Instruction book Safety precautions Safety icons Explanation Danger to life Warning Important note Safety precautions, general General precautions All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the manufacturer.
Instruction book Safety precautions during installation Precautions during installation 1. The dryer must only be lifted using suitable equipment and in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within safe limits.
Instruction book 17. If the maximum pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the dryer, a full flow safety valve must be installed between the compressor and the dryer in order to blow off the excessive pressure in case the safety valve of the dryer should be out of order or blocked.
Instruction book atmospheric pressure shall be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required. 12. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book must be respected. Local regulations remain applicable if they are more strict. Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation Safety...

Instruction book 18. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing. 19.
Instruction book General description General description Introduction The air dryers described in this book are heatless adsorption dryers, built to remove moisture from compressed air for industrial purposes. The standard version is intended to reach a pressure dew point of -40 ˚C (-40 ˚F). There is also a version available for a pressure dew point of -70˚C (-94 ˚F).
Instruction book Reference Description Reference Description Tower A Solenoid valve Tower B Control cubicle Air inlet Silencers Air outlet Operation General The construction of the air dryer is simple, reliable and easy to service. A dryer has basically two towers, containing the adsorption material or desiccant. This desiccant is a very porous grain material, able to adsorb large amounts of water vapour.

Page 14
Instruction book After a pre-set period, the function of the towers is reversed. The fully regenerated tower will now dry the air, while the desiccant in the other tower will be regenerated. By default, the regeneration timer will restart from the beginning of the cycle in case of a power failure during operation or in case the on/off switch was put in position 0.

Instruction book Installation Dimension drawings CD 80+ and CD 100+ Installation proposal Piping Make sure that all pipes, filters, valves, etc. are clean and that they are installed correctly with or without bypass system. Make sure that the piping is installed stress-free. For more information concerning air nets, cooling systems etc., refer to the compressor installation manual.

Instruction book PD filter: high efficiency filter, particle removal down to 0.01 micron, maximum oil carry- over 0.01 ppm To remove remaining impurities. DDp filter: dust filter, particle removal down to 1 micron To remove possible dust particles coming from the desiccant. Filter with active carbon, capable of absorbing odour (not shown on the drawings).
Page 22
Never overload the dryer as this will damage the desiccant. It may be recommended to install the air dryer upstream of the air receiver to prevent overload (e.g. after extending the dry air circuit). Consult Atlas Copco if in doubt. API093050...
Instruction book Electrical connections General The electrical wiring must comply with the local regulations. The air dryer must be earthed and protected by fuses against short-circuiting. Consult the electric diagram delivered with the dryer. Before switching on the main power supply, check the voltage requirements in the technical specifications or on the dryer’s data plate.

Instruction book Operating instructions Safety Always observe all relevant safety instructions. Initial start-up To start up the dryer for the first time or after a long period of standstill, proceed as follows: 1. If installed, open the bypass valves of the dryer. 2.
Page 27
Instruction book Close the external inlet valve in case the compressor needs to be restarted. The high air speed in the startup phase of the compressor may damage the desiccant. During operation At regular intervals, check the status of the LED’s on the control panel. If the warning/alarm LED is lit, consult the section Trouble shooting.
• Disconnect all pressure sources and vent the internal pressure of the system before dismantling any pressurized component. • Use genuine Atlas Copco spare parts only. Consult the Spare Parts List for part numbers. For preventive maintenance, dedicated Service kits are available.
Instruction book Resetting the service timer Timer card resetting procedure To reset the timer card, continue as follows: • Close off the dryer as described in the stopping procedure, see section Operating instructions. • Switch off the dryer by putting switch S1 to ‘Off’ position. LED (2) (dryer operating) will extinguish.
