Using Dewpoint Control
Dewpoint control is a feature that can help you to reduce energy consumption. It
does this by varying the temperature of the regeneration air from its default set-
point of 350° F {177° C}, to maintain a setpoint that you have entered on the
process dewpoint screen (Screen 11).
Example:
If your material is not difficult to dry, it may dry adequately with -20° F
{-29° C} dewpoint air. When -20° F {-29° C} is entered as the setpoint (Screen
11), the dryer will gradually lower the regeneration air temperature to a point
where the dryer’s delivery air is controlled at -20° F {-29° C} dewpoint.
The dewpoint control is active with setpoint values of -39° F {-39.4° C} and
higher. When the setpoint is -40° F {-40° C} or lower, the regeneration tempera-
ture will be maintained at the default temperature of 350° F {177° C} and the
dewpoint control is inactive.
