Kintronic LAB9.50 Automatic Dehydrator

Kintronic LAB9.50 Automatic Dehydrator

The LAB series dehydrators are programmed to maintain a single target pressure level. The unit is comprised of two alternating diaphragm pumps that are driven to operate below their maximum flow rate.
While the first chamber is active, the desiccant in the second chamber is regenerated through heating and back-washing with a small reverse dry air flow. The pumps are controlled electronically by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), supplying a flow rate equivalent to the real time leakage rate. With the PWM control, there is an imperceptible vibration of the diaphragm pump. Maintaining the target pressure level eliminates the need for a pressure regulator, which means no pressure losses and an overall better response to flow regulation. Through this design, the dehydrator avoids the stress of continuously switching on at maximum speed and then switching off. Additionally, there are no mechanical parts in movement (except the diaphragm pumps) and no solenoid valves, thus reducing overall wear. The result is an increased MTBF and overall lifetime of the unit, as well as reduced noise and power consumption.

Optional Features:
 Remote control through SNMP protocol and HTTP interface by a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interface
 Digital flowmeter that displays real-time leakage rate on front LCD display panel
