GUIDE (L31279) GeminiMDx Manifold Dual Dryer GeminiMDx Overview In its most basic form, the GeminiMDx dual dryer is the connection of two DRYest Air Dryers in parallel to treat the compressed air produced by high capacity air compressors. The GeminiMDx is a desiccant type dryer that removes moisture and contaminants from the compressed air before entering the air brake system.
DUAL DRYER SYSTEM DUAL DRYER SYSTEM ® ® INSTALLATION/SERVICE INSTALLATION/SERVICE MANUAL (L31279) GUIDE (L31279) Pre-Treatment Consep Overview 3/4”-18 NPTF 3/4”-18 NPTF The Consep consists of a condenser/separator and a Automatic Drain Valve (ADV). The condenser/separator WET TANK will condense and separate contaminants from the compressed air.
MANUAL (L31279) Drying DRYest Air Dryer Overview OPTIONAL PRE-TREATMENT The Haldex DRYest is a desiccant type dryer that effectively collects and removes moisture, oil and WET TANK contaminants before they enter the compressed air system. The DRYest provides filtered, moisture free air to the brake system which reduces freezing and corrosion of the components in the air system.
