The dam pressure should not exceed 0.3 bar, otherwise read the instructions
on page 42.
During the pressure build-up phase the indication on the pressure gauge
should again rise to operating overpressure level.
Emergency shutdown
To emergency shut-down the dryer heed to the following instructions:
► Close shut off valves upstream and downstream of the dryer (if applicable)
► Disconnect the electrical power supply (i.e. by switching the
ON/Off
switch to
0
).
The dryer is now off-line.
► If applicable, depressurise the dryer now.
Before re-commissioning the dryer ensure that the emergency situation has been
solved and that the dryer is not damaged.
Never commission a damaged dryer!
Start up dryer
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffler:
A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
Particles carried in the air flow act like bullets and can injure
your eyes or skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the
vicinity of the dryer!
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the dryer, or manipulate the same in any way,
for as long as the plant is still pressurised! A sudden escape of pressure
may cause serious injuries.
Before carrying out any work on the dryer, first depressurise the plant.
The more powerful the dryer is, the more noise may be generated during
operation. Therefore, the operator must provide suitable protective equipment
(e. g. ear protection).
Only operate the dryer within the permissible limits. By operating the dryer in
conditions for which it has not been designed, functional faults may be
caused.
Depending on the size of the dryer and the compressed air network and the
respective legal requirements in your country, it may be necessary to perform
initialisation according to the directive for pressure equipment.
Check the dryer regularly for externally visible damage and defects. Any
changes, even in its operating behaviour, must be reported immediately to
the competent office or person.
