Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document supersedes GB/T 10893.1-2012 "Compressed Air Dryers - Part 1: Specifications and Tests" and GB/T 10893.2-2006.
"Compressed Air Dryers - Part 2: Performance Parameters". This document is based on GB/T 10893.1-2012, and integrates GB/T 10893.2-the content of 2006.Compared with GB/T 10893.1-2012, apart from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
---The scope has been changed (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2012 edition);
---Terms and definitions that were defined in the referenced documents have been removed (see Chapter 3, Chapter 3 of the 2012 edition);
---Added solutions suitable for the operating conditions of compression heat dryers (see Table 2);
---Added conditions suitable for the stability of compression heat dryers (see 7.2);
---The requirement for pressure drop has been increased (see 7.3).
This document is modified to adopt ISO 7183:2007 "Compressed air dryers - Specification and testing".
This document has undergone significant structural adjustments compared to ISO 7183:2007.A table comparing the structural numbering changes between the two documents is provided.
See Appendix A.
This document differs significantly from ISO 7183:2007 in several technical aspects. The relevant clauses are indicated in vertical single-line margins.
The lines (|) are marked. A summary of these technical differences and their reasons can be found in Appendix B.
The following editorial changes have been made to this document.
---GB/T 13277.1-2023 has replaced ISO 8573-1:2001;
---Notes in Table 1 have been deleted;
---The word "PAV" in formula (1) has been changed to "PEAv";
---Changed "qsum" to "Vsum" in formula (6);
---GB/T 4889 has replaced ISO 2854;
---The title of Appendix C has been changed;
---Added C.1 overview;
--- Annex D (Informative) of ISO 7183:2007 concerning pressure tube measurement has been removed;
---Added operating condition A3 in Table D.1, replacing ISO 3744 and ISO 9614-2 with GB/T 4980;
---Appendix E (Informative) has been added, providing instructions on the locations for pressure, temperature, and pressure dew point measurements;
---Added Appendix G (Informative) Dryer Data Summary Table.
