TROUBLESHOOTING
NP-DK50 2V-A-4_10-2022-AD 60 10/2022
Incorrect function of solenoid valve
Repair or replace fan or coil
Compressor is
noisy (knocking,
metal noises)
Damaged piston bearing, piston
rods, motor bearing
Loose (cracked) dampening
element (spring)
Dryer does not dry
(condensed water
in the air) *
Check power source
Replace dryer
Defective automatic condensate
drain
Degraded drying
performance –
high-pressure dew
point
(condensed water
in the air)
Reduce the demand for air, check
the output from the compressed air
source, fix any leaks in the
distribution system
Regeneration solenoid valve not
working
Check coil operation, replace if
damaged
Inspect the condition of the valve –
clean the valve or replace if problems
persist
Air regeneration nozzle plugged
Clean or replace the nozzle
(see product maintenance)
Check the power source to the fan
Replace damaged fan
Inspect the cooler and clean as
necessary
Silencer plugged at outlet from
regeneration valve
Inspect the silencers. Clean or
replace the silencer if flow resistance
is too high or if heavily soiled.
Dryer emitting high
levels of noise
Air leaking through relief valve at
dryer inlet
Check the dryer connection to the
mains and dryer connections, check
the dryer operation, check the dryer’s
working pressure, and replace
defective components.
Air leaking through
relief valve at dryer
inlet
High working pressure from air
source
Check the pressure setting on the
compressed air source
Dryer inlet solenoid valve not
working
Check the coil operation, replace if
damaged
Inspect the condition of the valve –
clean the valve or replace if problems
persist
High pressure in equipment resulting
from plugged filters
Check the internal filters and
accessory filter assemblies.
Clean or replace dirty filters.
)* Clean inside surfaces of the air tank thoroughly and remove all condensed liquid after dryer failure.
Once a dryer fault is cleared and after its reassembly, the dryer should quickly be regenerated, best
when using continuous compressor operation at a pressure of around 1 bar for a period of at least
1 hour; then check the dryness of the compressed air.
