1 Adsorption dryer
2 Microfilter
The compressed air dryer work automatically and supplies dry air
continuously. The air coming from the wet membrane flows
through the lower shuttle valve to the adsorbed. At this point the
water vapors are removed from the air by the desiccant. The dry
air then leaves the device via the afterfilter or dust filter on the
adsorber output and via the upper shuttle valve.

A partial flow of dried air is fed into the adsorber through the
regeneration nozzle. Here the saturated desiccant dissipates the
water vapor and oil vapors to the de-pressurized air flowing
through, in other words the adsorber is regenerated. The moist
regeneration air is dissipated into the atmosphere via a sound
absorber.

The nitrogen main jet is lead either directly into the load area by
switching the 3/2-valve or it is transported to the wet membrane as
a flush air jet. The switching of the valve and, connected with that,
the moistening of the nitrogen jet, depends on the conditions and
the settings of the "setpoints” in the container. The route of the
nitrogen jet through the wet membrane is for moistening the air
inside the container, as described in chapter 4.4.4.

4.4.10 Controller
The controller of the CA system regulates the residual oxygen
content or the nitrogen content in the atmosphere in the load area,
and also regulates the humidity.
The controller of the CA system has a rotary field detection system.
It can be operated with a right rotary field as well as a left rotary
field. In addition the input voltage is monitored. If the supply
voltage moves outside of the specified voltage range of 380 to 460
V, the system switches off and resumes automatic operation when
the supply voltage returns to the specified range.
A voltage converter generates the control voltage of 24 V DC that
is necessary for system operation.

NOTE!
More detailed information concerning system wiring
and the electrical connection of the specific
components are in the circuit diagram of the
system provided in the appendix.
4.4.11 Sensors
Different process parameters are monitored and controlled via
sensors on the CA system.
A microcontroller has the task of regulating the function of the
overall system based on the data supplied by the sensors.
The measuring sensors permanently monitor the actual status
during operation by comparing the actual status with the target
status. The essential measuring data such as oxygen content and
moisture content in the container, operating pressure of the system
as well as purity of the nitrogen produced are continuously
recorded in the data memory of the microcontroller. It is possible to
read out the data with a laptop.
In addition to the sensor system presented below the CA system
also has additional signal transmitters that have an influence on
proper operation and an influence on the safety functions to protect
both the operator and the system.

1 Water separator
2 Oxygen sensor
3 Carbon dioxide sensor
The first sensor is placed on the (Æ armature group) and has the
task of measuring the oxygen content of the atmosphere produced
and introduced into the container.
The second oxygen container (2) is located in a separate plastic
Fig. 25: Oxygen sensor housing that is integrated on the front side of the cooling system.
The oxygen sensor is located on the right side next to the water
separator (1). This sensor records captures the oxygen values
inside the container and thus is an essential process monitoring
element.
In addition depending on the model type of the CA system a
carbon dioxide sensor (3) can be integrated below the oxygen
sensor (2).
The carbon dioxide sensors have an output signal from 0 to 10 V
and do not require a supply voltage. The signal of each sensor is
sent directly to the PLC controller for signal processing.

Dismantling
10 Dismantling
When the end of usage has been reached the system needs to be
dismantled and disposed of in a professional manner and in
compliance with applicable environmental protection regulations.
10.1 Safety
Personnel Only trained, specialized personnel should perform dismantling
work.
Only qualified electricians should perform work on the electrical
equipment.
Basics WARNING!
Improper dismantling poses an injury hazard!
Stored residual energy, sharp-edged components,
points and corners on and in the device, or on the
necessary tools can cause serious injuries.
Therefore:
– Prior to starting work ensure that there is
adequate free space.
– Handle open, sharp-edged components
carefully.
– Ensure order and cleanliness at the workstation!
Parts and tools that are lying loose or on top of
each other are accident hazards!
– Dismantle components properly. Pay attention
to the high dead weight of some of the
components. Use hoist equipment if necessary.
– Secure the components so that they do not fall
down or fall over.
– Consult with the manufacturer if there are
questions.

and take it apart in compliance with the applicable industrial safety
and environmental protection regulations.
Prior to disassembling:
Switch off device and safeguard it from being restarted.
Physically disconnect the device from all energy supplies;
discharge stored residual energy.
Remove fuels and auxiliary materials, as well as residual
processing materials and dispose of these items in an
environmentally responsible manner.
