9.4 Installation
•
Adsorption dryer should be installed in such a way that it is protected from
environmental influences (compressor station).
•
Install the dryer in the area where people are normally not present because of noise
emissions.
•
Make sure that the adsorption dryer is protected against vibrations and other
mechanical stress.
•
Adsorption dryer should stand firmly on the horizontal surface. The inclination of the
unit must not exceed ±5°,
see picture (9.1) . If system is not installed correctly it could
not be working properly. Best way to achieve this requirement is by screwing the
adsorption dryer to such a surface through the appropriate openings on consoles.
See
pictures (9.2) and (9.3) for openings layout. It is recommended that you use four
M10 bolts or screws.
•
It is recommended to include shut-off valve with removable coupling at the air inlet
and outlet for easier maintenance.
•
Install a condensate separator and a pre-filter at the inlet side and an after-filter at
the outlet side (for more information see the Additional Equipment section).
•
Additionally check that upstream from the dryer sufficient air treatment is provided
(e.g. aftercooler, cyclone separator, filter, condensate drains …)
•
Remove caps/plugs from the inlet and the outlet of the dryer.
•
Connect the air supply to the inlet of the dryer.
•
Connect the downstream piping line to the outlet of the filter.
•
It is recommended to make a bypass line.
•
Connection to electric power should be done by a qualified expert. Make sure the
voltage and the frequency on the mains correspond to the data on the type plate of
the dryer. (±5% tolerance is acceptable for voltage)
•
Connect the dryer to electric power. It is obligatory to provide connection to the
ground terminal.
•
After the installation or maintenance the DRY adsorption dryer must be checked for
leakage.
•
Regulate the operating pressure so it matches with the specified operating pressure
value.
•
During normal operation loud noise (depending on the dryer size up to 100dB) can be
generated. Persons responsible for installation and the end user are responsible for
correct installation of the dryer in order to prevent excessive noise emissions to the
work environment. The installer and the end user are also responsible to install the
proper safety signs at the installation site.
•
Remove any packaging and other material which could obstruct the normal
operation of the dryer.
