Installation
103
1. Install the Air Dryer Filter as described in the instructions that are included with
the filter.
2. Locate the air hose (Part No. N0770348, which uses 1/4-in. Swagelok fittings at
each end). Connect the air hose from the air compressor to the AIR IN fitting on
the Air Dryer Filter using a 1/4-in. space collar at both ends. Make sure the air
flow is in the proper direction, as indicated by arrows on top of the filters.
3. Locate the second air hose (Part No. N0770348, uses 1/4-in. Swagelok fittings
at each end) that is shipped with the instrument in the hose kit. Connect the air
hose from the AIR OUT fitting on the Air Dryer Filter using a 1/4-in. space
collar at both ends.
Setting the Shear Gas Pressure
The following procedure describes how to set the shear gas pressure when using the
PerkinElmer Air Dryer Filter.
1. Make sure the shut-off valve on the Air Dryer Filter is closed (knob turned fully
clockwise), then set the air pressure on the air compressor to between 550 kPa
and 825 kPa (5.5 to 8.25 bar or 80-120 psig).
2. Check that the metal covers are in position on the filter bowls and the filter bowl
holding rings are properly locked.
Do not set the air compressor pressure higher than 690 kPa (100 psig). The
maximum pressure and temperature that the filter bowls can withstand is 1035
kPa (150 psig) at 50 °C (125 °F). At a higher pressure, the filter bowls can be
blown off and cause injury.
Avertissement: Ne pas régler la pression du compresseur d'air supérieure à 690
kPa (100 psig). La pression et la température maximale que les cuvettes de filtre
peut supporter est de 1035 kPa (150 psi) à 50 ° C (125 ° F). Lors d'une pression
plus élevée, les bols de filtre peuvent être arrachés et causer des blessures.
