AIR DRYER TROUBLESHOOTING CHART (Continued)
CAUSE
F. Governor malfunction.
Missing or restricted
governor control line
installation.
A. Air dryer purge valve
leaking excessively.
B. Compressor fails to
unload (stop compressing
air) and air dryer purge
exhaust makes
"sputtering" or "popping"
sound.
C. Purge control line
connected to reservoir
or exhaust port of
governor.
D. Purge valve frozen open -
malfunctioning heater
and thermostat, wiring,
blown fuse.
E. Excessive system
leakage.
F. Purge valve stays open
- supply air leaks to
control side.
A. Inlet and outlet air
connections reversed.
B. Check valve between air
dryer and first reservoir.
C. Kinked or blocked
(plugged) discharge line.
D. Excessive bends in
discharge line (water
collects and freezes).
E. Refer to Symptom 4,
Causes E & F.
A. Missing, broken, kinked,
frozen, plugged or
disconnected purge
control line.
B. Faulty air dryer purge
valve.
C. See Causes, B, E, G for
Symptom #4.
REMEDY
F. Test governor operation and/or inspect the
control line leading from the governor UNL
(unloader) port to the air dryer control port.
A. With compressor loaded, apply soap solution
on purge valve exhaust, to test for excessive
leakage. Refer to Technical Bulletin
TCH-008-040. Repair purge valve as necessary.
B. Confirm failure to unload by increasing &
decreasing engine RPM and noting change in
the rate of leakage and intensity of
accompanying leakage sound. Repair/replace
compressor unloaders.
C. Purge control line must be connected to
unloader port of governor.
D. Test heater and thermostat as described in
Preventative Maintenance Section.
E. See Symptom #1.
F. Repair purge valve and housing.
A. Connect compressor discharge to air dryer
supply port. Reconnect lines properly.
B. Test check valve for proper operation. Repair or
replace as necessary.
C. Check to determine if air passes through
discharge line. Check for kinks, bends,
excessive carbon deposits, or ice blockage.
D. Discharge line should be constantly sloping from
compressor to air dryer with as few bends as
possible.
E. Refer to Symptom #4, Remedies E & F.
A. Inspect control line from governor UNL (unloader)
port to control port of air dryer. Test to determine
if air flows through purge control line when
compressor unloaded. Check for undrilled
fittings. (See Symptom #4, Remedy C.)
B. After determining air reaches purge valve
(Remedy A above), repair purge valve.
C. Refer to Remedies B, E, G for Symptom #4.
