Heatless Desiccant Air Dryers

WM Series
 WM Series Heatless Desiccant Air Dryers
Time-Tested Reliability
Since 1961, Deltech has delivered products engineered to efficiently remove contaminants from compressed air systems across
multiple applications. Moving forward our designs have advanced, employing the latest in filtration and dehydration technology.
Today, Deltech prides itself on being a leader in the compressed air industry known for scope of product offering and superior
performance capabilities.

Durability and Performance

Deltech’s WM Series dryers deliver an engineered drying system known for the rugged durability of the components.
Select materials with proven performance and long life expectancies are integrated into a protective NEMA 1 rated
enclosure. Wall-mountable, these heatless dryers offer users the choice of -40°F or -100°F (-40ºC or 73ºC) pressure
dew point performance. The clean, quiet, aesthetically pleasing compact design of the WM Series is well received at
laboratories, hospitals and a host of other applications.

Choose your Cycle

• -40°F (-40ºC) dew point: choose the 10 minute cycle mode (factory setting)
• -100°F (73ºC) dew point: choose the 4 minute cycle mode

Compact Design
• Energy saving heat of adsorption is retained to reduce operating costs
• Controlled repressurization rate prevents desiccant deterioration
• Heavy-duty purge muffler delivers quiet operation
• Removable stainless steel support screens won’t corrode
• Upper & lower stainless steel air diffusers protect valves & prevent
channeling
• Premium quality activated alumina for dry air and long life

Easy to View Controls

• Power On Light
• On/off toggle switch
• Left Tower pressure gauge
• Right Tower pressure gauge
• 6 foot grounded 115 vac cord set included

Protect your Investment

Quality DF Series filtration is the first line of defense to ensure that lubricant is
not introduced into any desiccant dryer.
• Grade B prefilter: remove the lubricant and protect the desiccant
• Grade C afterfilter: ensure that any fine desiccant dust is captured to prevent it from
migrating downstream.

Easy Installation
• Shipped with full charge of desiccant
• Completely assembled, piped and wired
• Simple set up: mount cabinet, pipe air-in, pipe air-out* and plug in the
power cord
*Recommend installing a DF Series Grade B prefilter and a Grade C afterfilter.

How It Works
See Figure 1. Compressed air enters the dryer and is directed to Tower 1 B C B C
by valve (A) and then to the dryer outlet through shuttle valve (B). A portion
of the dried air is throttled to near atmospheric pressure by means of orifice
(C). This extremely dry, low pressure air flows through and regenerates
the desiccant in Tower 2 and is exhausted through purge/repressurization
valve (D) and exhaust muffler (E) to atmosphere. After a set time, the TOWER TOWER TOWER TOWER
1 2 1 2
automatic solid state timer closes purge/repressurization valve (D) allowing
Tower 2 to repressurize slowly. At the end of 5 minutes (when operating
on a 10 minute cycle, 2 minutes on a 4 minute cycle), valve (A) shifts and
purge/repressurization valve (D) re-opens. See Figure 2. The main air flow

is now dried by Tower 2 while Tower 1 is being regenerated. A A

Capacity Correction Factors

• T o determine maximum inlet flow at inlet pressures other than 100 psig (7 kg/cm2), multiply inlet flow from Table 1 by multiplier A from
Table 2 that corresponds to system pressure at inlet of dryer.
• To determine purge flow at inlet pressures other than 100 psig (7 kg/cm2), multiply purge flow at 100 psig (7 kg/cm2), from Table 1 by
multiplier B from Table 2 that corresponds to system pressure at inlet of dryer.
• To determine outlet flow capacity, subtract purge flow from inlet flow.

1 Inlet flows are established in accordance with CAGI (Compressed Air and Gas Institute) standard
ADF-200, Dual Stage Regenerative Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers - Methods for Testing and
Rating. Conditions for rating dryers are: inlet pressure - 100 psig (7 kg/cm2); inlet temperature -
saturated at 100°F (38°C).

 verage Purge Flow is the total amount of air used to purge and repressurize off-stream towers
averaged over the cycle time. Maximum Purge Flow is the flow rate through the off-stream tower
during that portion of the cycle the purge/repressurization valve is open.
