Air Filtration and Refrigerated Air Dryer (cont’d)
As previously noted, the Separator Filter should be located between the Compressor and the Refrigerated Dryer.
It contains a 10 micron Separator Element which protects the Dryer Unit by removing liquids and solid particles 10
microns and larger.
To replace a dirty Filter Element:
•
Shut the Compressor Unit off.
•
Bleed any compressed air from the system to ensure there is no pressure at the Filter.
•
Unscrew the Bowl from the assembly, exposing the dirty Filter Element.
•
Twist the Filter Element until it comes loose.
•
Replace with a new Filter Element
•
Clean any debris from the inside of the Bowl, and re-install.
•
Needle Type Gauge will return to
blue
when Filter is once again under pressure.
