Abstract:
Compressed air dryer systems are described. In an aspect, a system includes, but is not limited to, a plurality of dryer modules and a controller operable to regulate a run-time of each of the plurality of dryer modules. Each dryer module is configured to direct a portion of cooling medium past a stream of compressed air. Each dryer module includes a temperature sensor in thermal communication with the portion of cooling medium, and a chiller configured to reduce a temperature of the portion of cooling medium based on the sensed temperature and a temperature set-point. The controller communicatively is coupled with the plurality of dryer modules and operable to monitor a plurality of run-times. Each run-time is associated with a corresponding dryer module. The controller is further operable to direct operation of each dryer module based on its run-time by modifying the temperature set-point of the dryer module.
