M eco control is a drying system that guarantees a constant degree of drying even under fluctuating ® operating conditions. The sensor system integrated into the control unit (2) reacts to fluctuating operating pressure, inlet pressure dew point as well as differential requirements for compressed air quantities. The display and control elements are integrated into the control panel (1). The operating modes as well as specified degree of drying are displayed here. An adjustment to the operating mode or degree of drying is possible at all times with ongoing operation.

Installation and operating manual 2.3.1. Principle function methods Damp compressed air (2) enters the unit through the housing head (1) and flows downwards through the core pipe of the membrane element (5). A nanofilter (6) is fitted in the core pipe outlet which then frees the compressed air of residual aerosols and particles. Separated condensate flows out of the base and is routed through the float drain-off conduit (7). The flow direction is reversed in the nanofilter element area and the damp compressed air flows through the membranes of the internal membrane element. A part of the compressed air flow (9) is diverted downstream of the membrane element and passed by the sensor continuously in the purge air control.
Installation and operating manual The control software decides in defined cycles on the basis of the measurement results whether, and for how long, the complete purge air volume must be supplied in order to achieve and stabilise the required degree of drying. This process will be implemented via a targeted cycling of a solenoid valve. The duration for both subsequent described process steps therefore varies in every cycle to retain the degree of drying within the specified tolerance range. ...
Installation and operating manual 2.4. Control and display elements The operation of the DRYPOINT M eco control is executed via the user interface on the top of the housing.

Installation and operating manual 10. Decommissioning To decommission the drying system, disconnect it from the mains power supply and close the shut-off valves. If only the mains power supply is interrupted, then the drying system will continue to operate in fail-safe mode. This will therefore mean that the entire purge air volume will be continuously consumed. 11.
