If the user employs an operating procedure, an item of equipment or a method of working which is not specifically recommended by Sullair he must ensure that the dryer will not be damaged or made unsafe and that there is no risk to persons or property.
2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION GENERAL Type: Heatless Model: Outlet Dewpoint: -40°C (-40°F) Air Quality: ISO 8573.1 Class 1.2.1 (dirt/water/oil): Class 1.1.1 optional Maximum Operating Pressure: 13.0 bar g (189 psi g) 4 bar g (58 psi g) Minimum Operating Pressure: Maximum Inlet Temperature: 50°C (122°F) Minimum Inlet Temperature: 5°C (41°F)
4. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Ensure that the dryer is correctly sized for the inlet pressure, taking into consideration pressure drops caused by valves, pipes, filters etc. Allowance should be made for purge air loss. The dryer should be typically sized at 1 bar g (14 psi g) below nominal compressor output pressure.

DO NOT Install the dryer flat against a wall. Install the dryer without adequate pre- and after-filtration. Install multiple banks with 750mm (29.5”) between modules (the instrumentation shroud will not open). Manifold multiple banks in a centre fed (fork) arrangement, as shown below. Inlet...

DRYER Figure 1 - PNEUDRI INSTALLED AFTER A ‘WET‘ AIR RECEIVER In the ideal situation Sullair would always recommend a receiver to be fitted both before and after the desiccant air dryer. The dryer should be securely mounted on a suitably structured, flat and level floor or base which is free from vibration.
INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM PNEUMATICALLY (See Figure 2) Figure 2 - TYPICAL SINGLE BANK INSTALLATION Install the dryer where the ambient air is as clean as possible and where the air temperature will never exceed the dryers temperature limits. PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS Connect the Inlet (1) and Outlet (2) compressed air lines to the valve housings marked Inlet and Outlet, ensuring the protective dust covers fitted to the flanges on the dryer are removed prior to connection.
10 columns PRE-FILTRATION This must be positioned as close to the dryer inlet as possible. Sullair grades ‘MPF’ (3) and ‘MPH’ (4) pre-filters must be fitted upstream of the inlet to prevent contamination of the desiccant beds.
INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM ELECTRICALLY Installation should only be carried out by a qualified electrical engineer. Ensure that the dryer is connected to a suitably rated AC supply with means of external fused isolation. The dryer must only be used on alternating current (AC) at the voltage shown on the rating plate (fixed to the instrumentation shroud) and MUST BE EARTHED.

Ensure that all instructions concerning operating and maintenance are strictly followed, and that the complete unit, with all accessories and safety devices is kept in good working order. Maintenance, overhaul and repair work must only be carried out by either Sullair or a Sullair authorised distributor.
The period of inspection under the regulations is to be decided by the owner of the equipment, but Sullair would recommend that the dryers aluminium componentry is internally inspected for corrosion within a six year period, or whenever the desiccant material is changed.

DRYFIL DESICCANT SAFETY DATA ® Sullair DRYFIL ® desiccant is a high performance Activated Alumina blend which is “NON-HAZARDOUS” for transportation. It is formed into spherical particles using clay binders, buff coloured, non-volatile and non- flammable. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS The product may contain some dust, if so an orinasal dust respirator should be worn when handling the product.
KNOWN MISUSE (Please ensure that the following do not occur in your installation). INLET FILTERS Installation of filters remote from dryer allowing further condensation to occur between filters and the dryer. Blow down valve upstream of filters causing back flow/possible collapse of filter element. Installing MPH/MPF filters in wrong flow direction.
No earth wire between earth terminal and armour cable clamp on shroud. ADDITIONAL ITEMS Use of non-recommended desiccant or non-genuine Sullair spare parts from alternative suppliers. Servicing undertaken by untrained personnel. Inability to maintain inlet pressure and temperature at levels stated for sizing.
Page 21
VALVES Incorrect piping of control solenoid valves. Incorrect piping of inlet/outlet valves. Operation of the dryer with solenoid valves disconnected. SERVICING Servicing of controller by untrained personnel (controller designed to be service free). Use of non-genuine parts or sensors. Servicing dryer whilst still connected to electrical power and compressed air. INLET COMPRESSED AIR AND ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY Air supply going outside dryer limits (3 bar g (44 psi g) min/ 13.0 bar g (189 psi g) max).
Should any defect occur during the warranty period and be notified in writing to Sullair or it’s authorised agent within the said period, Sullair will, at it’s sole option, remedy such...
