4. Dry the silica gel as outlined in the previous section or replace it
with new desiccant (if it becomes contaminated or will not
regenerate).
Installing the Silica Gel
To install the silica gel, follow these steps:
1. Holding the dryer vertically with the water trap at the top,
remove the end cap on the inlet side (if you have not already
done so).
!
Important
Do not attempt to unscrew the opposite end. It is glued in place and attached to
the inner screen. Forcing the outlet and end cap will damage the inner screen.
2. Hold the desiccant dryer with the open inlet end pointed up.
3. Install the filling jig on the inlet making sure that the mesh tube
is covered by the center of the jig (see Figure 3).
4. Pour desiccant into the jig until the dryer body is almost full
(leave about ¼ in., 6 mm unfilled). You may want to tap the
body of the dryer to compact the desiccant.
5. Make sure the gasket in the end cap is undamaged and slightly
greased.
6. Replace the removable end cap being careful to insert the solid
tube on the end cap into the screen tube.
7. Make sure that the end cap is completely threaded in place.
8. Replace the dryer into its holding cradles and reattach the
fittings to the inlet and outlet.
