SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.1. SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
Once at the installation location, the dryer must be positioned so that sides are easily
accessible. The piping is to be connected to the dryer at a slight upward slope. Isolation
valves are to be installed at the inlet and outlet and a by-pass line with an additional shut-
off valve should be mounted around the adsorption dryer. This is to ensure an
uninterrupted supply of compressed air in case of a problem with the dryer. Should the
installation site be subject to vibration, vibration dampers must be used to avoid
unnecessary vibration and abrasion of the desiccant bed.
Since the adsorption dryer has already been completely wired at our factory, the customer
only has to connect the power supply cable to the terminal strip according to the supplied
wiring diagrams.
☛ Note
Should you still have questions regarding installation, you can request
additional installation recommendations from Sullair.
CAUTION!
Do not hydrotest the dryer! All vessel assemblies are factory pressure
tested per design requirements prior to release from the manufacturer.
☛ Note
The dryer must be installed indoors in a heated environment (minimum
33°F) to ensure proper operation and warranty protection.
