• If necessary, protect the dryer from vibration using vibration dampeners and/or flexible hoses on
the inlet and outlet.
• Also if necessary, protect the dryer from pulsation in the air stream by installing a upstream wet air
receiver.
• Pressure safety relief valves must be installed in the compressed air system in accordance with
local regulations. Verify that these valves will protect the dryer from any pressure above 203 psig
at all times.
• Ensure that the inlet compressed air and ambient air in and around the dryer do not contain solid
or gaseous contaminants. All compressed and condensed gases can generate acids or chemical
products which may be aggressive against the aluminium heat exchanger or the other components
inside the dryer. Take particular care with sulphur, ammonia, chlorine, and installations in marine
environments.
• Protect the dryer from instantaneous or continuous flows in excess of the dryers’ maximum rated
capacity. This may require installation of a down stream air receiver.
• Ensure the drain outlet is free from restriction and back pressure. Do not connect drain outlets into
a common header if there is any chance that any condition (i.e. multiple drains discharging at the
same time could cause a restriction or back flow.)
