ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
EVERY
WEEK
EVERY
3 MONTHS
EVERY
YEAR
Verify nominal working conditions
(pressure , inlet air temperature, etc.)
Verify the correct working of all drainers installed, if necessary manually drain
pre and after filter, receiver tank (if applicable), all condensate drains before dryer
Check oil coalescing pre filter condition (not supplied with the dryer):
A. Element condition.
B. Efficiency of filter coalesced liquid discharger (manual or automatic type).
C. Replace Element
Check dust after filter condition (not supplied with the dryer):
A. Element condition
B. Replace Element (presence of possible oil traces)
Check Dryer unit:
A. Check the proper operating sequence of the dryer
B. Check discharge mufflers (must be without any oil traces)
C. Replace dessicant charge of each dryer column
During the first installation or after the replacement of desiccant charge, the dryer must
be reconditioned by operating with intercepted outlet air for about one hour.
