Only qualified personnel can use and service electrically powered devices. Before attempting any maintenance: Ensure that no part of the machine is powered and is locked out of the electrical mains by following proper “Lock-out, Tag-out” procedures and requirements. ...
Correction Factors Sizing must be done by a product specialist, please consult your BEKO Technologies representative for details and sizing assistance. General Function The DRYPOINT® XF heated desiccant dryer series are fitted with two pressure vessels, positioned parallel to one another and filled with adsorption material (⅛”...
Cycle Operation After proper pressurization of the dryer, the operator may begin the start-up. During the start-up phase, valves IV-A (1) and IV-B (1) are powered open, while, EV-A (2) and EV-B (2) are powered closed for a period of 40-seconds to help guarantee the complete pressurization of the dryer.
INSTALLATION Design and Use of the Dryer This dryer has been designed, manufactured and tested to be used only to separate the humidity normally contained in compressed air; any other use is considered to be improper. The manufacturer is not responsible for any problems arising from the improper use of this machine.

DRYER OPERATION Start-Up 5.1.1 Verification Prior to Start-up Verify that the operating parameters match with the acceptable ranges indicated on the data plate of the dryer (voltage, frequency, air pressure, air temperature, ambient temperature, etc.). This is not the same as the ASME UW plate on the Vessels and may be lower than what is stamped on the ASME UW plate.
Connect and properly fasten the condensate drain to a collection system or container. The outlet condensate hose cannot be connected to pressurized systems. DO NOT DISPOSE OF CONDENSATE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT The condensate collected in the dryer contains oil particles released into the air stream by the compressor. Dispose of the condensate in a manner compliant with all local, state and Federal rules and regulations.
5.1.3 Start-up Procedures During the first start-up or start-up after a long period of inactivity or following maintenance, the technician must comply with the instructions below. The start-up must be performed by qualified personnel only. The employee that operates the machine must wear hearing and eye protection before operating the dryer.
5.1.4 General Operation Information The dryer may require up to 48-hours of operation to reach normal operating outlet dew point. Therefore, indicators and alarms related to outlet dewpoint, do not need to be recognized during this time. The dryer will not perform as intended without properly sized and installed pre-filtration, condensate drainage and correct purge flow adjustment.
Purge Valve Adjustment The purge flow control valve must be set according to the inlet pressure of the dryer. The valve must be opened to the corresponding number of turns referenced in the table below. Always base the pressure adjustment on the lowest operating pressure of the system The procedure for adjusting the purge flow control valve is as follows: Rendered drawing of purge Turn knob clockwise...
ISOLATION AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES Users operating the machine must wear hearing and eye protection. Each employee must select a proper personal protection device (PPD) hearing protector such as earmuffs, ear canal caps or earplugs in order to prevent permanent hearing damage or loss. Isolation 1.
Controller Information and Operation 5.4.1 Display Overview The interface between the dryer and the operator is the control panel shown below: Outdoor Package: Touch Screen Only Home Button Settings Alarm History Histogram Service & Maintenance The operation of the dryer is controlled and monitored constantly by the advanced system controller. This is a multi- function device: ...
5.4.2 Controller Startup The main controls power button, outside of the electrical control panel, powers the controller. When pressed, the controller startup sequence begins. This includes a system boot process which takes about 30 seconds. Once the startup sequence is complete, the START window will be displayed.
The START screen is only displayed for 3 seconds, after which, the HOME screen will be displayed and the controller will automatically begin in Startup before the drying sequence commences. 5.4.3 Home Screen HOME After the controller startup, the HOME screen dryer operation is displayed. This screen can be accessed at any time by pressing the HOME button.

The controller provides the system information along with an animation of the drying process based on its current operational sequence. Each step is detailed below along with a screen shot of the process. Startup: System Start-up (40 seconds) The controller is evaluating its system parameters to determine the correct step on which to start.
Page 24
Step 1: Vessel B Close Inlet Valve (2.5 seconds) Vessel B inlet valve closes, stopping inlet air to Vessel B. All inlet air is therefore directed to Vessel A where the desiccant material adsorbs the humidity down to the target dew point. Step 2: Vessel B Open Depressurization Valve (240 seconds) ...
Page 25
Step 3: Vessel B Open Regeneration Valve (4 minutes) Vessel B regeneration exhaust valve opens. Step 4: Start Vessel B Heating Period - Regeneration (140 minutes) The blower and heater turn on. The blower forces air across the in-line heater and pushes it into the regeneration tower.
Page 26
Step 5: Start Vessel B Cooling Period - Cooling (86 minutes) The heater turns off while the blower remains on and cools the heater. After the set temperature is reached, the blower turns off and the purge valve opens and additional desiccant bed cooling takes place.
Page 27
Step 7: Vessel B Energy Savings (20 hours max) If dewpoint demand is installed, the dryer will remain in the drying state on Vessel A. Step 8: Vessel B Parallel Mode (10 minutes) Vessel B inlet valve is opened and inlet air enters Vessel B.
NOTE: The cycles are symmetrical for Vessel A and Vessel B: Steps 9 -16 are a repeat of Steps 1-8, but with ‘A’ and ‘B’ side tags switched. After Step 16, the controller will continue back to Step 1. Note that the Step 7 & 15: Energy Saving function is only applicable if it has been enabled in SETTINGS (under the Energy Management option).
Page 29
Global Settings It is important to set the correct Date and Time for the dryer. Dryer alarms are tied to the systems time stamp so, it is important to have this accurate. In case of a power is removed from the controller, the Date and Time are maintained in the memory.

Performance Regeneration includes functional setting for both the Heating Phase and Cooling Phase. Adjustment to these set points are locked and only accessible through an administrative password. Changes can only be made within a specified band of performance. Dew point Demand Dew point demand is a standard feature.

Energy Report Energy Report is where you can track: energy usage of the blower, heater and purge. By entering the energy rate: $/kW we can calculate the total energy consumption. With the ecoIntelligent Control (described in Section 5.5.1) we can look at the energy savings of this function vs dryer running in a fixed time cycle.
5.4.5 Alarms ALARMS The controller has ability to continually monitor specific dryer characteristics along with any ancillary equipment provided it is connected to the controller. If there is a functional issue associated with normal operation, an alarm will be triggered and be displayed as a red background flash on any controller screen: DRYPOINT XFi 1000 manual_revA EN...
