TROUBLESHOOTING
The following conditions can cause abnormal operation or malfunction of the air dryer
• High inlet air temperatures
• High cooling water inlet temperatures
• Untreated cooling water
• Dirty condenser
• Low ambient temperatures
• Malfunctioning automatic drains at aftercooler, or dryer
• Refrigerant overcharge
• Leaky evaporator
• Electrical power supply more than ±10% of the rated
voltage
• Low inlet air pressures
• Contaminated cooling water
• Condenser water pressure below 35 PSIG
• High ambient temperatures
• Compressed air flow greater than rated capacity
• Undersized fuses
• Refrigerant undercharge
• Clogged air compressor air intake filter
If any of these symptoms are noticed, refer to
Troubleshooting Guide.
Table 1 — Troubleshooting Guide
