8、worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
9、 on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are draft
10、ed in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Stan
11、dard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 7183 was prepared by
12、 Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors and pneumatic tools, machines and equipment, Subcommittee SC 4, Quality of compressed air. This second edition of ISO 7183 revises and replaces the first edition (ISO 7183:1986), together with ISO 7183-2:1996, which have been technically revised. BS ISO 7
13、183:2007 v Introduction The scope has been expanded to cover most current types of dryers but also to allow the use of this International Standard and its test methods for any emerging technologies. Any new technologies can then be incorporated at a later revision. Exclusions to this International S
14、tandard are generally identified by reference to the definition of a dryer. Specific exclusions have been identified, however, for absorption dryers and dryer processes involving “over- compression” as the means of removing water from compressed air. The process of over-compression employs the princ
15、iple that water can be removed by compressing the air to a pressure higher than the intended working pressure thereby forcing out the water from the compressed air and then subsequently expanding the air back to the working pressure. Absorption dryers are now considered to be of minor importance as
16、a drying technique and are, therefore, not considered in this International Standard. BS ISO 7183:2007blank 1 Compressed-air dryers Specifications and testing 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the performance data that are necessary to state and applicable test methods for different type
17、s of compressed air dryers. It is applicable to compressed air dryers working with an effective (gauge) pressure of more than 50 kPa (0,5 bar), but less than or equal to 1 600 kPa (16 bar) and include the following: adsorption dryers; membrane dryers; refrigeration dryers (including drying by coolin
18、g); or a combination of these. NOTE A description of the principles of operation of the dryers within the Scope of this International Standard is given in Annex A. This International Standard identifies test methods for measuring dryer parameters that include the following: pressure dew point; flow
19、rate; pressure drop; compressed-air loss; power consumption; noise emission. This International Standard also provides partial-load tests for determining the performance of energy saving devices or measures. The mounting, operating and loading conditions of dryers for the measurement of noise are gi
20、ven in Annex C. This International Standard is not applicable to the following types of dryers or drying processes: absorption dryers; drying by over-compression; integral dryers.

BS ISO 7183:20076 7 Performance tests 7.1 Key performance parameters Data for the following key performance parameters are required for all compressed air dryers when stating or rating product performance and for making comparisons of al
44、ternative dryers: pressure dew point; flow rate; pressure drop; power consumption; system air loss; outlet temperature; noise emission. Measurement of the inlet pressure and temperature should be done at the dryer inlet in order to avoid errors caused by cooling or pressure drop between the measurem
45、ent point and inlet whilst operating at full rated conditions. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to supply the required data in Annex B. For all performance tests, the inlet air purity should be in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2001, class 4, for oil and class 4 for particles and the humidit
46、y shall be in accordance with Table 2 of this International Standard. If the dryer under test requires pre-filtration to operate reliably with this inlet air purity then these filters shall be included in all tests. 7.2 Pressure dew point, flow rate and outlet temperature Measurement of the pressure
47、 dew point should be done at the stated rated flow of the dryer using the standard rating parameters selected from Table 2. Measurement of the pressure dew point of the outlet air shall be in accordance with ISO 8573-3. Discharge temperature should also be measured. Test equipment should be arranged
48、 as shown in Figure 1 however the arrangement may vary depending on the type of dryer being tested.
