Separator Filter and Refrigerated Air Dryer (cont’d)
As previously noted, the Separator Filter is located between the Air End and the Refrigerated Dryer. It contains a
1 micron Separator Element which protects the Dryer Unit by removing liquids and solid particles 1 microns and
larger.
To replace a dirty Filter Element:
• Shut the Compressor Unit off.
• Bleed any compressed air from the system to ensure there is no pressure at the Filter.
• Unscrew the Bowl from the assembly, exposing the dirty Filter Element.
• Pull the Filter Element out of the Canister Head
• Clean any debris from the inside of the Bowl
• Remove the O-ring from the inside of the Canister Head
• Install the new O-ring making sure it is properly seated
• Place the new 1 micron Separator Filter Element into the Bowl (the filter is self-centring).
• Screw the Canister with the Element inside it to the Canister Head until the indicators line up.
• Gauge will return to g
reen when Filter is once again under pressure.
