DRYPOINT ® ACDRYPOINT ® AC:PAYBACK THROUGH SAVING ENERGYIT´S TRUEThe operation of compressed air systems withconventional adsorption dryers can suffer from strongsystem-related pressure drop. This deficiency needsto be compensated via an increased compressorperformance, this requiring a higher energy input.We would also be happyto inform you about ourDRYPOINT ® AC programfor volume flows of10-112 m 3 /h. For thispurpose, please ask for therespective brochure.Cold-regenerated DRYPOINT ® AC adsorption dryersoffer a convincing solution to the problem: BEKOhas developed an adsorption dryer which limitsthe pressure drop to an average of only 0.35 bar,including the pre- and final filters. Compared withconventional dryers, this represents an improvement ofover 50%. Thus acquisition costs will already pay offvia the saving of energy costs after an average of onlythree years.+1:+2:+3:The pressure drop of a dryer exertsa decisive influence on the energycosts which constitute up to 80%of the total lifetime costs.For a dryer, designed for acompressor performance of110 Kw (4000 operating hours,8 ct/KwH), cost savings ofup to 1000 Euro per year may beachieved in such a way.Energy Energiekosten costsin in EURO pro per Jahr year4000 40003000 3000200020001000 1000Pressure Druckabfalldrop90 90 kW kW75 75 kW kW55 55 kW kW45 45 kW kW0.2 0,2 bar bar 0.4 0,4 bar bar 0.6 0,6 bar bar 0.8 0,8 bar bar 1.0 1,0 bar barBEKOconventional adsorption dryersCompressor Kompressor160160kWkW132 kW110 kW+4:+5:2

DRYPOINT ® ACDRYPOINT ® AC:THE BEST CHOICELOW ENERGY COSTS AS A RESULT OFA PRESSURE DROP LOWER BY 50%Components• All components of the DRYPOINT ® AC are adjustedto each other with regard to flow optimisation (e.g.curved inlet on the CLEARPOINT ® compressed airfilters, large pipe cross sections, large-scale valvecross sections).• Large drying agent bed: This offers additionalcapacity for the maintenance of the full dryingperformance, e.g. at an unexpectedly high volumeflow or low operating pressure.• A minimum of two silencers, installed to each otherto reduce noise.• Due to the particularly large surface area of thesilencers, a long serviceable life and reduceddynamic pressure is achieved. The flow velocity isreduced and, therefore, an extremely low pressuredrop builds up. This saves considerablequantities of regeneration air.• An adjustable regeneration air nozzle enables thechangeover to other operating conditions and offersadditional operational reliability with regard to thedosage of the correct quantity of regeneration air.Control• DRYPOINT ® AC is also suitable for non-continuousoperation. Reduction of the regeneration aircorresponds to the actual requirements via couplingwith the compressor (compressor synchronisationcontrol). An optional, dewpoint-dependent controlmay be retrofitted at any time.AdjustableOptional:regeneration air nozzlepressure dew pointmonitoring andload-dependentcontrolHIGH OPERATIONAL SAFETY USING ACONVINCING CONCEPTFail-Safe• At an external interruption of the power supply,conventional dryers are overloaded and losetheir ability to function. The consequence: wateris introduced into the compressed air system. Theconcept of the DRYPOINT ® AC prevents unwantedloading of the dryer during interruption of the powersupply and guarantees preservation of the function.The compressed air system remains dry.Reliable components• Exclusively standardised valves of well-knownmanufacturers are used. Spare parts may be procuredworldwide, promptly and without problems.• Both drying agent containers are kept underalternating pressure. They are therefore, including allfittings, designed fatigue-endurable at rated operatingconditions for alternating pressure operation. Theirsuitability for unlimited load alterations prolongs theirlifespan and eliminates any risk for operations and thesystem.Efficient drying agent• The special BEKO drying agent offers a large, activesurface for the absorption of humidity.• The dimensionally stable, water-resistant drying agentfree from wear allows the densest possible filling.• No function-disturbing bypasses due to a specialcompressed-air distributor.4

DRYPOINT ® ACEXTREMELY EASY TO MAINTAIN• All components are accessible from the front. No timeconsumingdismounting and mounting of the pipe bridgeis required for the replacement of the drying agent.• Each container is equipped with an overhead, easilyaccessible service sleeve. (Type AC 210 - AC 295).EASY INSTALLATION• DRYPOINT ® AC is particularly convenient for tightspaces. Transport has also been taken into account:The supporting frame is suitable for load platforms.• The dryer will be assembled and serviceable whendelivered.YOUR CUSTOM-MADE DRYPOINT ® AC• Factory adjustment to the operating pressure.• For an optimum integration of the dryer into the existingcompressed air system, BEKO offers a variety of options.Amongst other things, these are: a load-dependentcontrol, automatic starting control and an extensive filterprogram (e.g. CLEARPOINT ® activated carbon filters,nanofilters).Inlet plugadsorbentAdjustable nozzle forregeneration airCheck valveCheck valveDesiccantvesselDesiccantvesselPneumaticpilot valvesElectroniccontrolsValve inletValve silencerSilencersBase frame5

DRYPOINT ® ACDRYPOINT ® ACTECHNICAL INFORMATION AND DATAControlStandard:Compressor synchronisation controlIn connection with a compressor, the control reduces theenergy demand of the dryer to the required minimum.When the compressor works, the dryer will be energisedcorrespondingly. The shortened load period savesenergy costs and reduces wear and tear. The integratedcontinuous memory of the DRYPOINT ® AC‘s controlensures safe and overload-free operation.Optional: retrofittable, load-dependent controlA load-dependent control uses the saving potentialsof a dryer particularly efficiently and reduces theoperating costs. With most dryers, retrofitting requiresthe complete and costly replacement of the control.With DRYPOINT ® AC, the load-dependent control is anoptional extension which does not require the completeexchange of the control. Due to enormous energysavings at almost negligible installation costs, such aninvestment often pays for itself after only 6 months.THE COMPLETE DRYPOINT ® PROGRAMBroadband power supplyAir quality accordingto ISO 8573-165Pressuredew point+10 °C+7 °CMembrane dryerDRYPOINT ® MRefrigeration dryerDRYPOINT ® RA, RA HT, RS, RS HPInternationally usable, works with almost every supplyvoltage: 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz and 24 VDC.Other voltages optional.4+3 °Cm 3 /hProtection class IP54Extra-protection against splashes of water.3–20 °C2–40 °CCold-regeneratedadsorption dryerDRYPOINT ® AC, AC HPWarm-regeneratedadsorption dryerEVERDRY ®1–70 °CConnectionm 3 /hVolume flowscfmDimensions*Weight**A B C D E kgAC 205 G 1 135 79.5 1615 740 490 1585 680 150AC 210 G 1 155 91.2 1525 740 490 1490 680 190AC 215 G 1 200 117.7 1525 740 490 1490 680 190AC 220 G 1½ 280 164.8 1925 1030 620 1800 810 330AC 225 G 1½ 380 223.7 1925 1030 620 1800 810 330AC 230 G 1½ 500 294.3 1880 1030 620 1750 810 380AC 240 G 2 630 370.8 1870 1220 730 1820 850 650AC 250 G 2 800 470.9 1830 1220 830 1780 975 830AC 260 G 2½ 1000 588.6 1725 1860 830 1200 1100 900AC 275 G 2½ 1250 735.7 1725 1860 960 1200 1100 1060AC 295 G 2½ 1550 912.3 1800 1860 970 1230 1100 1260For adsorption dryers
