Adsorption dryer SDAT Operating instructions
Contents
1. BE_SDAT doc It is recommended to install a compressed air filter with automatic condensate drain and a sub micro filter before the adsorption dryer Depending on the requirements for the compressed air an active charcoal filter and a further sub micro filter should be installed after the adsorption dryer The sub micro filter must in any case be provided if the small amount of debris from the molecular sieve could cause faults 6 Operation The adsorption dryer can only dry the compressed air perfectly if the specified data as shown on the type plate is complied with operating pressure and volumetric flow A lower volumetric flow has a positive effect on the pressure dew point If a lower pressure is required at the consumer a pressure regulator must be installed after the adsorption dryer The ambient temperature should lie between 4 C und 30 C 7 Maintenance The activity of the molecular sieve is almost fully retained over a long period of time provided that due attention is paid to the treatment of the compressed air before the adsorption dryer Oil borne with the compressed air is particularly damaging It can block openings in the molecular sieve and reduce reactivation during regeneration If the pressure dew point is no longer being reached it is recommended not to draw off any supply air for about 3 to 4 hours In this manner the adsorption dryer can regenerate itself The partial pressure drop between adsorption a2.
