6.2 Installation proposal
General
The dryer is intended for indoor use and should be placed at least under a roof (protected
against sun, wind and rain). The minimum ambient temperature mentioned on the data
plate must be respected. See section
Limitations for operation .
Install the dryer on a solid, level floor, suitable for taking its weight.
Foresee sufficient free space (minimum 800 mm (2.6 ft)) around the dryer and above the
dryer for servicing purposes. Consult the
Dimension drawings .
Provide sufficient space under the filter elements in order to be able to replace the filter
cartridges without the need having to disassemble the piping.
Make sure that all pipes, filters, valves, etc. are clean and that they are installed correctly
with or without bypass system.
Make sure that the piping is installed stressless.
For more information concerning air nets, cooling systems etc. refer to the compressor
installation manual.
Instructions
To ensure correct operation of the dryer, it has to be fitted properly into the compressed air
circuit, consisting of the compressor, the dryer and the application.
• Water separator (3) : A high efficiency water separator removes 90 % of the free water in the
compressed air. If not mounted in the compressor, a water separator needs to be installed
between the compressor and the air receiver or the dryer inlet filter (whichever comes first).
• It is recommended to install a general purpose inlet filter upstream of the dryer to remove
liquid oil.
A high efficiency filter (4) (delivered with the dryer (5)) removes particles from the
compressed air down to 0.01 micron and removes the remaining oil (maximum oil carry-over
of 0.01 ppm).
