What to do if Ingersoll-Rand Dryer has elevated dew point?

If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer has an elevated dew point, several factors could be the cause. First, check the purge flow settings to ensure they are sufficient. Also, inspect the purge piping for any obstructions and clean the purge piping and muffler. Verify that the inlet air pressure meets the design conditions and check the system for leaks. Ensure the flow rate is within the design specifications and address any increased demand. If the inlet temperature exceeds the design condition (120°F), inspect and service the aftercooler. Also, check the air/moisture separator and pre-filter for entrained water and replace the dryer desiccant if needed. Finally, if the desiccant is contaminated by oil, install a suitable pre-filter and replace the dryer desiccant.
