10. Faults
The following faults may occur:
Oil in the compressed air
downstream of the adsorber
Significant differential pressure
- volumetric flow via the adsorber
exceeds the intended parameters
- inlet temperature is too high
- operating pressure is too low (reduc-
tion of flow rate)
- active carbon is saturated
- large quantity of oil has broken
through the compressor
- pipes / consumer downstream of the
adsorber were already contaminated
with oil
- by-pass line is open / not sealed
- highly pulsating compressed air
- filter elements saturated
- cut-off valves not fully open
- dust fraction too high due to pressu-
re shocks
- clogged pipes
- high levels of turbulence at inlet
- adapt to operating conditions
- upstream cooling
- replace active carbon
- close by-pass
- replace or clean pipes / consumer
- replace elements
- check shut-off devices
- stop pressure shocks
- remove active carbon from the vessel until the
top dust sieve is exposed
