5.2 CORRECTION FACTOR FOR INLET TEMPERATURE (Continued)
Example: To size for an inlet flow of 570 SCFM @ 105 F and 110 Psig.
1 Select a model that produces at least 570 SCFM at 110 psig. This case would be
the SD-600 which can dry 700 SCFM.
2 Multiply pressure corrected flow by the temperature correction factor to obtain the
flow of the dryer corrected for pressure and temperature: 700 X (0.83) = 580 SCFM
3 Confirm model selection. Model SD-600 can flow 580 SCFM at the inlet conditions
specified. The requirements of 570 SCFM is less, so model SD-600 is correct.
5.3. PURGE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the purge pressure, the following steps are to be followed, refer to the flow
schematics at the end of this manual:
1 The power is turned on and the dryer is operating.
2 When either chamber is depressurized and being regenerated, adjust the pressure
on the pressure gauge using the purge adjusting valve supplied.
3 Refer to below table to adjust purge based on operating / inlet pressure.
