PRODUCT INFORMATION
The adsorption dryer is used for the purpose of drying compressed air and other
gases according to its respective design. As a "standard model" the adsorption dryer
is equipped with two desiccant vessels and, depending on certain conditions,
provides pure, dry and oil-free compressed air or gases.
1.4.1 Theory of Operation

The HC heat-of-compression dryer uses the hot air from the compressor to
regenerate the desiccant. Each tower is sized for a minimum of 4 hours online,
but may be extended by use of the optional DPDS which will allow the dryer to
switch towers based on water load rather than time.
The DPDS (Dewpoint Demand System) is optional equipment and may or may
not be present on your particular air dryer. If your dryer is equipped with the
DPDS, see the associated DPDS Installation and Operating Guide for more
operational details.
The regeneration cycle is split up into three functions.
Page 9
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
A. Regeneration Cycles
1. Heating. Hot air directly from the compressor enters the inlet of the HC
and is directed by the inlet 2-way valves into the regenerating tower. This
hot, thirsty air regenerates the bulk of the water from the desiccant. The
air is then directed into the aftercooler where it is cooled, the coalescing
separator where liquid water is removed through the drain trap system,
then into the drying tower where the air is actually dried to its final low
dewpoint. The heating cycle lasts 90 minutes.
Page 10
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
2. Stripping. At the end of heating, the inlet valves shift position, directing
the hot inlet air directly into the aftercooler, separator, and drying tower.
We now begin stripping. The stripping phase of regeneration lasts 90
minutes. At the beginning of stripping, the regenerating tower is
depressurized through a muffler. During stripping, a small adjustable flow
of dry air is used to remove the last little bit of moisture from the
regenerating tower.
Page 11
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
3. Cooling. At the end of stripping, the regenerating tower is repressurized.
The cooling cycle valves open and cooling begins. The cooling cycle lasts
60 minutes. During cooling, a portion of the dry outlet air is directed into
the regenerating tower to reduce the temperature of the bed prior to
tower shift.

1.4.4 Overloading
Attention!
Protect the adsorption dryer from overloads!
The adsorption dryer can become overloaded, if:
The inlet flow is too high,
The temperature of the air at the discharge of the
aftercooler is too high,
The min. operating pressure is too low,
The temperature of the air at the discharge of the
compressor is too low.

After the adsorption dryer has been delivered, it must be checked for damage that
may have occurred during transport. The Transport Company must be informed to
register any damage. Shipping damage is not covered by any warranty.
1.4.8 Storage
If the adsorption dryer is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, it should be
stored in a dry place, preferably indoors; protected from the elements including
freezing or extremely warm temperatures.
1.4.9 Use of a pre and afterfilter
Use of a prefilter is not necessary with a heat-of-compression dryer. An afterfilter
should be provided to prevent desiccant dust from migrating downstream.

SECTION 2:
INSTALLATION
2.1
SET-UP AND INSTALLATION

Once at the installation location, the adsorption dryers of the series HC-3 HC-239,
which are supplied with a base frame, must be positioned so that all sides are easily
accessible. Should vibrations occur on the installation location, the adsorption dryer
is to be placed onto vibration dampeners.
Since the adsorption dryer has already been completely wired at our factory, the
customer only has to connect the power supply cable to the terminal strip according
to the supplied wiring diagrams.
Advice
Should you still have questions regarding installation, you can request
installation blueprints separately from Ingersoll-Rand Davidson NC.
Warning!
Use the appropriate, load-rated lifting equipment
and observe safe lifting procedures during all
operations of installation.
The equipment should be unloaded as close as
possible to the installation site to minimize any
chances of equipment damage.
Page 20
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
2.1.1 Mechanical installation
The equipment should be located in an area as practically possible with
adequate clearances for service. An overhead clearance of not less than three
feet above each adsorber tower is required for loading of the desiccant. Access
clearance of three feet in front of the control panel should be provided. Insulate
the pipe between the compressor and dryer to minimize heat loss. Remove all
protective shipping crates, flange covers, etc.
Utilizing the mounting holes provided on the skid, anchor the Ingersoll-Rand type
HC Dryer to a solid, level foundation designed to support the dryer.
Do not hydrostatically test the pressure vessels. All HC dryers pressure vessels
are hydrostatically tested at one and one-half times the design pressure after
fabrication and before assembly.
Desiccant is shipped loose (HC-41 and above) and must be installed. Refer to
section 4.2 for installation of desiccant.
If the equipment is installed in a high traffic area, protective barriers may be
required to prevent possible damage of equipment and to prevent contact with
hot surfaces.
Because of vibration during shipping, some tube fittings may have loosened;
therefore, inspect all connections and tighten if required. Also, flange
connections may have loosened; therefore tighten all flange bolts.
Ensure that the inlet and outlet connections to and from the Ingersoll-Rand type
HC Dryer are made using the correct rated fittings and piping to meet the design
conditions.
System isolation and by-pass valves should be installed. If not supplied as part
of the equipment package by Ingersoll-Rand, they should be supplied and installed
by others. It must be verified that these exist, so that future servicing of the Dryer
System may take place.
Full flow relief valves to protect the system from over-pressure must be provided
by others in accordance with local regulations.
The purge exhaust connection on the HC larger dryers may be connected to a
vent header. To ensure satisfactory regeneration of the desiccant chambers is
achieved, the purge exhaust piping should be sized as follows to prevent "back
pressure" build up.
Installed length of exhaust pipe
Up to 10 Ft
Up to 25 Ft
Up to 50 Ft
Pipe size required

Same size as the dryer exhaust
One size larger than dryer exhaust
Two sizes larger than dryer exhaust
Up to 100 Ft
Three sizes larger than dryer exhaust

USER MANUAL
Series HC
2.1.2 Filter installation
Series HC dryers are shipped with the afterfilter loose or with the filter skid mounted
on a separate steel frame. The following installation applies to all models that are
shipped with filters loose.
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.
Filter Skid with 3-Valve Bypass Installation
Filters skid should be located as close to dryer as possible. Use the skid bolt
holes to secure the assembly.
Ensure that the skid is located such that the 3-valve bypass will bypass the
dryer and filters when in use.
Check the flow direction of each filter to ensure the after filter is connected to
the outlet pipe of the dryer.
Connect the filter skid piping and dryer skid piping using materials and
fabrication procedures that are suitable for compressed air pressure piping.
All flanges are ANSI B16.5 Class 150 Raised Face flanges.

USER MANUAL
Series HC
2.1.3 Electrical installation
Connect the dryer to a correctly sized power supply. The dryer requires a
115V 60 cycle connection. A disconnect switch is not provided with the dryer
and must be supplied by end user in accordance with the recognized
electrical codes.
Ground the frame of the dryer in accordance with the recognized electrical
codes.
It is recommended that the common alarm relay, located in the dryer control
panel, be connected to the control room or operator station so that an
immediate response to the dryer alarm may be given when required.

SECTION 3:
START UP AND OPERATION
3.1
START UP
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 similar
impurities.
All shut off valves on the adsorption dryer, after-filter
and on the bypass line should be closed.
The ambient temperature must not be less than 33F.
Breakdowns resulting from faulty installation do not fall under Ingersoll-Rand's
warranty obligation.
3.1.1 Pressurizing dryer
Prior to pressurizing the Ingersoll-Rand Series HC Dryer system, verify the

following:
-
Dryer On Off switch is in the off position.

System outlet block valve is closed.
Cooling water is turned on to the aftercooler.
Slightly open the inlet isolation valve slowly admitting compressed air to the
system. When full system operating pressure has been reached all
connections should be soap bubble tested for leaks. Any leaks should be
repaired and retested prior to placing the equipment in service. If some gas
other than the process air will be used for leak testing, consult Ingersoll-Rand
for its compatibility with system components before proceeding. Fully open
the inlet isolation valve.
When the system is filled with process air, is leak tight and start-up is
completed, then slowly open the system outlet valve to pressurize the
downstream piping. During the procedure, ensure that the dryer system
pressure does not fall below 95% of its reading prior to opening the system
outlet valve. This will protect the equipment internal components (i.e. filter
elements, desiccant) from gas velocities above design conditions.
Page 24
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
3.1.1 Pressurizing dryer (Continued)
When pressurizing is complete then fully open the system outlet valve to
place the equipment in service.
Verify the system inlet pressure and temperature are at the design operating
levels.
3.1.2 Energizing dryer controls
Turn ON-OFF switch to the ON position.
A Micrologix programmable controller with individual input/output modules

controls the dryer cycle. A copy of the program complete with a full listing of
inputs, outputs, internal coils, timers and counters is included later in this
manual. This should be used as a reference guide to ensure dryer is cycling.
A manual mode is included in the dryer program to allow for fast cycling to
verify the operation of the dryer.
While dryer is in the stripping mode for either chamber, the regeneration flow
setting should be checked. The stripping flow valve should be set at 1.5 turns
open at start-up and adjusted as necessary to maintain the specified
dewpoint. The pressure gauge on the regenerating tower should not exceed
10 psig.
Warning!
Failure to correctly set the stripping flow can lead to
improper regeneration of the desiccant bed, resulting
in a dewpoint failure when that chamber is returned to
service.
It is recommended that the operational program of the dryer and the
wiring schematic be studied before operating the dryer.
NOTE : If the DPDS (Dewpoint Demand System) option is purchased,
reference the DPDS Installation and Operating Guide for
instructions.

3.2.1 Main Screen
This is the main screen. This screen will be displayed upon initial startup or after an
alarm has been cleared. Using the up or down arrow keys and the enter key you may
select a screen to view.
3.2.2 Status
This screen will give you the dryers current status. The top line will tell you which tower
is onstream. The second line is the regeneration cycle in which the opposite tower
(regenerating) is in. This will toggle from HEATING to STRIPPING to
REPRESSURIZATION to COOLING. If the optional dewpoint demand system (DPDS)
is installed, you may also see STANDBY below the current tower status.
The lower left hand corner gives the time remaining in the current regeneration cycle.
This starts counting down from 240 minutes (four hours). Note: When the dryer is in
DPDS Standby, the time remaining will read zero.
The lower right hand corner is another screen selector list. This list is the same as the
one on the MAIN screen, except it only displays one screen name at a time. Use the up
or down arrow key to select the screen name you would like to go to then press the
enter key.

The settings screen allows you to toggle between Dewpoint Demand and straight Time
cycle. While in Time cycle, the dryer will shift towers every four hours. When utilizing the
optional DPDS, the dryer will complete its four hour regeneration and go into a standby
mode until the outlet dewpoint has reached the dewpoint monitors set point. When
dewpoint demand is not purchased, this screen will not be available.
3.2.4 Alarms
The alarm screen will display any and all alarms. Alarms are displayed in the order in
which they occur, for instance the top alarm is always the most recent one. When an
alarm situation occurs, this screen will automatically be displayed. When an alarm
clears, the operator interface will automatically return to the MAIN screen. The optional
fail-to-shift alarm comes with an alarm horn. The F4 key will allow an operator to disable
this horn while they are in the area to fix the alarm condition. When fail-to-shift is not
purchased, this function will not be present. Using the other function keys, per the
above designations, you may toggle to any other screen.
When screen is switched with a pre-existing alarm, this alarm screen will not
automatically pop back up until all alarms are cleared.

SECTION 4:
MAINTENANCE
4.1
Advice: In order to ensure continuous and trouble-free operation, a

maintenance contract with Ingersoll-Rand is recommended.
SUGGESTED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
4.1.1 Introduction
The Series HC compressed air dryer requires a minimum of maintenance as
most components are "maintenance-free". However, a certain amount of
"preventive maintenance" is recommended to assure years of trouble-free, highperformance service.
4.1.2 Periodic Maintenance Schedule
Whereas it is recommended that the dryer be observed and inspected as often
as it is practical, the following is a minimum requirement:
A. EVERY 2000 HOURS OR 3 MONTHS
1. Check the inlet air temperature; make adjustments, if necessary.
2. Check the air temperature at intercooler outlet; above 100F means:
a. Increase the cooling water flow.
b. Lower the cooling water temperature.
c. Back flush and thoroughly clean the intercooler, to restore efficiency.
3. "Blow off" the vessel relief valves to assure their integrity.
4. Test the drain trap assembly and drain the sump at the separator drain of
sludge that may have accumulated by closing off the primary drain until
the secondary valve actuates.
All of the above can be accomplished while the dryer is operating.
B. EVERY 4000 HOURS OR 6 MONTHS
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 as outlined in "Every 2000 Hours or 3 Months".
Page 32
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
2. Isolate and depressurize the dryer.
3. Disconnect power to the dryer.
4. Replace afterfilter elements (the proper number and quantity is indicated
on the filter and in the Spare Parts List in Section V of this manual).
5. Make certain all air and electrical connections are sound.
6. Repressurize the dryer and place "on stream".
7. Reconnect power to the dryer.
C. EVERY 8000 HOURS OR 12 MONTHS
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 as outlined in "Every 4000 Hours or 6 Months".
DO NOT REPRESSURIZE DRYER OR RECONNECT POWER
TO THE DRYER YET!
2. Rebuild the actuators by installing repair kits in the major switching valves.
(V1-V13 and V15)
3. Carefully disassemble and clean the solenoid valves in the control group;
rebuild with new parts only if damage or serious wear is evident.
4. Carefully disassemble and clean the 3-way solenoid valve on the
separator drain trap.
5. Rebuild the secondary drain valve by installing a valve repair kit.
(SD - P/N 38341285)
6. Disassemble and clean the primary drain. (FT)
7. It is recommended that the aftercooler be back-flushed and thoroughly
cleaned, both tubeside and shellside, at 8,000 hours; but this interval
should be adjusted shorter or longer, based on water quality and plant
experience.
Page 33
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
8. If the DPDS option is purchased, refer to the DPDS Installation and
Operating Guide for instructions.
9. Make certain all air, electric, and water connections are sound.
10. Open the cooling water supply valve and adjust as required.
11. Repressurize the dryer and place "on-stream".
D. EVERY 16,000 HOURS OR 24 MONTHS
1. Perform steps 1 through 9 as outlined in "Every 8000 Hours or 12
Months.
DO NOT REPRESSURIZE DRYER OR RECONNECT POWER
TO THE DRYER YET!
2. Drain all the desiccant from both vessels through the drain at the bottom
of each vessel.
3. Refill both vessels with the proper amount of desiccant as noted in the
specifications at the front of this manual.
NOTE: Desiccant can be purchased only through Ingersoll-Rand
distributors authorized to sell Series HC dryers and related
products.
4. Make certain all air, electric, and water connections are sound.
5. Open the cooling water supply valve and adjust as required.
6. Repressurize the dryer and place "on-stream".
Page 34
September 2004
USER MANUAL
Series HC
D. ADJUSTMENTS
The inlet air temperature (as indicated on the Instrument Panel) should be
adjusted to obtain the desired temperature/dewpoint performance (reference
the Regenerative Dryer Specification Sheet in Section I). This can be
accomplished through manipulation of the inlet piping insulation and/or the
compressor intercooling.
The temperature of the air leaving the dryer aftercooler should be maintained
at or below 90F. Adjust the cooling water supply as required.
4.2
REPLACEMENT / DISPOSAL OF THE DESICCANT

NOTE :
Refer to the desiccant MSDS in the appendix of this manual for

detailed information regarding material description and
ingredients.
The dryer is filled from the top and emptied from the bottom. Refer to the General
Arrangement drawing for location of fill and drain ports.
To drain the desiccant, remove the drain plug/cover and catch the old
desiccant in a suitable container. Replace the desiccant drain plug/cover.
Remove the fill cap and refill the chamber with the specified desiccant. Refer
to 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 to
service.

Refer to the Dewpoint Demand Installation & Operating Guide

included with this User Manual for information on dewpoint meter
maintenance and operation.
FILTERS
4.4.1 General comments and use

Filters of the series AF are suitable for filtering solids out of compressed air and
other neutral, compressed gases. This new filtration concept is characterized by
high flows at low differential pressure.
4.4.2 Function
The soiled medium flows through the filter element "Series AF" from the outside to
the inside. Solids are filtered out by impact or by the effect of inertia.
4.4.3 Assembly and installation
Advice
The piping system must be cleaned before assembling filter.

The filter must always be installed vertically.
4.4.4 Maintenance
Advice
The filter element should be replaced when a differential pressure of

> 10 PSID has been reached or, at latest, after 6 months of operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAULTS
6.1
INTRODUCTION
Following proper preventive maintenance procedures will go far toward assuring
trouble-free dryer performance; however, failures will still occur. This
troubleshooting part will help to identify the source of the problem and to effect a
remedy.
6.2
HIGH DEWPOINT
6.2.1
Changed Operating Conditions

Check to see that flow rate, pressure, and temperature are still within
specification.
6.2.2
Old Desiccant
If the dryer is not able to maintain dewpoint for a sufficiently long period, the
desiccant may have aged to the point where its capacity is inadequate. Replace
the desiccant with the appropriate quantity and type of desiccant.
6.2.3
Towers Not Reversing

Check PLC, solenoid valve, inlet switching valves, and, if supplied, Dewpoint
Demand System meter.
6.2.4
Cooler Discharge Air Temperature Too High

Check cooling water flow rate and temperature. Fouled or dirty cooler may
require cleaning on air and/or water side.
6.2.5
Dewpoint Indication In Error

Check calibration/operation of dewpoint measuring instrument.

Two-way Valve Leakage

Valve leakage here will allow relatively wet inlet air to leak into the dry outlet air
stream, thereby raising the dewpoint of the composite air. Compare the
dewpoint of the air at the dryer outlet to the dewpoint measured at the top
(outlet) of the drying tower (i.e., at the relief valve location). If there is a
significant difference in dewpoint, one or both closed 2-way valves is leaking.
Check actuator operation and check for seat wear.

FAIL-TO-SHIFT
6.3.1
Solenoid Valve Failed To Operate

Check electrical connection, coil, and valve seat.
6.3.2
Pilot Air Tubing Leakage

Check tubing fittings for leakage.
6.3.3
Two-way Switching Valve Actuator Leakage

A leaking actuator can cause the switching valve to malfunction; low pilot
pressure due to leakage (or solenoid valve failure) will cause the FAIL-TOSHIFT ALARM to activate. Check for leakage.
6.4
PRIMARY DRAIN FAILURE
6.4.1
Plugging Or Sticking Due To Foreign Matter

If the PRIMARY DRAIN FAILURE ALARM activates, the probable cause is
sediment plugging the orifice or impeding the proper operation of the float.
Disassemble, inspect, and clean as necessary.

6.5
SECONDARY DRAIN FAILURE
6.5.1
Solenoid Valve Failure

When the liquid level rises above the primary float valve elevation and contacts
the liquid level probe, a circuit is completed energizing the 3-way normally open
solenoid valve depressurizing the secondary drain valve actuator. The system
pressure should open the secondary drain valve. If the PRIMARY DRAIN
FAILURE ALARM activates, but the secondary drain valve fails to open, check
the 3-way normally open solenoid valve. Clean, repair, or replace as necessary.
6.5.2
Liquid Level Probe Failure

If the PRIMARY DRAIN FAILURE ALARM does not activate after or during
failure of the float operated drain, check the liquid level probe for proper
operation.
6.6
SHORT-TERM SHUT-DOWN
Advice
The following sequence is to be heeded when switching off the
adsorption dryer:
First close all the shut off valves up and downstream of dryer
Then immediately switch off the adsorption dryer.
Attention!
Dryer will remain pressurized.
6.7
SHUT-DOWN IN CASE OF A FAULT OR FOR MAINTENANCE

Danger!
Before any kind of maintenance or repair work is
done, the adsorption dryer must be depressurized
and disconnected from the power source.
Apply the general safety regulations!
