Desiccant Replacement
SAR COLUMN ARRANGEMENT
A4.2.1 GENERAL
Each extrusion consists of 2 E-shaped chambers containing a total of 15kg of desiccant material. Sullair
suggests a performance life of 10,000 - 30,000 hours, however, many factors can influence this nominal
figure which should only be used as a guide. Accurate dewpoint monitoring with a hygrometer is the only true
indication of the desiccant condition ( consult Sullair).
The upper manifold can be replaced as described in section A2 .
