General information Please complete the following information according to the type plate, vessel plate and contract documents. This enables the manufacturer to clearly identify the dryer and makes it easier to give advice if there are queries. It also simplifies the provision of spare parts and support.
Warranty notes For the conditions necessary for compliance with the warranty, please refer to our "General Terms of Sale and Delivery" The warranty shall be void if: The adsorption dryer is used for anything other than its intended use. ...
Signs and symbols used The following symbols are listed in this manual and/or are affixed to the construction: Symbol Meaning This symbol indicates tips for the efficient use of the adsorption dryer! Note This symbol indicates instructions for the safe handling of the adsorption dryer.
Intended purpose / use The oil vapor adsorber is designed to be used to reduce the oil vapor fractions in the compressed air and reduce odorous and aromatic substances in industrial compressed air systems. It requires the supply of compressed air from a supply source.
Exceeding or even significantly undercutting the design data can lead to bad residual oil contents! The compressed air supplied to the oil vapor adsorber must be of the following quality: Free from aggressive and corrosive substances, Free from particles and solids, ...
Safety notes The CTAP oil vapor adsorbers have been built according to state-of-the-art technology and the latest safety regulations. However, there is still a risk of danger during operation, maintenance, installation and servicing, and during transport and setup. In particular, the disregard of safety regulations when handling compressed air may result in serious injury or death.
Danger zones Risk due to pressure-bearing parts Risk of slipping due to spilt desiccant on the floor Never operate the adsorption dryer outside of the load limits shown on the vessel plate. Never carry out work if the adsorption dryer is under pressure. ...
Active carbon The active carbon used does not fall into the hazardous substances group and is therefore not subject to labelling requirements. Nevertheless, please observe all common safety measures regarding using chemicals. Please also note that the material accumulates contaminants, in particular oil. This can cause additional dangers.
Function description From the filled adsorbent material, (active carbon in this case), oil vapors and odorous and aromatic substances are stored in the open pores of the active carbon, thus reducing its content in the compressed air. Through the joining pipe and possible pre-treatment, the compressed air is fed via the inlet into the diffuser (flow distributor and sieve).
Transport, storage and setup Transport Although great care is taken, please check immediately whether the adsorption dryer has been damaged in any way. Any kind of transportation damage must be pointed out immediately to the deliverer and manufacturer. Suitable hoisting equipment must be provided for the transportation, loading and unloading process.
Setup Please refer to the setup conditions described in Section 2.1. The basic data required for the setup can be found in the Performance data in Section 2.2. When setting up, make sure that the ground is level and capable of bearing the weight. ...
Demands on the installation Prior to installation, check the following points: The compressed air system and the adsorption dryer must be free from pressure. For compressed air systems which need to remain under pressure, shut-off devices must be protected against unintentional opening. ...
Pressurization Only once you have successfully completed all the checks listed in Section 8.1 can you perform the following steps in the specified order. Wear ear protection for this, as the flow noise can get very loud. Make sure that the compressed air system is under pressure upstream of the adsorber.
Disconnecting from the system Should you have to disconnect the adsorption dryer from the mains, e.g. for a maintenance operation, make sure that this work is only carried out when the device is free from pressure. Wear your personal protective equipment. Proceed as follows: ...
Maintenance Maintenance work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel! Make sure that the device is free from pressure before starting work and observe the applicable accident prevention regulations for the place of installation! Regular maintenance work The following table gives an overview of the intervals and scope of the maintenance work: Maintenance of Activity...
Replacing the filter elements The job of the after-filter is to stop any abrasion dust that has built up from the active carbon. Proceed as follows to replace this filter element: Close the cut-off valves upstream and downstream of the adsorber. ...

If the specified amount of activated carbon cannot be filled due to a lack of available volume, if necessary, compress the activated carbon by gently vibrating the profile container and then continue filling. Both profile containers should have the same filling height. Only fill the activated carbon up to the lower edge of the diffuser of the later reinserted upper plate.
Faults The following faults may occur: Fault Cause Measure Volumetric flow via the Adapt to operating Oil in the compressed air downstream of the adsorber exceeds the conditions adsorber Upstream cooling intended parameters Inlet temperature is too ...
