Maintenance
Air Dryer
The function of the air dryer is to collect and remove moisture
and contaminants before the compressed air reaches the air
reservoirs.
This protects the air system components from
malfunctioning including blockage, corrosion, and freezing.
For air tank draining requirements, refer to the
Maintenance
Instructions section
as well as local regulations.
The air dryer is installed in the discharge line between the air
compressor and the air system reservoirs. The air dryer includes
a replaceable desiccant cartridge and oil blocking filter that is
periodically serviced. It also may include a heater to prevent the
discharge valve from freezing in cold weather.
Air Dryer Desiccant Replacement
Open reservoir drain valves and check for presence of water.
Small amounts of water due to condensation is normal. If the
wet (air) tank and primary or secondary tanks are collecting an
abnormally high amount of water between regular air tank drain
intervals, replace the air dryer desiccant.
The air dryer desiccant replacement interval may vary; it is
generally recommended that the desiccant be replaced every 12
months for small air dryers like the Bendix AD-IP
®
, or every 24
months for large air dryers like the Bendix AD-9
®
. If experience
has shown that extended or shortened life has resulted for a
particular installation, then the interval should be increased or
reduced accordingly.
