OPERATION
Page 4-8
During humidity
operation, the dry air
purge system must be
turned off.
NOTE
DRY AIR PURGE
In normal operation the dryer towers will switch every 30 seconds. Each tower
purges with an audible exhaust. Do not plug or restrict the purge air exhausts. If
operating conditions change, different purge orifi ces may be required. If orifi ces are
replaced, they should be replaced in matched pairs.
The heat of absorption and the solenoid valves will cause the unit to become warm.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The temperature rise is more
pronounced in a dryer operating at a low fl ow rate.
During operation, there may be a faint fume from the solenoid valves. This is
caused by the AC voltage on the coil. It does not indicate a malfunction.
The highest ambient temperature at which a heatless dryer can be operated is
125ºF (52ºC). The maximum air temperature at the inlet which the instrument
should handle is 125ºF (52ºC).
Switch must be on
manual mode for single
set-point operation.
NOTE
CLEAN AND OIL-FREE
AIR SHOULD BE USED
TO SUPPLY THE DRY
AIR PURGE SYSTEM.
The hose inside the dry
air purge package must
be run to a drain. Both oil
and water will be drained
through this line.

Do not expose the
bowl or sight glass
to materials such as
carbon tetrachloride,
trichlorethylene,
acetone, paint thinner,
or other similar materials
as they can also cause
a chemical reaction
with the plastic and can
cause it to rupture.
