of ice inside the dryer evaporator at
every load condition.
ADJUSTMENT ACT 200-1250

The Hot Gas By-pass Valve is adjusted during the manufacturing
testing phase. As a rule no adjustment is required; anyway if it is
necessary the operation must be carried out by an experienced A
refrigeration engineer.
WARNING : the use of ¼” Schrader service valves must be
justified by a real malfunction of the refrigeration system. 4 mm

PB : Low-pressure controller device on the pushing side (carter) of the compressor, is enabled only if the pressure
drops below the pre-set value. The values are automatically reset when the nominal conditions are restored.
Calibrated pressure : R 404 A Stop 14.5 psig - Restart 72.5 psig
R 404 A Stop 1.0 barg - Restart 5.0 barg
PA : This high-pressure controller device, located on the pushing side on the compressor, is activated when the
pressure exceeds the pre-set value. It features a manual-resetting button mounted on the controller itself.
Calibrated pressure : R 404 A Stop 464 psig - Manual reset
R 404 A Stop 32 barg - Manual reset
PV : ACT 200-1250 Fan control pressure switch is placed at the discharge side of refrigeration compressor.
It keeps the condensation temperature/pressure constant within preset limits (Air-Cooled).
Calibrated pressure : R 404 A Start 290 psig (113°F) - Stop 232 psig (97°F) - Tolerance ± 15 psi
R 404 A Start 20 barg (45°C) - Stop 16 barg (36°C) - Tolerance ± 1 bar
PV1 : ACT 1500-2500 Fan control pressure switch is placed at the discharge side of refrigeration
compressor. It keeps the condensation temperature/pressure constant within preset limits (Air-Cooled)
– Low Speed.
Calibrated pressure : R 404 A Start 305 psig (117°F) - Stop 261 psig (104°F) - Tolerance ± 14.5 psi
R 404 A Start 21 barg (47°C) - Stop 18 barg (40°C) - Tolerance ± 1 bar
PV2 : ACT 1500-2500 Fan control pressure switch is placed at the discharge side of refrigeration
compressor. It keeps the condensation temperature/pressure constant within preset limits (Air-Cooled)

5.14 SAFETY THERMO-SWITCH TS

To protect the operating safety and the integrity of the dryer, a thermo-
switch (TS) is installed on the refrigerant gas circuit. The thermo-switch
2
sensor, in case of unusual discharge temperatures, stops the refrigerating
compressor before it is permanently damaged.
1
TS : Manually reset the thermo-switch only after the nominal operating
conditions have been restored. Unscrew the relative cap (see pos.1
in the figure) and press the reset button (see pos.2 in the figure).
PQS0005
5.15 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER (ACT 600-2500)

At low temperatures oil can more easily be mixed with the refrigerant gas. So, when the compressor starts,
oil can be drawn into the refrigeration circuit and liquid hammering could occur.
To prevent this, an electrical resistance heater is installed in the suction side of the compressor. When the
system is powered and the compressor is not running, this heater keeps the oil at the correct temperature.
This heater is controlled by a thermo-switch which prevents overheating the oil.
NOTE : The heater must be powered at least a couple of hours before the start up of the refrigeration
compressor.

Through the digital thermometer with an alphanumerical display, the DMC14 controller shows the DewPoint
detected by the probe in the evaporator.
The LED shows any alarm condition, it can happen when :

- pressure DewPoint is too high;
- pressure DewPoint is too low;
- the probe is faulty.
If the probe is faulty, the instrument also shows “PF” message (Probe Failure), and alarm activation is immediate. In
case of “DewPoint too low” condition (ASL parameter, that is fix and equal to 28.5°F or -2°C), the alarm signal is
delayed of a fix time (AdL parameter) equal to 30 sec, while for “DewPoint too high” condition the value (ASH
parameter) is set by the user and the signal is activated with AdH delay time, that can be also set up by the operator
(the instrument is already adjusted during final test of the dryer, please see following values). When DewPoint
returns into operating temperature (set range), the alarm condition is deactivated.
DMC14 allows also remote annunciation of the alarm condition of the dryer; this through a volt free contact on
terminals 8 & 9 - please also see electric drawings into the attachments (max 250V 1A, min 5VDC 10mA)
- with dryer off or in alarm conditions contact is open
- with dryer on and correct operating DewPoint, contact is closed.
OPERATION - After dryer starting, the electronic controller displays current operating DewPoint : it shows
the measured temperature in Celsius degrees (● °C) with a 0.5°C resolution, or in Fahrenheit degrees (●
°F) with a 1°F resolution.

STORING ALARMS IN MEMORY
When the “Automatic Start-Up” and “Reset ! Autom.” functions are deactivated (customer selected
setting “no”), any alarm causing the dryer to stop and any anomaly with one or more probes (Probe Fault) is
stored in the memory of DMC20. To reset the alarm memory the dryer is to be switched OFF (keep the
button [15] "Dryer Stop" pressed for at least 2 seconds). The dryer is then to be switched ON again (keep
the button [14] "Dryer Start-up" pressed for at least 2 seconds); If the alarm is no longer in effect the dryer
will run correctly, otherwise the alarm message will appear again.
When the “Automatic Start-Up” and “Reset ! Autom.” functions are activated (customer selected setting
“yes”) any alarm which has caused the stop of the dryer and any anomaly with one or more probes (Probe
Fault) is automatically reset once nominal conditions return and the dryer will run again automatically.
Any alarm, which is not causing the stop of the dryer, is reset automatically when nominal working
conditions return.
5.17.3 SET-UP
The DMC20 is adjusted during the final test of the dryer. Where particular requirements concerning the
operation or the alarm management exist, the user can change the setting of the programmed parameters.
Set-up parameters are divided into two levels: anybody can access the level 1, while access to level 2 is
reserved to authorised personnel provided with the password.
To access to Set-up mode the [11] "Set-up access" button must be depressed for at least 2 seconds. Then
it will be possible to display the desired parameter using the [12] and [13] keys. To modify the displayed
parameter, use the [12] and [13] keys, while keeping the [11] key depressed.
During Set-up, the upper line of the display will display the selected parameter, while the lower line will show
the current value of the same parameter.
To exit Set-up mode, press simultaneously the [12] and [13] keys, or wait 20 seconds.
NOTE : The character “!” means “Alarm”

A maximum of 255 DMC20 units can be connected to the same network.
If a PC is used, the connection between the PC and the DMC20 network requires usage of an SBC485
interface adaptor (can be purchased as accessory - see spare parts list) to convert the RS232 (PC) signal
into an RS485 (DMS20) signal. The RS485 line is made of a two wire cable and can be up to max. 2000
meters long; for long distance (exceeding 100m), it is advisable to use a shielded twisted pair polyethylene
cable.
For good data transmission, it is imperative that at the cable end of the RS485 line a 120 ohm ¼ watt
resistor is placed, as shown in figure.

5.18 ELECTRONIC LEVEL CONTROLLED CONDENSATE DRAIN BEKOMAT 31

The electronic level controlled drain BEKOMAT has a special condensate management that makes sure
that condensate is drained safely without any unnecessary air-loss. This drain consists of a condensate
accumulator where a capacitive sensor continuously checking liquid level is placed: as soon as the
accumulator is filled, the sensor passes a signal to the electronic control and a diaphragm solenoid valve
will open to discharge the condensate. Right in time the discharge line will be closed again without wasting
compressed air.
ATTENTION! These BEKOMAT condensate drains have been specially designed for the use in a refrigerant
dryer ACT. Any Installation in other compressed air treatment units or the exchange against a different drain
brand may lead to malfunction. Do not exceed the max. operating pressure (see type plate)!

compressed air.
ATTENTION! These BEKOMAT condensate drains have been specially designed for the use in a refrigerant
dryer ACT. Any Installation in other compressed air treatment units or the exchange against a different drain
brand may lead to malfunction. Do not exceed the max. operating pressure (see type plate)!

Malfunction/Alarm
Test : button - discharge test (keep pushed for 2 seconds)
The BEKOMAT Vario 13 also has an alarm mode function:

If normal conditions have not been restored after 1 minute, a fault signal will be triggered:
• Alarm LED flashes.
• Alarm signal switches over (can be transmitted via potential-free contact).
• Valve opens every 4 minutes for a period of 7.5 seconds.
Once the fault is cleared, the BEKOMAT will automatically switch back to the normal mode of operation.

MEMBRANE FUNCTION OF BEKOMAT VARIO 13 ACT 2500
The condensate flows via the inlet (1) into the BEKOMAT Vario.
The diaphragm valve is closed, since the pilot supply line (2) and
the solenoid valve (3) ensure pressure compensation above the
valve diaphragm (4).
The larger space above the diaphragm results in a high closing
force, so that the valve seat is absolutely leakproof.
As soon as the condensate has reached a level where it is

registered by the sensor (5), a fixed-programmed waiting
time will begin.
During this time, condensate still continues to flow into the
BEKOMAT Vario and also collects in the inflow area (6)
above the BEKOMAT Vario.
A the end of the waiting time, the solenoid valve is activated

and the area above the valve diaphragm is vented. The
valve diaphragm lifts off the valve seat (7), and the pressure
in the housing forces the condensate into the discharge pipe
(8).
The total condensate quantity is then discharged from the
BEKOMAT Vario unit.
When the sensor is ”clear” again, i.e. when all the

condensate has been discharged, the solenoid valve will be
re-energized and the pressure building up above the valve
diaphragm will keep the valve seat firmly closed.
