Section 3.0 – DRYER INSTALLATION

NEVER work on unit under pressure

NEVER work on unit when power is connected.

DO NOT over pressurize unit.

DO NOT pass air through the unit until it has been stabilized (operating 2 - 15 minutes).
The larger the dryer, the longer it takes to stabilize. Let unit cycle 2 – 3 times to stabilize.
Plumbing the Air Lines
The dryers are shipped ready to run. All connections are made to the outside of the cabinet.
Air piping
must be supported independently of the dryer.
Direction of the air flow must be observed for proper installation. (Fig. 1)


Use unions or flange joints on inlet and outlet pipe connections. (Fig. 2)

If vibration is present, flexible metal hoses must be installed to prevent the vibration
from being
transmitted to the dryer.

Install a bypass line and gate valve to permit isolation of the dryer from the air system. This is
done to provide easy service and/or removal of the dryer without interruption of air to the system.
