Daily maintenance tasks
Carry out visual and function check on the complete dryer
Check dryer for external damage or unusual noise generation.
Duly eliminate any defects found.
If message SEr. is displayed, a routine service must be completed:
Contact the service department of the manufacturer.
Clean dryer
Remove any loose dust by means of a dry cloth, and, if required, also by means of a
moist and well wrung cloth.
Clean the surfaces with a moist well wrung cloth.
Check dam pressure
If, following depressurisation of a vessel, e.g. after the expansion phase, the overpressure
has not decreased to 0 bar, then there is a residual pressure, designated as dam pressure, in
the vessel.
Check for dam pressure: if the dryer functions correctly, the respective pressure gauge
indicates 0 bar. Then there is no dam pressure.
If the dam pressure is greater than 0.3 bar:
Depressurise the dryer and shut it down (see page 31).
Dam pressure can be caused by:
- a blocked muf er,
- a blocked dust sieve or
- drying agent which is too old.
The respective necessary maintenance measures are described in the following sections.
Maintenance work to be completed every 12 months
Renew muffl ers
The dryer is equipped with a muf er. If the muf er becomes blocked, a dam pressure is gen-
erated which in extreme cases may cause the muf er to burst.
Hazard caused by blocked muffl er!
Blocked muffl ers can cause a dangerous overpressure to build up which may
cause the muffl ers to burst. Flying fragments may cause personal injury and
damage to property.
Therefore, the muffl ers must be replaced every 12 months and after each
change of desiccant.
Warning against sudden air ejection!
During expansion the pressure is released suddenly through the muffl er:
◊ A loud cracking noise occurs which can injure your hearing.
◊ Particles carried in the air fl ow act like bullets and can injure your eyes or
skin.
Always wear eye and ear protection, therefore, when you are in the vicinity of
the dryer!
