9.3 Installation Procedure
•
Typically dryer B-DRY is supplied on a standard pallet and fixed to the pallet by four
screws.
•
Dryer B-DRY must only be lifted using lifting lugs on the top of each vessel.
•
Remove the screws and the pallet to position the dryer to the desired location.
•
Adsorption dryer should be installed in such a way that it is protected from
environmental influences (example of proper installation would be a compressor
station).
•
Install the dryer in the area where people are normally not present because of noise
emissions.
•
It is recommended to leave 1 m space around the dryer.
•
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 ±3°. 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 the legs. Fixing the dryer by screws
is not obligatory.
•
Compressed air pipelines (refers to the installation upstream and downstream from
the dryer) must be provided with proper shut-off valves which enable the dryer to be
independently installed or removed from the system.
•
Install a super fine coalescing filter at the inlet side and an after-filter at the outlet side
(only if dryer is not supplied with filters).
•
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 B-DRY adsorption dryer must be checked for
leakage.
•
Regulate the operating pressure so it matches with the value specified on the dryer
typeplate (SET FOR x bar).
•
During normal operation loud noise (approximately 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.
