This equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualified techni-
cal personnel who are familiar with the construction, operation, and potential
hazards of this type of machine.
All wiring, disconnects, and fuses should be installed by qualified electrical
technicians in accordance with electrical codes in your region. Always maintain
a safe ground. Do not operate the equipment at power levels other than what is
specified on the machine serial tag and data plate.
WA RN IN G: Vol ta ge h a z a r d
This equipment is powered by three-phase alternating current, as specified on
the machine serial tag and data plate.
A properly sized conductive ground wire from the incoming power supply must
be connected to the chassis ground terminal inside the electrical enclosure.
Improper grounding can result in severe personal injury and erratic machine
operation.
Always disconnect and lock out the incoming main power source before open-
ing the electrical enclosure or performing non-standard operating procedures,
such as routine maintenance. Only qualified personnel should perform trou-
bleshooting procedures that require access to the electrical enclosure while
power is on.

Always protect yourself from hot surfaces inside the dryer and hopper. Also
exercise caution around exterior surfaces that may become hot during use.
These include the hopper door frame, the exterior of an uninsulated hopper, the
return air hose and the dryer’s process filter housing and moisture exhaust out-
let.

CAUTION: Before performing maintenance or repairs on this product, you should discon-
nect and lockout electrical power sources to prevent injury from unexpected energization or
start-up. A lockable device has been provided to isolate this product from potentially haz-
ardous electricity.
Lockout is the preferred method of isolating machines or equipment from energy sources.
Your Conair product is equipped with the lockout device pictured below. To use the lockout
device:
1Stop or turn off the equipment.
2Isolate the equipment from the electric power. Turn the rotary
disconnect switch to the OFF, or “O” position.
3Secure the device with an assigned lock or tag. Insert a lock or tag
in the holes to prevent movement.
4The equipment is now locked out.
WARNING: Before removing lockout devices and returning switches to the ON posi-
tion, make sure that all personnel are clear of the machine, tools have been
removed, and all safety guards reinstalled.
To restore power to the dryer, turn the rotary disconnect back to the ON position:
1Remove the lock or tag.
2Turn the rotary disconnect switch to the ON or “I” position.

The Carousel Plus W Series dehumidifying dryer produces hot, low-dewpoint air that
removes moisture from hygroscopic plastics. The dryer pulls warm, moist air from a drying
hopper and circulates it through a dehumidifying desiccant wheel. The dryer then heats the
air to the drying temperature you selected and circulates it through the material in the hop-
per.
The dryer’s closed-loop design ensures a continuous supply of hot, dehumidified air while
preventing contamination from moisture in the plant.

2opper on a floor stand; the dryer next to it.
3Dryer on the floor, multiple hoppers in central configuration (ResinWorks) with separate
heat source for each hopper.
2 - 2 l D e sc r ip t io n
When supplied for central drying applications,
the W series dryer is not equipped with a
process heater. Therefore, as a central dryer,
the W dryer will only supply dry air to the
hoppers.

Typ i ca l A p p l i ca t io n s( c o n t i n u e d )
The W Series Dryer can be used successfully in applications that require:
•A contamination-free drying environment.
•Drying temperatures within the ranges shown in the following table:
odel Drying Temperature Range
Low temperature (with precooler)* 100° - 150°F {38° - 66°C}
Standard 150° - 240°F {66° - 116°C}
High heat (with aftercooler)* 150° - 375°F {66° - 191°C}
Low-high (with aftercooler & precooler)* 100° - 375°F {38° - 191°C}
* See page 3-13 and Appendix B and C.
•Throughput rates of 150 to 400 lbs {68.1 to 149.2 kg} per hour (some materials can be -
run at a higher rate).
•Dewpoints of -40°F {-40°C}.
Use the aftercooler when:
•You are drying at temperatures over 240°F {116°C}.
•Throughput rates are less than 50% of the dryer’s rated capacity.
•You are pre-drying material at temperatures over 150°F {66°C}
Standard Dryer Features
• Dewpoint monitor / dewpoint control
•Audible and visual alarm
•Temperature setback

THE PROCESS (DRYING) CYCLE
The process blower pulls moist air from the top of the drying hopper. The air
passes through the process filter and aftercooler, then into the desiccant
wheel, where moisture is removed. The dry air is delivered to the hopper
(after it passes through the optional precooler, if installed) where a spreader
cone evenly distributes the air through the material.
H o w I t Wo r ks
The W dryer achieves continuous, closed loop drying by passing air simultaneously through
two heaters and a continuously rotating desiccant wheel.
THE PROCESS (DRYING) CYCLE
The process blower pulls moist air from the top of the drying hopper. The air passes
through the process filter and aftercooler into the desiccant wheel, where moisture is
removed. The now dry air moves through the optional precooler (if installed) and process
heater, where it is heated to the drying temperature selected by the operator. The hot, dry air
is delivered to the hopper where a spreader cone evenly distributes the air through the mate-
rial.
The Cooling Cycle
Regenerated desiccant must be cooled before it rotates back into the process cycle. The
process blower pushes a small amount of air through the cooling section of the desiccant
wheel. The cooling air then passes through the aftercooler and repeats the circuit.
The Regeneration Cycle
The regeneration blower pulls air through the regeneration filter into the dryer’s regeneration
heater. The air is heated to 350° F {177° C} before it is pushed into the “wet” section of the
wheel. The hot air purges moisture from the desiccant. The moist air is blown out the
exhaust at the back of the dryer.

SPECIFICATION NOTES:
*Dryers running at 50 Hz will have 17% less airflow, and a 17% reduction in material throughput.
†When drying below 150°F {66°C} a precooler is required.
‡Temperatures above or below the recommended levels may affect dryer performance.
Tower, chiller or municipal water sources can be used.
Specifications may change without notice. Consult a Conair representative for the most current information.

APPLICATION NOTES:
All dryers are supplied with an aftercooler
as standard. The aftercooler reduces the
temperature of the return air from the dry-
ing hopper, improving the efficiency of the
desiccant. The aftercooler must be connect-
ed with the proper water flow rate and tem-
perature to attain the rated throughput.
W en to use central models
Central dryers do not have process
heaters. These models should be used
when drying multiple materials that
require different drying temperatures.
Central models dehumidify the process
air, which is then heated to the correct
setpoint by a Heater Pack mounted on the
hopper and controlled from the dryer.
W en to use additional filtration
The standard return air cartridge filter is
sized for the airflow of each dryer model
and is suited for most applications. You
should consider adding an optional dust
collector and/or volatile trap if:
● The material contains excessive fines. An
additional dust collector or cyclone will
extend time between filter cleaning.
●The material produces volatiles during
drying which condense into a waxy or
oily residue. A volatile trap will help to
protect the desiccant.

•Volatile trap (only in conjunction with aftercooler) - The volatile trap is recommended if
drying materials that produce volatile that condense into a waxy or oily residue and/or if
the material contains excessive fines.
•recooler - The precooler reduces the temperature of air flow after the desiccant wheel
and before the process heater.
•Filter check - The Filter check sensor will activate a passive alarm when the process
filter is clogged or needs to be replaced.
•Heater current monitor - The heater current monitor measures the total amperage
across both the process and regeneration heaters and the pre-determined power consump-
tion values for the blowers and the control.
•CFM monitor - The CFM monitor measures the cubic feet per minute of airflow across
the inlet/outlet of the process blower.
•DeviceNet or S I communications - Allows the dryer to be networked to industrial con-
trol systems. DeviceNet communications are standard. Alternate communications are
available.
