2. Handling Precaution
Air Supply
Caution
1. Compressed air supply capacity.
Air source, which have supply capacity more than "required
outlet air flow rate (dry air flow rate) + purge air flow rate" is
required. See the purge air flow rate diagram on the catalog
for the purge air flow rate.
2. Chemical substances, which have an adverse
effect on the product.
The chemical substances stated in the table below can
reduce the performance or damage the equipment. Do not
use in an environment containing these chemical substances.
Type
Substances which must not be present
Solutions
Acetone, benzene, phenol, toluene, trichlen,
xylene, cresol, thinner, aniline, chloroform,
chlorobenzene, trichloroethane, ethyl benzene,
ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA),
hexafluoroisopropanol,
dioxane, tetraohydrohuran, methylene chloride,
cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride,
methyl ketone, ethyl ketone, etc.
Acids Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic
acid, lactic acid, chromic acid, etc.
Gases Chlorine gas, sulfurous acid gas, hydrogen sulfide,
bromine,
ozone, ammonia, etc.
Oils Phosphate ester type hydraulic fluid, fuel oil,
aqueous cutting oil (alkaline), kerosene, etc.
Strong
base
type
Lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium
hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.

Operating Environment
Caution
1. Do not operate the product at temperature
outside the operating temperature range ( fluid
and ambient temperature) of the specifications.
The membrane module (element) of this product is resin.
Operation at high temperature will lead to damage of the
membrane module. Especially when the product is installed
after the reciprocation air compressor, be sure to check that
the fluid temperature is not outside of the operating
condition range.
2. Inlet air temperature should be lower than
ambient temperature.
When this product is cooled by ambient air, water droplets
accumulate inside. It may cause the decrease of
dehumidification performance or flowing water droplets to
the secondly side of this product.
3.
Maintenance
Maintenance
Warning
1. Do not remove parts or piping while pressure is
applied to the product.
During maintenance, set air pressure to zero.
Caution
1. Mount pressure gauge.
During a maintenance, mount pressure gauges to both inlet /
outlet sides for confirming the residual pressure.
2. Standard replacement period.
As a guideline the unit should be replaced after 10 years of
use (10 hours/day).
3. Membrane module cannot be replaced by part.
Replace the whole product when replacement is necessary.
