4.1.3
Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all BAUER purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 4.1-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the
safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety bore
remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.
4.1.4
Manual Condensate Drainage
The condensate must be drained from the oil and water separator before changing any cartridge, before
beginning each filling procedure and in the absence of an Automatic Condensate Drain System, every fif-
teen minutes during the filling procedure. This is done by slowly opening the condensate drain valves.
They are opened approximately 1/3 of a turn to the left and held open until the condensate is completely
drained. The condensate drain valves close by spring pressure but if necessary may be tightened by hand
to ensure they are completely air tight.
