Medium Flow Compressed Air Dryers - IOMI.
LOCATING THE EQUIPMENT
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Environment
The equipment should be located indoors in an environment that protects it from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust. Changes in
temperature, humidity, and airborne pollution will affect the environment in which the equipment is operating and may impair the
safety and operation. It is the customers' responsibility to ensure that the environmental conditions specified for the equipment are
maintained.
Space Requirements
The equipment should be mounted on a flat surface capable of supporting its own weight plus the weight of all ancillary parts. There
must be adequate space around the equipment to allow airflow and access for maintenance purposes and lifting equipment. A
minimum spacing of approximately 500mm (20 ins) is recommended around all sides of the dryer and 750mm (29.5 ins) above it for
the removal of the desiccant cartridges.
Do Not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate or disconnect from the electrical supply.
General Requirements
Ensure that each condensate drain is suitably piped away and any effluent is disposed of in a legal and responsible manner and
in accordance with local environmental regulations. Condensate drain lines should never be connected together - connect to a
common, vented condensate manifold. Condensate drain lines should be of large internal diameter and short length to eliminate
back pressure which would prevent drainage of condensate. Condensate discharged from water separator and filter float drains will
lose pressure once it enters the piping. Installing drain lines at height will result in a failure to remove condensate and loss of dryer
dewpoint.
Important Notes:
• Dryer performance may be degraded and warranty will be invalid if above requirements are not followed.
• It is important to ensure that all inlet and outlet piping materials are suitable for the application, clean and debris free.
• The internal diameter of the inlet and outlet piping must be sufficient to allow an unrestricted air flow into and out of the
equipment .
• When routing, the piping, ensure that they are adequately supported to prevent damage and leaks in the system.
Warning
The system must be protected with a suitably rated
thermal pressure relief valve.
