2-5 Safety Features
This section includes information on safety devices and procedures that are inherent to the
10 cfm compressed air dryer. This manual is not intended to supersede or alter safety
standards established by the user of this equipment. Instead, the material contained in this
section is recommended to supplement these procedures in order to provide a safer
working environment.
Safety Circuit Standards
Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel
from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for
servicing equipment.
Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to
the design and manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial Council (JIC) are just a few of the
organizations that have joined with the plastics industry to develop safety standards.
Every effort has been made to incorporate these standards into the design of the dryer;
however, it is the responsibility of the personnel operating and maintaining the equipment
to familiarize themselves with the safety procedures and the proper use of any safety
devices.
High Temperature Safety System
A high temperature safety system will disable the dryer if the process temperature is too
hot. The high temperature safety is designed so that if it fails, the failure causes a “safe”
condition, and the dryer will not run. The compressed air continues flowing to cool down
the system.
Airflow monitoring Safety System
If the airflow source to the compressed air dryer is below 35 PSI, the unit will shut down and
not run. This is an indication that there is not enough pressure and flow for proper
operation of the unit.
