ingersollrandproducts.com 
 7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
• If a small amount of liquid and a large amount of
air is discharged, decrease the on-time setting or
increase the off-time setting. If there is all liquid and
no air has been discharged, increase the on-time
setting or decrease the off-time setting.
• The on/off-time settings will vary accordingly to
seasonal conditions. During the summer when
more moisture is present in the air system, a shorter
ontime that increases the valve opening frequency is
required. A longer off-time may be used during the
winter months when moisture levels are lower.
7.3.2 NO AIR LOSS DRAIN (OPTIONAL)
The condensate drain operates as a zero-air-loss drain,
returning air that is displaced in the drain bowl back into
the compressed air system. Consistent discharging of
condensate from compressed air equipment is essential for
proper equipment operation and performance.
The condensate drain uses a unique sensing method to
determine the level of condensate in the drain bowl. A
transducer located in the drain bowl continuously sends
out a signal 50 times per second. Once the transducer
determines that the level of condensate has reached a
predetermined level within the drain bowl, a signal is sent
to the no-loss drain valve to open. This operation permits
removal of condensate of up to 80 gallons per hour.
The drain also features a test button that permits manual
operation of the no-loss drain valve. Depressing the test
button illuminates the LED and energizes the solenoid
valve. The LED illuminates to indicate “POWER ON” and
goes off when the no-loss drain valve is operated by the
transducer or manual test button.
The condensate flows through the feed line into the drain
unit and accumulates in the container. A capacitive sensor
continuously registers the liquid level and passes a signal
to the electronic control as soon as the container is filled.
The pilot valve is then activated and the diaphragm opens
the outlet line for discharging the condensate. When the
drain unit has been emptied, the outlet line is closed again
quickly and tightly without wasting compressed air.”
7.4 REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The Refrigeration System consists of all the components
which handle R-404A. This is a hermetically sealed closed-
loop system. Referring to Figure 1 and following the
phantom “REFRIG(R-404A) FLOW,” refrigerant is shown
leaving the evaporator section where, in the process of
removing heat, it is changed from a low pressure liquid into
a low pressure gas. This gas enters the suction side of the
compressor where it is compressed into a high pressure gas.
The high pressure gas is cooled in the condenser section
until it becomes a high pressure liquid. It then goes through
 ingersollrandproducts.com
a permanent filter dryer that ensures the refrigeration
system is free of contaminants. A small diameter capillary
tube (expansion valve on water-cooled dryers) meters
the refrigerant for introduction into the evaporator.
The refrigerant pressure is reduced upon entering the
evaporator where as it evaporates, removes heat from the
thermal mass fluid.
7.5 THERMAL MASS CIRCULATING SYSTEM
The thermal mass fluid in a Ingersoll Rand Nirvana™ Cycling
dryer is continuously circulated in a closed pump loop
system. Referring to Figure 1 and following the dashed
“THERMAL FLUID” line, the heat is removed from the fluid
in the evaporator by the refrigeration system. The thermal
mass reservoir is sized to minimize refrigeration cycles
during reduced air load periods. The thermal mass fluid
is pulled from the bottom of the reservoir and pumped
through the chiller, removing heat from the air and then
returned to the evaporator. The pump utilized on the
Ingersoll Rand Nirvana™ Cycling dryer is a maintenance-
free, quiet cartridge circulator pump similar to those
used in residential water systems. While the refrigeration
system cycles on and off based on loading conditions,
the circulating pump runs continuously to maintain flow
through the chiller at all times. Note that when the power
switch is set to the off position, the circulating pump will
not operate.
7.6 CONTROLS
The Ingersoll Rand NVC500-800 Series dryers incorporate
automatic controls for proper operation. The thermal mass
fluid temperature is maintained by a microprocessor control
that monitors the temperature and cycles the refrigeration
system in response to varying air flow and temperature.
Upon an increase in the temperature of the thermal mass
fluid, the refrigeration compressor is cycled on. When the
fluid is cooled to two deg.F below its control set point, the
refrigerant compressor is cycled off. The thermal mass fluid
functions as a thermal storage mass in the NVC Series dryer.
A low pressure cut out (LPCO) switch is provided for all NVC
series dryers. This switch is factory set to open at 20 psig. If
the refrigerant suction pressure draws below 20 psig, the
LPCO opens to shut off the refrigerant compressor. Once
the switch has opened, it will prevent the compressor from
running until the suction pressure rises above 60 psig and
the LPCO has been manually reset.
All water cooled units come with a high pressure cut out
(HPCO) switch. This switch is set to open at 320 psig and
close at 270 psig. To compensate for water temperature
variation, it may be necessary to adjust the water
regulating valve to maintain a 250 psig discharge pressure.
Adjustment can be done by rotating the adjusting screw
counterclockwise for an increase in discharge pressure.
 7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
For conditions where low water temperature and/or high
water pressure are expected it is advisable to install a water
pressure regulator ahead of the condenser.

 7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
7.6.2 EXCHANGER TEMPERATURE SET POINT AND The alarm names and a brief description of each are
ALARMS described in detail below.

The Controller allows the user to configure the dryer’s
Exchanger Temperature Setpoint to operate according to
site conditions. The Controller is shipped from the factory
with the exchanger temperature having a default value of
38 deg.
7.6.3 ADJUSTING SET POINTS
Accessing and manipulating the Exchanger Temperature
Setpoint is accomplished as follows.
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
When the thermal mass (glycol) temperature reaches the
alarm set point, the alarm will be activated. This alarm
condition may not necessarily damage the dryer when
subjected to long-term exposure. It may, however, have
a significant impact on downstream processes and thus
should be investigated upon detection. Note that this alarm
will not shut down the dryer. This alarm will activate the
remote alarm contact and reset automatically once the
alarm condition is rectified.

 7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
7.6.6.2 Remote Mode (Optional)
This mode of operation allows the user to control the
dryer remotely and requires the installation of a customer-
supplied contact. With power applied to the dryer and once
the safety delay has timed out, the dryer will start once the
remote switch is closed. In addition, this mode of operation
still permits manual control of the dryer via the On/Off
pushbutton on the local control panel. Note that if the dryer
was turned “On” from the remote switch and then turned
“Off” via the local control panel, the remote switch must be
turned “Off” and then “On” to reinstate the dryer.
8.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP
8.1 LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The dryer should not be located in an area where ambient
temperature is likely to exceed 113°F (45°C) or be less
than 50°F (10°C). The dryer must be located in an area
that provides sufficient clearance from walls and other
adjoining equipment to allow easy access for servicing
and maintenance requirements. A minimum of 18 inches is
required to allow free flow of air to the condenser inlet.
On installations with a relatively steady flow rate, the
dryer is normally connected after the air receiver. If loads
fluctuate widely, the dryer should be positioned ahead of
the receiver and sufficient storage capacity downstream is
necessary to prevent excessive air flow through the dryer.
When installed after any compressor that causes
significant vibration or air pulsation, such as reciprocating
compressors, proper vibration isolation and pulsation
dampening devices should be added to protect the dryer.
NOTICE
Failure to comply to the above instructions may
result in equipment malfunction and will void
warranty.
NOTICE
Always use a backup wrench when making any
threaded connection to the dryer. Failure to use a
backup wrench may result in damaged tubing and
components internal to the cabinet.
NOTICE
Condensate drain assembly requires final
connection prior to commissioning dryer. Connect
drain inlet and if required, plug drain into the
provided electrical receptacle prior to pressurizing
or starting unit.
ingersollrandproducts.com 11
7.6.6.3 Auto Restart
Should the dryer lose power while in the “On” mode, the
dryer will revert to the “On” mode once power is restored.
Similarly, should power be removed from the dryer while
the dryer is in the “Off” mode, the dryer will remain in the
“Off” mode once power is restored until the On/Off switch is
depressed or the remote switch is closed.
8.2 PIPING AND VALVES
Install piping, fittings and accessories as required for
specific site conditions and requirements. Figure 3 indicates
a typical piping arrangement for a refrigerated dryer,
including dryer and filter bypasses. This figure can be used
as a guide for valve and accessory placement in the system.
Ingersoll Rand NVC500-800 models come factory installed
with a drain isolation valve (D). The isolation valve permits
maintenance of the automatic drain without isolating
air flow to the dryer. To operate dryer, all valves shown in
Figure 3 are to be closed except valves (B), (C) and (D). Valve
(A) is used for bypass purposes and valve (E) is for test and
manual drain purposes.
8.3 FILTRATION
To protect the air dryer from gross contamination
associated with compressor oil and debris and ensure
maximum dryer performance, a pre-filter is recommended.
Pre-filters and post-filters sized to your drying application
can be provided by Ingersoll Rand and are available
factory installed. Call your local distributor to select the
filter that best suits your filtration requirements. In addition
to air filtration, condensate discharge oil/water separators
are also available to address stringent EPA regulations.

severe system malfunction.
8.5 INITIAL START-UP
• Apply power to dryer. LCD Panel will illuminate. The
Anti- Short Cycle delay will commence counting
down.
NOTICE
After installation or a prolonged shutdown,
start the dryer with no air load (no air flow). This
enables the dryer to reach its proper operating
temperature in the shortest time possible
(typically within 30 minutes for Nirvana™ Cycling
dryers).
• Start Dryer, using one of the following methods,
depending on Start Mode setting:
Manual Mode - Press the ON pushbutton.
Auto Restart Mode - No additional action required

NOTICE Remote Automatic Mode - Close the remote contact.

For water cooled models, the water valve must be

manually opened to ensure that the condenser is
full of water prior to start-up.
