4.2.2.2 Chamber

Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two gen-
eral types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.
4.2.2.3 Cartridge
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed with
one or more of the following.
1. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
2. Activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors effecting taste and odor.
3. Molecular sieve to absorb oil and water.
4.2.2.4 Cartridge Handling
4. Never open the protective packaging a cartridge comes in prior to its
actual use. The highly sensitive filter materials will absorb moisture
from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
5. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local regu-
lations.
4.2.2.5 Condensate Drain Valve
A manually operated valve used for maintenance and before start-up to drain the condensed liquids from
the coalescing oil and water separator.
4.2.2.6 Check Valves
Valves allowing compressed air to flow in only one direction. One is used to maintain pressure in the
chamber when the compressor is not operating. The other check valve prevents back-flow from filled
storage cylinders or tanks.
