Safety Safety Regulations Read this service manual very carefully and observe all cautionary references before the initial start of this refrigerated dryer and before carrying out any maintenance on the unit. Explanation of Symbols and References This symbol is placed before all safety references where there is dan- ger to life and limb.
Signs and labels of reference may not be removed or rendered un- readable. Attention! Any alterations or reconstruction carried out without the prior written authorization of KAESER COMPRESSORS Inc. will invalidate the war- ranty. Refrigerant Initial startup of and maintenance work on the refrigerant circuit may only be carried out by persons who have been trained in the safety concepts of refrigeration engineering.
Rinse immediately with open eyelids and plenty of running water for at least 10 min- utes and seek medical advice if pain persists. Spare Parts The use of KAESER original parts guarantees safe and reliable operation of the refrigerated dryer. Environmental Protection...
General General The service manual must always be available for use at the location of the refrigerated dryer. Proper use The refrigerated dryer is intended solely for drying compressed air. Any other use outside of this purpose is considered improper. The manufacturer cannot accept liability for any damage caused by improper use;...
Transport Transport Transport Instructions Attention! Under no circumstances lift the refrigerated dryer with the compressed air inlet and outlet connections or lay the refrigerated dryer on its side. Serious damage can result from such treatment of the refrigerated dryer. To prevent damage to the panelling of the refrigerated dryer always use a jack lift or a forklift truck for transport.
Construction and Operation Construction and Operation Items referred to in ( ) correspond with the items in the Pipe and Instrument Flow Diagram (see chapter 5.6). Construction The main component of the refrigerated dryer comprises a combined heat exchanger (heat transmitter).
Construction and Operation The high pressure liquid is then forced through a capillary tube (7). By forcing the refriger- ant through this restriction, the refrigerant becomes a low pressure liquid. The low pres- sure, liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (2) where heat from the compressed air is transferred to the refrigerant.
Construction and Operation 3 LED flashing continuously: a fault exists 8 Operational status --- light emitting diode 9 TEST pushbutton (condensate drain) 5.4.4 Functional check Check the function of the ECO ---DRAIN by pressing the TEST pushbutton (9). The ECO --- DRAIN will switch to the discharge mode every 2 to 3 seconds as long as the button is de- pressed.
B Cooling air outlet Attention! Installing of inlet and/or exhaust air ducting without prior written ap- proval from of KAESER COMPRESSORS Inc. is not permitted. Compressed Air Connection Attention! Use flexible connecting pipes at the compressed air inlet and dis- charge to ensure vibration isolation, prevent strain on piping connec- tions and allow easy installation.
Installation Shut--- off valves: All power driven systems must be equipped with a main stop system for all forms of energy feed, the operation of which determines the start and stop of the energy supply to the system. The compressed air inlet and outlet pipework must be provided with shut off arrangements (e.g.
Installation Electrical Connection The main power supply and overcurrent protection must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC, OSHA and any appli- cable local codes. For fuse and wire recommendations, see chapter 1.6. The refrigerated dryer is delivered completely wired, ready for connection to the power supply.This connection must be made as detailed in the electrical diagram (see chapter 11.1).
Attention! The internal components of the refrigerated dryer are factory adjusted for correct operation. Adjustments may not be made to these compo- nents without prior written consultation with KAESER Compressors Inc. Points to be Observed before Switching On: NON --- OBSERVANCE OF THESE OR OTHER REFERENCES (WARNING;...
Initial Start-up Ready for Operation Attention! Do not start the refrigerated dryer until completing the following: The refrigerated dryer is installed according to the conditions stated in chapter 6. All electrical connections, air piping and condensate lines are correctly connected and properly tightened.
Operation Operation During operation of the refrigerated dryer, condensate is separated from the compressed air. The condensate must be drained and collected in a suitable container. It must be disposed of according to Federal and local environmental codes. Collect the accumulated condensate in a container and dispose of properly. Instrument Panel Main switch Indicator --- refrigerant compressor ON...
Operation Explanation of the colored segment scale of the pressure dew point indication: (suction pressure gauge) Blue --- white range (low suction pressure) results in too low a pressure dewpoint due --- Evaporator temperature too low (evaporator freeze---up) --- Dryer too large or very low air demand. Refer to chapter 1.4 Green range (normal suction pressure) results in a normal pressure dew point.
Operation If the control lamp (2) does not extinguish after approximately 15 min- utes then a fault is apparent (see chapter 8.4.3). Attention! Do not open the compressed air shut--- off devices (inlet/outlet) until the control lamp (2) is extinguished. Open the shut ---off valve of the compressed air inlet slowly (admission of the compressed air).
Refrigerated dryer iced up on the air Switch off the dryer until the air system side. has thawed. If the system ices up again after starting again, refer to authorized KAESER distributor. 8.4.3 Pressure dew point too high Possible fault: Remedy: Ambient temperature too high.

Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance Instructions: Before starting work, follow the procedure below to ensure the unit is not started or energized while maintenance work is being performed: Work on the electrical equipment of the refrigerated dryer may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or trained personnel under the supervision of a qualified electrician according to local codes.
Maintenance Escaping compressed air and/or refrigerant can cause injury to per- sonnel and lead to damage to the dryer. Check all pipework, hoses and screwed fittings for leakage every two to three months and carry out a visual check for any external damage. Correct any faults immediately! The refrigerant contained in the refrigerating system may not be vented to the open air.
Outlet hose of the ECO ---DRAIN is blocked. If necessary, clean or replace the outlet drain hose. Diaphragm valve is clogged. See chapter 9.2.5. Solenoid coil is defective. Contact authorized KAESER distributor. Screw on the left ---hand side panel. ¡ 9.2.5 Cleaning the ECO --- DRAIN Clean the condensate drain monthly, or more frequently depending on the degree of con- tamination of the compressed air.

Maintenance Reassembly of the ECO --- DRAIN: Attention! It is recommended that parts subject to wear, such as the diaphragm, valve piston and O rings are renewed for reasons of safety and relia- bility. Check the diaphragm (2), the existence and correct seating of the O rings (3) and (7) on the diaphragm seat (4) and diaphragm cover (6).
