7.1.5. Permeation rate measurement
NOTICE
The device is subjected to operating pressure and electrical voltage
While performing maintenance works, the device is subjected to operating pressure and electrical
voltage
• Only for the tasks described in the following
The following preconditions must be established before the measurement for measurement of the permeation rate – as the
condition assessment of the membranes themselves.
• Acquisition of a suitable volume flow meter with a range of 0.4 – 4 cfm (atmospheric) with hose connection (approx. 40
inch)/plug connection with connection thread G1/4 (BSPP - British Standard Pipe Parallel)
• Setting of the DRYPOINT

M intelligence to operating mode “Service Mode“, see 6.3.3 (only the measuring gas flow will
be made available inside of the device)
Measurement sequence
• Unscrew the blind plug at the head of the membrane dryer
• The exiting purge area is depressurized
• Screw in connection G1/4 (BSPP - British Standard Pipe Parallel) of the hose connection volume flow meter into the
thread G1/4 (BSPP - British Standard Pipe Parallel) in the head
• Manually closing/pasting the purge air outlet
• Read the measuring result
After the measurement, the connection in the head of the membrane and dryer must be closed again by using the blind
plug, the purge air output at the sieve must be cleared. The device must be returned to normal mode “6.3.3. Service mode“
on page 27.
Recommended limit values in l/min: app. 25% of the maximum purge air volume DRYPOINT
