Intended use of the dryer
The dryer is exclusively intended for drying compressed air. Depending on defi ned input
conditions, it dries compressed air for industrial use.
The dryer is designed for compressed air, which is free from aggressive water, oil, and solid
matter constituents.
Note:
Never operate the dryer without upstream fi lter. For this reason, the operator
must install an appropriate upstream fi lter (degree of fi ltration < 0.01 μm, resi-
dual oil contents < 0.001 mg/m³).
We recommend that you install an additional downstream fi lter to protect the
downstream compressed air network against desiccant residues.
Suitable fi lter solutions can be obtained from the manufacturer.
As standard, the dryer is intended to be sited within a building and protected against the we-
ather. When it is sited in the open air (option), the instructions on page 18 must be complied
with.
The dryer may be operated only in accordance with the data on the type plate and in accor-
dance with the contractual conditions.
Suspected misuse
The dryer must not be misused as a climbing aid! Pipes, valves, and similar fi ttings have not
been designed for such loads. They could fracture, tear off, or become damaged in another
way.
General safety notes
For your own safety, when carrying out any work on the dryer comply with all
applicable national safety regulations!
Personnel qualifi cation
Only authorized and qualifi ed specialist personnel may be tasked with the work on the dryer
described in these operating instructions. The electropneumatic switch cabinet in particular
must be opened and serviced by an instructed trained electrician only..
Conversions and modifi cations
Without prior approval by the manufacturer, no conversions and modifi cations must be made
to the dryer! Any non-approved modifi cations may restrict the operational safety of the dryer
and cause damage to property or personal injury.
Notes on desiccant handling
The used desiccant is perfectly safe when new. Increased dust formation can nevertheless
occur when desiccant is fi lled into or removed from a vessel . Therefore, heed the following
hints:
◊ Wear a dust mask and eye protection when fi lling desiccant into the vessels!
◊ Collect spilt desiccant immediately! There is a risk of injury from slipping on spilt desiccant!
Note:
For information on how to dispose of used desiccant refer to page 12.
