Atlas Copco Refrigeration Air Dryers
Model: FX8
FX refrigerant dryers Industrial performance - simple reliability
Refrigerant circuit
Refrigerant compressor brings the gaseous refrigerant to a high pressure and a high temperature.
Condenser cools the refrigerant slightly so that it changes from gas to liquid; refrigerant is more effective in the liquid state.
Capillary filter protects the expansion device from harmful particles.
Capillary tube reduces the refrigerant's pressure, thereby lowering its temperature and increasing its cooling capacity; the refrigerant is now almost all liquid, with some residual gas.
Separator ensures that only refrigerant gas can enter the compressor, as liquid would cause damage.
Hot gass bypass regulates the amount of refrigerant passing through the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, ensuring a stable pressure dewpoint, and eliminating the chance of the condensate freezing.
Air circuit
Air inlet hot saturated air enters the dryer and is cooled by the outgoing air via the air-to-air heat exchanger. Reducing the temperature of the inlet air reduces the load on the refrigerant circuit. (FX5 and above only)
Air outlet re-heats the outgoing air to prevent condensation on the factory's pipework. (FX5 and above only)
Air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger transfers heat from the compressed air to the cold refrigerant, forcing water vapour in the compressed air to condense. The more effective the heat transfer, the cooler the air becomes and the more water vapour condenses.
Water separator collects and drains off condensate from the cooled air flow. The more efficient the separation, the better the pressure dewpoint, as droplets which are not collected revapourise and degrade the pressure dewpoint.
