3. Installation & Commissioning
3.1 Recommended system layout
The dryer should be installed with the correct pre-filtration and condensate management equipment to meet both the
specification and local environmental requirements.
Referring to diagram A4 in Annex A, the following equipment is recommended to meet these requirements:
3.2 Locating the equipment
Identify a suitable location for the equipment taking into consideration the minimum space requirements for maintenance and
lifting equipment as shown in diagram A5 in Annex A. When considering the final location of the equipment take into account
the noise generated when in use.
The dryer should only be lifted by the lower manifold using a fork lift truck or similar.
It is recommended that the dryer is secured to the base using the correct bolts through the support legs.
3.3 Mechanical Installation
Once the dryer has been located into position install the piping and filtration for connection to the inlet and outlet manifold.
Diagram A6 in Annex A shows the configuration for a bank of 3 dryers.
AA and AO grade filtration is recommended at the inlet to the dryer and an AO grade at the outlet. In extreme conditions a
water separator (WS) is recommended at the inlet.
Ensure that each filter condensate drain is suitably piped away and any effluent is disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
When the dryers are installed in a multi-bank configuration as shown in diagram A6, they should be supplied from an end fed
manifold arrangement using long radius elbows and tee fittings.
It is important to ensure that all piping materials are suitable for the application, clean and debris free. The diameter of the
pipes must be sufficient to allow unrestricted inlet air supply to the equipment and outlet gas / air supply to the application.
When routing the pipes ensure that they are adequately supported to prevent damage and leaks in the system.
The dryer is supplied with exhaust silencers and should be fitted prior to use. If the exhaust is to be piped away then a
minimum pipe size of 100 mm (4") should be used. This pipe should be fitted with a suitable isolation valve at the dryer
exhaust.
All components used within the system must be rated to at least the maximum operating pressure of the equipment. It is
recommended that the system be protected with suitably rated pressure relief valves.
Only competent personnel trained, qualified, and approved by Parker domnick hunter should perform installation,
commissioning and service procedures.

The use of a bypass line will allow wet untreated air into the system. It should therefore only be used in extreme
circumstances.
