A second generation of AC adsorption compressed air dryers feature pulse jet filters as standard, which are optimised with regard to flow and pressure drop.

Beko Technologies has launched the second generation of its Drypoint AC adsorption compressed air dryers. Beko state that the main improvements in the new range are in terms of running costs and operational reliability. Inside the Drypoint AC moist compressed air flows through the inlet filters into the adsorption dryer and then through a valve into one of the chambers.

Here a diffusion bottom ensures even distribution of the air and homogeneous loading of the adsorbent bed, which collects moisture from the air on its surface.

The dried air then flows into the second valve unit that feeds it into the dust filter and also supplies the necessary regeneration air.

The regeneration air - which is very dry - takes up the moisture from the surface of the adsorbent and is finally discharged into the environment through the silencer.

The dried compressed air still contains minute amounts of adsorbent dust, which is retained in the Clearpoint dust filter installed downstream of the dryer.

In the new Drypoint the valve technology is advanced with a larger aperture cross section and custom made Beko diaphragms, designed using Beko's experience with its Bekomat condensate drains, in which more than 600,000 diaphragm valves have been installed.

Valves are mounted directly on the pressure tanks, a simpler and cleaner configuration, which is more economical and reduces leaks.

Ducting in the new Drypoint is in a straight line, avoiding unnecessary deflections that reduce air pressure.

The second generation Drypoint AC's are controlled with improved artificial intelligence including a defined programme run, which is maintained even after interruption or power failure.

The new Drypoint AC comes with Beko's Clearpoint pulse jet filters as standard, which are optimised with regard to flow and pressure drop.

These filters include the condensate drain Bekomat 20 FM with filter management, which indicates when the filter elements need to be replaced.
