3.1 Condenser coil—
Clean off accumulated dust and dirt monthly or as
necessary in dirty environments.
3.2 Moisture separator/Filter and optional Oil
Removal Filter—
Replace filter element when pressure drop across
dryer is excessive or annually.
3.3 Check separator daily to be sure automatic
drain is discharging.
3.4 Replace or rebuild drain mechanism annually.
To facilitate service, maintenance kits are available.
Please refer to page 11.
3.0 Maintenance
Sizing
Determining dryer capacity at actual operating
conditions
To determine the maximum inlet flow capacity of a dryer
at various operating conditions, multiply the rated
capacity from Table 1 by the multipliers shown in Table 2.
Example:
How many scfm can an air-cooled model
RPD100 handle when compressed air to be dried is at 80
psig and 90
°
F; ambient air temperature is 80
°
F; and a
38
°
F dew point temperature is desired?
Answer:
100 x 1.17 x 1.12 x 1.0 = 131 scfm.
