Installation Of Pipelines - Parker Zander WVM Series Operating Manual

Installation of pipelines

To ensure proper operation of the dryer, its connection to the compressed air
system must be free from stress.
► Prior to installation, check all incoming and outgoing compressed air lines
and valves for damage or contamination.
► Inspect screw connections and retighten, if necessary (screw connections
might become loose during transport).
Ensure that the pipelines are not under any stress when installed!
Stress on pipes might result in the rupturing of the lines during operation,
resulting in damage to persons and property.
► Connect the dryer to the compressed air system, while heeding rated
diameter and pressure.
The figure below shows a proper installation.
Compressed air system
► The connecting lines of the preliminary filter (4) should be at a slight slope
towards the filter.
► A shut-off valve (3, 10) at both the inlet and outlet for the compressed air
must be installed.
► In units with bypass line (5) and additional shut-off valve:
Ensure that the line is installed in such a way that the compressed air flow
must not be interrupted during maintenance of the dryer.
