  • Page 2 Page 2 of 34 FOREWORD The compressed air dryer systems have been designed and manufactured to ensure that maximum safety and performance is achieved. It is expected that users of these systems will employ safe working practices and ensure that when installing, commissioning, operating or maintaining the equipment, any legal requirements are fulfilled.
  • Page 3 Page 3 of 34 RECOMMENDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Daily 1. Open kaddis drains on lower manifold and valve housings to discharge any entrained condensate. 2. Ensure ’power on’ light is illuminated (SHR versions only). Monthly As above and include: 1. Ensure cam timer motor rotates to specification. 2.

  • Page 16 SECTION COLUMN ASSEMBLY A4.1 Column/Desiccant Removal Remove upper manifold as described in manifold section and remove gaskets. The desiccant can now be extracted from the column using a vacuum cleaner. Bottom column bolts can then be removed and the column lifted clear A4.2 Desiccant Replacement Ensure columns are free from dust and that the lower manifold gasket is in good condition.
  • Page 17 SAR COLUMN ARRANGEMENT A4.2.1 GENERAL Each extrusion consists of 2 E-shaped chambers containing a total of 15kg of desiccant material. Sullair suggests a performance life of 10,000 - 30,000 hours, however, many factors can influence this nominal figure which should only be used as a guide. Accurate dewpoint monitoring with a hygrometer is the only true indication of the desiccant condition ( consult Sullair).
