Proper use

This dryer was designed, manufactured and tested to separate the moisture which normally exists in compressed air.
Any other use is considered improper.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for problems occurring as a consequence of improper use. The user alone is
responsible for any damage resulting from that.
Furthermore, the correct use includes the compliance with the installation instructions, in particular in respect of:
• The voltage and frequency of the main voltage supply.
• The pressure, temperature and flow rate of the inlet air.
• The ambient temperature.
When delivered, the dryer is tested and fully assembled. The customer only needs to connect the device to the system
in accordance with the instructions in the following chapters.

Operating instructions in accordance with the 97/23/EC Pressure Equipment Directive

The DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air refrigeration dryer contains pressure equipment in the sense of
the 97/23/EC Pressure Equipment Directive. Therefore, the entire plant needs to be registered with the supervisory
authority if required in accordance with the local regulations.
For the examination prior to the start-up and for periodic inspections, the national regulations need to be observed,
such as the industrial safety regulation in the United States of America. In countries outside the US, the respective
regulations in force there need to be adhered to.
The proper use of pressure devices is the basic requirement for safe operation. As regards pressure devices, the
following points need to be observed:

The DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air refrigeration dryer must only be employed within the pressure
and temperature range limits indicated by the manufacturer on the type plate.

No welding must be carried out on the pressure parts.

The DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air refrigeration dryer must neither be installed in insufficiently
ventilated rooms nor near heat sources or inflammable substances.

To avoid fractures resulting from material fatigue, the refrigeration dryer should not be exposed to vibrations during
operation.

The maximum operating pressure indicated by the manufacturer on the type plate must not be exceeded. It is the
installer's responsibility to install the appropriate safety and control devices. Prior to the start-up of the
DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air refrigeration dryer, the connected pressure generator
(compressor etc.) must be set to the max. permissible operating pressure. The integrated safeguard needs to be
checked by an approved inspection agency.

The documents related to the DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air refrigeration dryer (manual,
operating instructions, manufacturer's declaration etc.) must be kept safe for future reference.

No objects whatsoever must be installed at or placed on the DRYPOINT® RA CT 20-500 NA compressed-air
refrigeration dryer and the connecting lines.

Installation of the plant in frost-free places only.

Operation of the plant is only permissible with fully closed and intact housing and cover panels. Operation of the
plant with damaged housing/cover panels is prohibited.
