HEATLESS DESICCANT AIR DRYER 1.11 Proper use of the Dryer This dryer has been designed, manufactured and tested only to be used to separate the humidity normally contained in compressed air. Any other use has to be considered improper. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any problem arising from improper use;...
Page 12: Installation Site
HEATLESS DESICCANT AIR DRYER Installation Site 1. Install dryer in a vertical (upright) position. In systems where air usage fluctuates or there are sudden demands, protect dryer against air flow surges by providing sufficient piping between dryer and point of air use or by installing a receiver tank between dryer and point of air use.

Page 15: Operation
HEATLESS DESICCANT AIR DRYER Operation SET UP 1. Regenerative Dryers and Desiccant are shipped separately on dryers of 1000 scfm and larger to prevent damage to the dryer during shipment. Fill both towers with desiccant following the procedures outlined in the section titled REPLACING DESICCANT (Page 17).
Page 16: Recommendations For Optimal Performance
HEATLESS DESICCANT AIR DRYER Recommendations for Optimal Performance 1. Do not exceed rated design flow, inlet temperature or operating pressure. 2. Make sure dryer is turned on when air is passed through the unit. Tower switching is vital to the successful drying of air.
Page 17: Maintenance
6. Should a problem arise, consult TROUBLE SHOOTING (Page 44). IMPORTANT: HL heatless desiccant air dyers are designed to use a specific desiccant. When replacing the desiccant, always use desiccant of the same size and type as that which was supplied with your dryer. For more information, please consult the factory.

Page 20: Optional Equipment
HEATLESS DESICCANT AIR DRYER OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT OPERATING THE ES ENERGY SAVER BASIC CONTROLLER (MODELS HL0070 to HL0750) When a Dryer is equipped with Energy Saver, the controller monitors the dew point of the air leaving the dryer. At the end of the half cycle, if the dew point is better than the set point, the controller will hold the online tower from switching and leave it in service, processing air.
