Medium Flow Compressed Air Dryers - IOMI.
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM LAYOUT
CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL dryers can be installed directly after an air compressor or downstream of a wet air receiver. e
preferred method of installation is downstream of a wet air receiver as the air receiver acts as a pre-cooler / liquid separator and is
eective at protecting the dryer from bulk liquid contamination and small temperature spikes.
Water Separator (Optional)
Should CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL be installed directly after the air compressor (no wet air receiver) or the distance from the
outlet of the wet air receiver is >3m, an optional OIL-X Grade WS water separator should be installed. Water separators are used to
protect the coalescing lters included with CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL from liquid contamination. If liquid water / oil is not treated
prior to the dryer, dewpoint performance may not be achieved, and any remaining warranty will be invalidated.
General Purpose and High Eciency Coalescing Filters (included)
Coalescing lters are probably the single most important items of purication equipment in a compressed air system. ey are
designed to not only reduce aerosols (droplets) of oil and water using mechanical ltration techniques, but also to reduce solid
particulate to very low levels (as small as 0.01micron in size). Installed in pairs, the rst lter is a 'General Purpose Filter' which
protects the second 'High Eciency Filter' from bulk contamination. e included dual lter installation ensures a continuous supply
of high quality compressed air with the additional benets of low operational costs and minimal maintenance.
Dry Particulate Filters (included)
CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL dryers include either a single Dry Particulate Filter (CDAS HL / OFAS HL) or a pair of Dry Particulate
Filters (OFAS HL) for the reduction of desiccant particulates (and micro-organisms on FBP dryers). ey provide identical particulate
reduction performance to the equivalent coalescing lter and use the same mechanical ltration techniques to provide particle
reduction.
Important Note
Failure maintain the pre and post ltration supplied with the dryer will invalidate the dryer’s warranty.

Important Notes: Protecting e Dryer from Reverse Flow
• Compressed air dryers are designed to ow in one direction only.
• Back ow (reverse ow) must not be allowed or damage to the ltration and dryer may occur.
• e installation of a Non-Return Valve will stop reverse ow and prevent damage to the dryer.
• CDAS/OFAS/FBP models up to serial number 22CDAS08531 require an additional Non Return Valve at the outlet of the dryer
(not supplied)
• CDAS/OFAS/FBP models from serial number 22CDAS08532 include an integral Non Return Valve (additional NRV not required)
