IDFA6E-20 2-2 2-2 Installation
IDX-OM-W089
2 - 2 - 2 Anchorage
•
The air dryer should be installed on a vibration-free, stable, horizontal, flat surface.
•
Refer to “Chapter6 6-3 Dimensions” for the dimensions.
•
The air dryer should be bolted by anchor bolts to prevent falling. We recommend the anchor bolt sets
that
2 - 2 - 3 Air piping
•
Connection to the inlet and outlet of compressed air should be made removable by using union and so on.
•
Pressing the hexagonal fitting with screw wrench and so on, connect the air piping fittings to the body.
•
When mounting any part such as an air filter on the fitting at the compressed air inlet or outlet port, support the
part to prevent excessive force from being applied to the product.
•
Be careful not to let the vibration of the air compressor transmit.
•
If the temperature of compressed air on the inlet side is higher than 50
o
C, place an aftercooler after the air
co0mpressor. Or, make the temperature of the place where the air compressor is installed lower than 50
o
C.
•
Flash the piping sufficiently in order to avoid any foreign substances such as dust, sealing tape, liquid gasket, etc.
when piping before piping connection foreign substances in the piping can cause cooling failure or drainage
failure.
•
Use pipes and fittings that have enough endurance against the operating pressure and temperature. And
connect it firmly to prevent air leakage.
•
Provide bypass piping to make it possible to do maintenance without stopping the air compressor.
If a metallic flexible tubing is used for the air gateway piping, the allophone might be generated in piping. In that
case, please change to the piping of the steel pipe.
•
Please set up the filter in the drier secondary for the drain dispersion prevention when a rapid pressure
fluctuation and the fluid velocity variation happen.
2 - 2 - 4 Drain Tube
•
A polyurethane tube of 10mm external diameter is attached to the drain tube. The outlet end of the tube is
released to atmosphere. And let drain flow through the tube into a scupper and so on.
•
Using the pressure of the compressed air, drain will be discharged periodically. Fix the outlet end of the tube so
as not to swing during discharge.
•
Prevent the drain tube from riser piping.
•
Prevent the drain tube from being folded or flatted. Since the drain tube is coming from the bottom of the body,
be careful to avoid the body from stomping over the tube during installation.
Warning
During drain work, follow the procedure that you define to keep the safety of worker (ex. Put on
protective glass, apron, and gloves).
In case that oil gets mixed in the wasted water that is discharged from the auto drain, the waste liquid treatment
is necessary. Handle it following the bylaw or regulation of local government.
We recommend the bypass piping sets that
we are selling separately as accessories.
