2-4   Options 
Dewpoint Extend 
The Dewpoint Extend option measures the temperature of the moist air as it is bled to the 
atmosphere after regeneration. After a period of time, the bleed temperature will rise. This 
condition, called "bed breakthrough" indicates that the bed is dry. At bed breakthrough, the 
bleed air temperature peaks between 350°F and 400°F.  
The regeneration heaters turn off automatically on bed breakthrough for additional energy 
savings. A 550°F regeneration temperature will dry the desiccant beds sufficiently to produce 
process air dewpoint of -40°F. In a properly sized system, this ultra-low humidity level will 
be more than adequate to dry plastics to as little as .003% moisture.   
Closed-Loop Regeneration 
An optional regeneration closed-loop valve and heat exchanger can be used to close the 
regeneration loop during the cooling portion of the regeneration cycle. If this option is 
enabled on the dryer, air will be bled to the atmosphere until the heating portion of the 
regeneration cycle is finished. Then, the regeneration closed loop valve will direct air through 
a water-cooled heat exchanger and back into the regeneration loop (see Figure 2).
