Kyungwon Machinery Co., Ltd., established in 1968, is a company that competes with Hanshin Machinery Co., Ltd. for the top spot in the domestic industrial air compressor market.

They cover the entire country through their network of 36 distributors in Korea, and are dynamically expanding exports to many overseas regions, including the United States, China, Russia, and Asia.

Every January, Kyungwon holds a workshop gathering together with the CEOs of dealers across the country. This year, it was held on January 12th (Friday).

We, GSA, have a cooperative relationship with Kyungwon to supply OEM refrigeration air dryers, adsorption air dryers, nitrogen generators, oxygen generators, CO2 removal equipment, and hydrogen dryers, and attended the event as a presenter. .

We never skip this event because it is really a good opportunity for all the CEOs of Kyungwon nationwide dealerships to gather in one place to deliver and exchange information.

Through this event, we introduced our new products to the CEOs and had time to ask and answer questions they had while handling our products in the local market.

We introduced the ECO PRO+ refrigeration dryer, which replaced the high-temperature integrated air dryer that we had been selling.

In addition, we introduced why grounding is necessary when applying the main power to the dryer, precautions and coating methods when installing the dryer in a place where corrosive gases are generated, and the combination air dryer with excellent energy saving efficiency.

The ECO PRO+ refrigeration dryer replaced the existing all-in-one refrigeration dryers (HYD-HTN(S)) that our company has been selling for last 20 years.

EcoPro refrigeration dryer is cycling type and it has two or three built-in compressed air filters depending on the model.

The performance of the primary heat exchanger of this dryer has been dramatically improved. So it can provides a stable dew point by efficiently cooling high-temperature compressed air without a built-in aftercooler, which was used in existing high-temperature dryers.

Although the air dryer is a device operated by electricity, you may encounter problems caused by not being grounded. So we reminded them of the importance of this.

If grounding is not done, electric shock may occur due to physical contact in the event of a ground fault or short circuit, and the device may be damaged due to overcurrent or surge.

Additionally, low-voltage noise may cause malfunction of the control PCB, and surges may damage the control PCB, so special attention and caution is required.

Air dryers should not be installed in locations where corrosive gases are constantly generated. If installation is unavoidable, be sure to check the installation location before accepting an order and provide us with information on the installation location, presence or absence of gas generation, ambient temperature, etc. so that the top and bottom coats can be properly done during the dryer manufacturing stage. Even if the product is coated, the warranty period is very short at 6 months.

The main places where corrosive gases are generated are sewage treatment plants (especially basements), food waste treatment plants, ammonia handling areas in hospital basements, plating plants, laundries, restrooms, upper sewers, places with strong salt content on the beach, and around feces on livestock farms. .

In the winter, there are many sites where problems occur due to condensate freezing inside the auto drain built into the dryer.

If the condensate remaining in the auto drain freezes, a large amount of condensate generated while the dryer operates cannot be properly discharged to the outside through the auto drain, resulting in an accident where the condensate flows into the production site.

Therefore, the dryer must be installed in a location where the temperature does not drop below 0 degrees Celsius in winter.

Also, when connecting the auto drain discharge hose, it is important to install each discharge hose independently as shown in the picture on the left..

We explained that factories that use large amounts of compressed air can achieve significant energy savings by using our combination air dryer.

In the case of a steel manufacturing company that we recently delivered to, the site used a large amount of compressed air at 20,000 Nm3 per hour.

We shared with them a case in which we saved about 440 million won (USD400,000) in annual electricity bills with a 77% energy savings compared to using only a simple heating and adsorption dryer.

We handed out to them a 64G USB memory with our logo engraved on it.

The USB memory contains the company’s latest product catalogs, datasheets for each model, external drawings, electrical drawings, and videos showing the operating principles of each product in 3D, so that they can be used immediately in their marketing.

No matter how well the air dryer works, if the automatic drain trap that automatically discharges condensate does not work properly, the air dryer becomes useless because the moisture flows straight into the production site.

In fact, many of the air dryer problems that occur in the field are due to auto drain problems.

After completing development and field testing in 2023, it is currently being applied to our refrigerated dryers.

Since it is a small but very important part, we provided two samples free of charge to each dealership so that they could experience it for themselves.

As above, I have shared with you about our attendance at the 2024 Kyungwon’s National Distributor Workshop.

Thank you very much for your reading.
