direct expansion refrigerated air dryer 2. 1 compressed air installation principle A backup wrench must be used when tightening air inlet and outlet pipework connections. Failure to properly tighten inlet and outlet pipework without use of a backup wrench could result in dam- age to the dryer and void warranty.
direct expansion refrigerated air dryer NDX 0950 to NDX 4750 For NDX 0950- NDX 1350, there is only one cooling/drying circuit. For NDX 1750 - NDX 4750, there is a multi-circuits cooling process in parallel. operating principle 1. Compressed air, with high temperature and humidity (relative 100%), from the compressor enters the dryer through an air circuit/freon circuit plate heat exchanger.
direct expansion refrigerated air dryer installation Note: These instructions help to improve the service durability of the equipment. Please read them carefully and follow them. Location of the compressed air dryer 1. Locate the air dryer on a surface in a horizontal position. 2.
direct expansion refrigerated air dryer by pass Note: Illustration is for example purposes only. Inlet and outlet connections as well as dimensional information will vary by model. Refer to the drawing of your specific model air dryer and consult with a compressed air piping contractor for appropriate installation.
2. Appropriate protection should be installed to avoid over current and possible electrocution due to short- circuit before installing the air dryer. 3. Proper grounding should be installed. 4. Permissible operating voltage range: ± 5% 5. Refer to the electrical schematic and direct any questions to nano-purification solutions technical support. operation Function test...

direct expansion refrigerated air dryer Condensate drain, strainer maintenance The Y-strainer provided with the condensate drain helps to trap particulate con- tamination and minimize the potential for leakage at the drain seat. It is necessary to clean the Y-strainer periodically to maintain proper operation of the drain. How often depends on cleanliness of the compressed air pipework and other compo- nents in the compressed air stream.
