PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR START-UP OF DRYER,

THIS ENTIRE MANUAL SHOULD BE READ & UNDER-

STOOD.

A. INSPECTION:

All Dryers are tested and inspected at the factory prior to

shipping. Inspect the dryer carefully upon arrival and note

any damage on the freight bill. Uncrate and inspect for

concealed damage. File claims with the carrier immediately

and notify AIRTEK sales department.

B. DRYER LOCATION:

Locate the dryer in an area accessible for maintenance.

The area should be clean, cool, well lighted, and have a

level, vibration free floor. Ambient temperature should be

between 35ºF and 100ºF. Dryer should have a minimum

36" clearance on all sides. See dimensional print for

specific clearance requirements.

C. INSTALLATION: (See typical installation drawing)

Make the following connections:

1. Inlet piping, including an isolation valve.

2. Outlet piping, including an isolation valve.

3. Coalescing Pre-filter and Particulate After-filter.

4. Auto Drain on Pre-filter.

5. Bypass piping if desired. A bubble tight valve

should be used for bypass.

6. Make required electrical connections to control box.

Refer to applicable drawings. Note: Customer to

provide short circuit protection for dryer.

7. Access ports should be provided upstream and

downstream of the dryer for dewpoint, pressure and

temperature checks.

8. All piping should be adequately supported and at

least of equal size to the dryer connections.

9. To reduce maintenance & increase dryer efficiency,

the exhaust ports can be piped to a location where the

exhaust mufflers are not required.

NOTE: All piping & electrical connections should be checked

to insure they have maintained their integrity during shipping

and installation.

IMPORTANT! Desiccant dryers are designed to remove

water VAPOR only!

The air to be dried must pass through a Coalescing Pre-

filter for removal of entrained condensate and oil to prevent

fouling of the desiccant. Liquid condensate entering the bed

will lead to overloading of the dryer, poor dew point perfor-

mance, & rapid deterioration of the desiccant. Oil entering

the desiccant bed may permanently reduce the capacity of

the desiccant.

An Automatic Drain is required on the Pre-filter and all other

upstream collection points to remove condensate.

A Particulate After-filter should be provided to prevent

desiccant dust from traveling down stream. Desiccant dust

may cause contamination & excessive wear to equipment.

Before any attempt is made to operate the AIRTEK dryer,

AIRTEK

the operator should thoroughly read and understand this

instruction manual. Improper operation will cause poor

results from the dryer.

Periodic checking of the dewpoint just downstream of the

dryer is the best indication of whether the dryer is perform-

ing as expected. For a rough indication of performance a

Color Change Moisture Indicator is provided as standard

equipment. The indicator will be green when the outlet air

is dry, and white when the outlet air is wet. Optionally

available is a High Humidity Alarm or a PowerLoc (Digital

Dewpoint Monitor & Demand Cycle Controller).

A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Failure to observe any

of the following precautions could result in severe bodily

harm and/or damage to equipment.

Use EXTREME CAUTION when working in the vicinity

of the dryer.

Relieve pressure before servicing dryer or associated

equipment.

Disconnect power before servicing dryer.

Use ear and eye protection when in the vicinity of the

dryer or exhaust ports, especially if the dryer is being

operated without mufflers. Even when mufflers are

used, a tower blowing down to atmosphere will raise

particles, create more noise than during "normal"

operation and may startle an individual not used to this

portion of the operation.

In the case of an overpressure situation there is a

safety relief valve on each tower designed to protect

the equipment. If these end up pointed in a hazardous

direction after dryer installation, they should be piped

to a safe location

Automatic or manual drain valves will eject water, oil,

particles and air under partial pressure when operated.

Proper precautions must be taken.

Condensate drainage from compressed air systems

may contain oil or other contaminants. Follow all

applicable regulations for safe handling and disposal.

Various component failures could theoretically cause

large air loss and subsequent pressure drop. Preven-

tive maintenance should be performed to reduce the

likelihood of this. If this occurs, bypass the dryer

immediately to restore flow and pressure.

Activated Alumina dust is considered a nuisance dust.

Proper precautions should be taken when handling

desiccant. For more information and for other types of

desiccant, refer to applicable Material Safety Data

Sheet.

For disposal of used desiccant refer to the applicable

Material safety Data sheet and all applicable regula-

tions. Note that desiccant contaminated with oil or

other foreign substances may be covered under

disposal regulations for the contaminant.
