SECTION 4: PURIFICATION SYSTEMS
4.1 General
The purpose of all BAUER breathing air purification systems is to remove oil, water, taste and odor from
the compressed air stream before final delivery. For this reason BAUER purification systems are installed
immediately before the compressed air delivery point.
4.1.1 System Configurations
BAUER compressor units are available with various purifications systems either as standard features or
factory installed options. The purification systems that apply to the models listed in this manual are found
in the Purification System Applicability in Section 1.4.
4.1.2 General Purification System Procedures
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100 psi
(50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purification
system.
