DEHUMIDIFIER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CABINET:
Standard cap screw fasteners are used to attach all service panels. All access covers, hardware, and
screws should be secured after any servicing activity. Care should be taken not to over-tighten and deform
panels.
The condition of the access panel gasket should be observed during inspection and servicing to insure a
good seal. Any leaks must be sealed for proper dehumidifier operation.
DESICCANT MEDIA:
The Brysorb Plus desiccant media supplied with the dehumidifier will last indefinitely under ideal
conditions. Due to the nature of desiccants they make very good filters. The life of the desiccant is directly
related to the airborne contaminates passed through it. Atmospheric contaminants, exposure to acidic
gases/or air streams, and contact with petroleum based airborne particles can reduce the efficiency of the
desiccant media. Although the desiccant media is considered a cleanable/washable media, the preferred
method of cleaning is to blow dust out with compressed air and to reactivate the media at 350
°
F (max) for
15 minutes. Washing the media is not recommended as wash water impurities may contaminate the
desiccant. Proper filtration and preventing contact with chemicals will greatly improve the life of the
desiccant. Inspect the face of the media to see that no surface damage has occurred. If damage is noticed
please contact Bry-Air for assistance.
The media should turn smoothly upon the shaft, if not check the bearings in the media.
Seals:
All of the silicone "A" seals which separate the process and reactivation compartments are manufactured
specifically for Bry-Air. Normally, the seals will not require service or replacement. However, should
damage occur, or if poor performance as the result of an air leak is suspected, the following test must be
performed to determine whether the seals should be replaced:
TEST:
1.
Turn the unit off and remove access panel.
2.
Visually inspect for gaps between the desiccant media and the seal and adjust as required to close
gaps.
3.
Slide a semi-rigid piece of thick paper or thin piece of cardboard (I.e. business card) between the
desiccant media and the seal. If the material slides through with little or no restriction the seal needs
replaced.
