Determining dryer capacity at actual operating conditions
To determine the maximum inlet flow capacity of a dryer at
various operating conditions, multiply the rated capacity from
Table 1 by the multipliers shown in Table 2.
Example: How many scfm can an air-cooled model 1000
handle when compressed air to be dried is at 200 psig and
100°F; ambient air temperature is 80°F; and a 45°F dew point
temperature is desired?
Answer: 1,000 x 1.22 x 1.12 x 1.2 = 1,640 scfm.

3.3 Check separator daily to be sure automatic drain
is discharging.
NOTE: Units with two stage filtration have two sets of drains.
3.4 Blow down separator weekly by pushing test button on
control panel.
3.5 Rebuild drain mechanism annually.
To facilitate service, maintenance kits are available.
