Maintenance Responsibility Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a maintenance worker, you must make safety a priority to effectively repair and maintain equipment. Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine, remember to turn off all electric supplies and all accessory equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout electrical and pneumatic power.
Chapter 2: General Information Models Covered in This Manual This manual will cover the information necessary for operating your Central Drying System. Other manuals and guides will be provided for the conveying equipment used in your system. Necessary Documents The documents listed below are necessary for the operation, installation, and maintenance of Central Drying Systems.
The Process/Regeneration Cycle There are two desiccant beds in each of the dryers. While one desiccant bed is on-line in the process air loop, the other is off-line being regenerated. When a desiccant bed is on-line, it absorbs moisture from the process air. The desiccant will become saturated with moisture and need to be regenerated.

Safety Circuit Standards Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for servicing equipment. Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the design and manufacture of automated equipment.
Central Drying System Options Options can tailor your dehumidifying dryer system to meet the exact requirements of the drying task being performed. Consult ACS for any additional options that your application may require. Mechanical Options þ WH Series Stainless Steel Drying Hoppers (30-800 Liter Capacities) þ...
Chapter 3: Installation Positioning Your Dryer It is important to leave room to access the dryer from the front, rear, and at least one side, for repair and regular maintenance. Keep in mind the amount of hoppers in your system so that ample room is set aside.

Drying Hopper Removing the Rust Inhibitor Rust preventative may have been applied to internal unfinished surfaces. Remove rust inhibitor before using the drying hopper. Using a non-water based degreasing agent, clean all inside surfaces of the drying hopper. Allow components to dry thoroughly. Inspect the inside of the drying hopper for loose connections, foreign objects, or a blocked diffuser.
The Pressure Orifice device is specifically sized for each drying hopper that it is attached to. These devices should not be swapped between drying hoppers, as this will affect your drying system’s performance. If you need a replacement, ACS will be able to replace any components that you may need.
Optional Bypass Valve If your system required it, the Bypass Valve would be located at the very last manifold at the end of the system. The airflow schematic can illustrate the location. The purpose of the valve is to send excess delivery air into the return stream.
Chapter 4: Operation Pre-Startup Checks 1. Review the Installation Section preceding this one for important information on specific components. 2. Verify that the drying hoppers are clean of rust-prohibitive oil or any foreign objects. 3. Verify that process and return hose connections are tight. 4.
Chapter 5: Maintenance Work Rules The installation, operation, and maintenance of this equipment is to be conducted in accordance with all applicable work and safety codes for the installation location.
