  • Page 4: Description Of Operation

    DESCRIPTION OF DRYER OPERATION Operating principal - The dryers described in this manual operate on the same principal. A refrigeration unit reduces the temperature of a chamber called an evaporator or heat exchanger through which warm, moist, compressed air is passed.
  • Page 5: What Is True Track Technology

    WHAT IS RACK ECHNOLOGY True Track Technology is a unique control system that conditions power to the compressor varying the refrigeration system’s capacity to match the requirements for dry air. As the load is reduced the compressor will be slowed until its output capacity matches the load. The speed of the compressor (RPM) will vary directly with the changing need for refrigeration capacity, maintaining a consistent dew point.
  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    SECTION 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 HANDLING PANELS,ETC. ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE DRYER. DO NOT LIFT THE DRYER ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE DESIGNATED PLACES. PIPING, PERSONAL INJURY AND / OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE COULD RESULT. ENSURE THAT ALL EQUIPMENT BEING USED TO LIFT THE DRYER IS CAPABLE OF LIFTING THE WEIGHT OF THE DRYER.
  • Page 7 MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER WIRING OR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION. IT IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION IS CORRECT AND UP TO APPLICABLE CODES. Read and understand the MSDS and first aid instructions for Refrigerant 22 (R-22) 2.3 OPERATION DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER ABOVE THE STATED WORKING PRESSURE (SEE SPECIFICATION TABLE).

    SECTION 4 INSTALLING THE DRYER 4.1 LOCATION DO NOT INSTALL DRYER IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF CORROSIVE CHEMICALS, EXPLOSIVE GASSES, POISONOUS GASSES, STEAM HEAT, AREAS OF HIGH AMBIENT CONDITIONS, OR EXTREME DUST AND DIRT. Install the dryer in a protected, well-ventilated area where the ambient temperatures are between 40 degrees and 100 degrees F.
  • Page 12: Piping And Connections

    4.2 PIPING AND CONNECTIONS Connect the inlet and outlet piping to the dryer using the markings on the dryer as a guide. Pipe size for dryer is specified in the specification table. Piping should be full flow if possible with the least amount of turns, bends, or reductions.
  • Page 13: Recommended Filters

    4.3 RECOMMENDED FILTERS Air dryers are part of a complete air treatment system that includes filters, moisture separators, etc. To achieve maximum benefit from the dryer, install proper filtration. Coalescing filters should be used in conjunction with a good particulate filter. The particulate filter is used to extend the life and the function of the coalescing element. Recommended filters are as follows.
  • Page 14: Electrical Connections

    4.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER WILL OCCUR IF THE DRYER IS CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE OTHER THAN THE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE DATA TAG OF THE DRYER. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE DUE TO IMPROPER WIRING, PROTECTION, OR ELECTRICAL SERVICE INSTALLATION.
