Connect piping
In order to ensure that the adsorber operates optimally, the adsorber must be assembled into
the compressed air system free of all stresses.
Ensure before connection that all infeed and outfeed compressed air lines and valves are
clean and undamaged.
Check the bolt connections and retighten if necessary, as they could have worked loose
during transportation.
Remove plugs on the pressure inlet and outlet.
All piping must be free from any stress and tension whatever!
Pipes subject to stress may burst due to the load placed on them during opera-
tion. This may cause damage to property and personal injury.
Use steel pipes to connect the adsorber to the compressed air system.
The following fi gure shows an installation example.

The feeding connection lines are to be installed at a slight incline in the direction of the
adsorber.
One shutdown valve each (2, 7) is to be installed at the compressed air inlet and outlet
ends of the adsorber.
A relief valve (6) is to be installed after the absorber.
If you fi t a bypass line (9) with additional shutdown valve:
Fit the line such that, when carrying out maintenance work on the adsorber, the line system
can continue to be supplied with compressed air.
