Questions and Answers

    Why does my Ingersoll-Rand EH 400 Dryer have an elevated dew point?
    • D
      Derrick JimenezAug 12, 2025
      If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer has an elevated dew point, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to an insufficient purge rate, so you should check the purge flow settings and piping for obstructions, cleaning them as necessary. Low inlet air pressure could also be the culprit, so verify the pressure source. Other potential causes include a flow rate higher than the design condition (check the flow rate), an inlet temperature exceeding the design condition (inspect and service the aftercooler), water entering the desiccant bed (check the air/moisture separator and pre-filter, replacing the desiccant if needed), or desiccant contaminated by oil (install a pre-filter and replace the desiccant).

    What to do if Ingersoll-Rand EH 400 fails to shift?
    • K
      Katelyn StrongAug 16, 2025
      If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer fails to shift, begin by checking the power input. If that's not the issue, inspect the no-loss drain valve, pilot air line, control air line filter, and regulator setpoint. Also, check the pressure switch, ensuring it opens above 65 psig and closes below 40 psig.

    Why is there excessive pressure drop in my Ingersoll-Rand Dryer?
    • J
      John Williams Jr.Aug 20, 2025
      An excessive pressure drop in your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer can be caused by an excessive flow rate. In this case, check the flow rate and determine the cause for the increased air demand. Also, check the pressure source, because the inlet pressure may be below the design condition.

    How to fix Heater High Temp. Alarm (Heater runs continuously) in Ingersoll-Rand EH 400?
    • J
      Jonathan ChandlerAug 23, 2025
      If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer's heater is running continuously and triggering a high-temperature alarm, the contactor might be stuck closed, in which case you should replace it. Other potential causes include a defective thermocouple or temperature control, which would also require replacement.

    What to do if Ingersoll-Rand Dryer fails to pressurize?
    • A
      Austin MurrayAug 27, 2025
      If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer fails to pressurize, you should check the purge valve and its no-loss drain valve. Also, ensure that the repressurization circuit is sending a control signal.

    What to do if Ingersoll-Rand EH 400 Dryer fails to depressurize?
    • A
      aprilmcguireAug 31, 2025
      If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer fails to depressurize, it could be due to the purge valve not opening or being stuck in the closed position. Check the no-loss drain valve, and repair or replace it if necessary.

    Why is there excessive back pressure in regenerating tower in my Ingersoll-Rand EH 400 Dryer?
    • C
      Christina KramerSep 3, 2025
      Excessive back pressure in the regenerating tower (above 5 PSIG) in your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer can be caused by air leaking across the valve. Check the inlet valve and verify that it is closed to the purging tower (0 PSIG tower).

    What causes excessively high pressure at the purge gage in Ingersoll-Rand Dryer?
    • J
      Jacob LoveSep 7, 2025
      If the pressure at the purge gauge is excessively high in your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer, it may be due to improper calibration. Check the gauge against tower gauges when in switching sequence, and replace the gauge as required.
