It is a good idea to monitor the dewpoint performance of your dryer periodically with a cali-
brated portable dewpoint monitor, to ensure it is performing at maximum capacity. Even if
your dryer has a dewpoint readout, comparing it to a portable instrument periodically will
confirm that the dewpoint sensor and readout is performing properly.
To check dewpoint:
1
Connect your portable dewpoint meter to the dew-
point check port of the dryer.
2
Turn on the portable instrument,
and ensure there is
positive airflow through the sensor.
3
Monitor the readout and allow ample time for it to stabilize before disconnecting it.
Some dewpoint monitors require a substantial amount of time for residual moisture to be
purged from the sensor.
4
In the event the dewpoint in not satisfactory,
refer to the
Troubleshooting section
of
the manual.
Alternate Procedure: (for dryers with no dewpoint check port)
1
Stop dryer and allow it to cool.
2
Open the right side panel of the dryer,
and locate the process heater tube.
3
At the bottom end (cool air inlet) of the process heater tube, remove 1/8 inch NPT
pipe plug and connect your portable dewpoint monitor at this location.
If there are
existing connections for the dryer’s dewpoint sensor, locate a 2nd 1/8 inch NPT port, or
connect your dewpoint sensor in series with the dryer sensor. Do not install a tee to split
the air between the dryer’s sensor and your portable instrument. This may cause one of
them to be starved for adequate sample air.
4
Turn on the dryer.
5
Turn on the portable instrument,
and ensure there is positive airflow through the
sensor.
6
Monitor the readout and allow ample time for it to stabilize before disconnecting
the portable instrument.
Some dewpoint monitors require a substantial amount of time
for residual moisture to be purged from the sensor.
7
In the event the dewpoint is not satisfactory,
refer to the
Troubleshooting section
of the
manual.
8
Stop the dryer, and allow it to cool down.
Then disconnect your portable instrument
and replace any pipe plugs that may have been removed.
9
Close side panels and start the dryer.
