The aftercooler coils will need to be kept clean to keep the aftercooler working efficiently.
Cleaning frequency depends on the type and amount of material you process.
1
Stop the dryer and lockout the main power.
2
Turn off the water flow to the water supply
line.
Disconnect supply and return lines.
NOTE: If an optional flow control was added with the aftercooler, remove the compression fitting
from the aftercooler inlet. Loosen the fitting on the flow control, then swing the copper water
supply tube out and away from the aftercooler inlet.
3
Remove the screws securing the aftercooler in the aftercooler housing.
✒
TIP: If the aftercooler (without a flow control) was installed using the recommended
24 inch {61 cm} of flexible hoses, there is no need to disconnect the hoses from the
aftercooler inlet and outlet.
4
Remove the aftercooler assembly from the aftercooler housing.
5
Clean the assembly using a mild soap and water. Let the assembly dry thoroughly
before installation. In severe situations, steam cleaning or use of solvents maybe neces-
sary.
CAUTION: During the cleaning process, DO NOT cut or remove the stainless steel wire that
holds the assembly together.
6
Inspect the condition of the gasket. If it is damaged, replace the gasket.
7
Reassemble by repeating the steps in reverse order.
8
Connect the water supply line to the inlet. If a manual shut off valve is used, it
should be mounted on the inlet line as well.
9
Connect the outlet of the aftercooler to the inlet of the flow control valve using the
pre-shaped copper tubing and compression fittings provided.
