Champion XCCY Series Dryers
CYCLING REFRIGERATED DRYER | 10–1,200 CFM
XCCY Series Cycling Refrigerated Dryer provides reliability like no other dryer in its class: reliability that you can count on to protect your air system day in and day out; reliability built in by design. The XCCY Series is a genuine cycling dryer, incorporating innovative features that make it not only the most reliable, but the most energy efficient, dryer in its class. The key element central to the reliability and energy efficiency of the XCCY Series is its distinct, patented heat exchanger design. Providing high heat transfer with low pressure drop because of uniquely short flow length, the XCCY Series heat exchanger presents a flow area three to five times that of an equivalent copper tubing exchanger, and it is self-cleaning, which greatly reduces the potential for fouling.
Energy-Efficient Design – An advanced cycling dryer, the XCCY Series provides significant savings because it does not waste energy costs through continuous operation of its refrigeration system, as do traditional non-cycling dryers. Each component of the XCCY Series has been designed to provide not only durability, but maximum energy efficiency. This combination of system design and individual component design adds up to the most energy efficient cycling refrigerated dryer available.
Factors contributing to the XCCY Series’ energy efficiency:
- Design includes a refrigeration system combined with a thermal mass that efficiently stores cold energy.
- Refrigeration compressor cycles off during periods of reduced load, while dryer continues to remove moisture and contaminants from the compressed air.
- Unique centrifugal separator design provides effective moisture separation maintaining consistent dew point, regardless of partial load operation.
Microprocessor Controller – The easy-to-use controller automatically manages dryer operation for optimum air treatment and for maximum energy efficiency.
- Simple and easily read interface with LED indication
- Digital display of chiller temperature available at a glance to ensure optimal dryer performance
- Percent of energy savings available at the touch of a button
- Dedicated buttons enable convenient adjustment of solenoid drain timing as well as drain function test
- Automatic dryer restart in the event of a sudden loss of power
- Adjustable chiller temperature set point to further reduce energy expense
- Microprocessor control constantly monitors dryer functions including thermal mass temperature and provides alarms to minimize dryer downtime
Best in Class Design – The XCCY Series cycling dryer uses centrifugal separation to remove moisture from the chilled air. Separation occurs at the coldest point in the system by means of centrifugal acceleration, then expands into an area of low velocity containing a sump, and change of air flow direction. The result is highly efficient moisture removal, providing exceptionally dry, clean air under all operating conditions.
High Heat Transfer at Work – The superior performance of the XCCY Series dryer can be attributed to the effective heat transfer capabilities of the exchanger design, utilized throughout the compressed air circuit. The dryer design includes a precooling system with stainless steel heat exchangers to properly condition the air for drying. A re-heater section of the dryer’s air side also uses these high performance heat exchangers to prepare the dried compressed air for re-entry into the air system. This prevents pipe sweating and readies the compressed air for use in process applications.
- 100% STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION – permits optimal heat transfer, resulting in a consistent pressure dew point.
- XCCY SERIES DRYER’S AIR CIRCUIT HEAT EXCHANGERS – combine a high heat transfer coefficient with unmatched low pressure drop.
- CORROSION-RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL – is used in all the XCCY Series dryer’s air circuit heat exchangers, providing durability in environments unsuitable for copper or other metals.
- AN INNOVATIVE CORRUGATED & FOLDED STAINLESS STEEL PANEL – is stacked inside two stainless steel shells, then welded together to form a unitized heat exchanger. This design ensures reliability through the elimination of dissimilar metals or tube in tube chaffing, which is a common cause for heat exchanger leaks and failures.
