Safety rules 1. Safety rules 1.1. Definition of the Conventional Signs Used in This Manual Carefully read instruction manual before attempting any service or maintenance procedures on the dryer. Caution warning sign. Risk of danger or possibility of damage to equipment, if related text is not followed properly.
Safety rules 1.2. Warnings DANGER! Compressed air! Compressed air is a highly hazardous energy source. Never work on the dryer with pressure in the system. Never point the compressed air or the condensate drain outlet hoses towards anybody. The user is responsible for the proper installation of the dryer. Failure to follow instructions given in the “Installation”...
Installation 1.4. Instructions for the use of pressure equipment according to PED Directive 97/23/EC To ensure the safe operation of pressure equipments, the user must conform strictly to the above directive and the following: 1. The equipment must only be operated within the temperature and pressure limits stated on the manufacturer’s data nameplate.
Installation 2.2. Storage Even when packaged, keep the machine protected from severity of the weather. Keep the dryer in vertical position, also when stored. Turning it upside down some parts could be irreparably damaged. If not in use, the dryer can be stored in its packaging in a dust free and protected site at a maximum temperature of 120°...

Polluted inlet air! In case of heavily polluted inlet air (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-.3 or worse quality), we recommend the additional installation of a pre-filter (f.e.
Installation 2.6. Connection to the Compressed Air System DANGER! Compressed air! Operations to be performed by qualified personnel only. Never work on compressed air system under pressure. The user is responsible to ensure that the dryer will never be operated with pressure exceeding the maximum pressure rating on the unit data tag.
Start up 2.8. Electrical connections DANGER! Supply voltage! Qualified personnel should carry out connecting unit to the main power. Be sure to check the local codes in your area. Before connecting the unit to the electrical supply, verify the data nameplate for the proper electrical information. Voltage tolerance is +/- 5%.
Start up 3.2. First start-up This procedure should be followed on first start-up, after periods of extended shutdown or following maintenance procedures. Qualified personnel must perform the start-up. Sequence of operations (refer to paragraph 5.1 Control Panel). • Ensure that all the steps of the “Installation” chapter have been observed. •...

Technical description 5.5. Refrigerating compressor The refrigerating compressor is the pump in the system, gas coming from the evaporator (low pressure side) is compressed up to the condensation pressure (high pressure side). The compressors utilized are manufactured by leading manufacturers and are designed for applications where high compression ratios and wide temperature changes are present.
Technical description 5.9. Filter Drier Traces of humidity and slag can accumulate inside the refrigerating circuit. Long periods of use can also produce sludge. This can limit the lubrication efficiency of the compressor and clog the expansion valve or capillary tube. The function of the Filter Drier, located before the capillary tubing, is to eliminate any impurities from circulating through the system.
Technical description 5.13. Refrigerant Pressure Switches P As operation safety and protection of the dryer a series of pressure switches are installed in the gas circuit. PB : Low-pressure controller device on the pushing side (carter) of the compressor, is enabled only if the pressure drops below the pre-set value.
Technical description 5.17. Electronic level controlled condensate drain BEKOMAT The electronic level controlled drain BEKOMAT has a special condensate management that makes sure that condensate is drained safely without any unnecessary air-loss. This drain consists of a condensate accumulator where a capacitive sensor continuously checking liquid level is placed: as soon as the accumulator is filled, the sensor passes a signal to the electronic control and a diaphragm solenoid valve will open to discharge the condensate.
Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling 6. Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling 6.1. Controls and Maintenance DANGER! Compressed air, mains voltage, unqualified personnel! Only qualified personnel should perform troubleshooting and or maintenance operations. Prior to performing any maintenance or service, be sure that: no part of the machine is powered and that it cannot be connected to the mains supply.
Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling 6.2. Troubleshooting Only qualified personnel should perform troubleshooting and or maintenance operations. Prior to performing any maintenance or service, be sure that: • no part of the machine is powered and that it cannot be connected to the mains supply. •...

Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling The fan is always ON - PV pressure switch is faulty - replace it (Air-Cooled). DewPoint too low. The Hot Gas By-pass Valve is out of setting - contact a refrigeration engineer to restore the nominal setting.
Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling 6.3. Spare Parts The suggested spare parts list will enable you to promptly intervene in case of abnormal operation, so avoiding to wait for the spares delivery. In case of failure of other parts, for example inside the refrigerating circuit, the replacement must be worked out by a refrigerating systems specialist or in our factory.

Maintenance, troubleshooting, spares and dismantling 6.4. Maintenance operation on the refrigerating circuit CAUTION! Refrigerant fluid! Maintenance and service on refrigerating systems must be carried out only by certified refrigerating engineers only, according to local rules. All the refrigerant of the system must be recovered for its recycling, reclamation or destruction. Do not dispose the refrigerant fluid in the environment.
