SYSTEM PURGE AIR DRYER
DESCRIPTION
The function of the AD-SP
collect and remove air system contaminants in solid, liquid
and vapor form before they enter the brake system. It provides
clean, dry air to the components of the brake system which
increases the life of the system and reduces maintenance
costs. Daily manual draining of the reservoirs is eliminated.
The system purge designation is used because the
™
AD-SP
air dryer uses a small portion of system air pressure
from the supply and front axle service reservoirs to perform
the purge or regenerative function. An SC-PR
protection valve or a valve that performs the same function
is always used in conjunction with the AD-SP
protect the service system.
™
The AD-SP
air dryer consists of two major component
groups, a spin off desiccant cartridge assembly and a die
cast aluminum body assembly. The desiccant cartridge is
self contained and serviced as a complete assembly. The

assembly. In addition, the non-serviceable purge control
valve is located in the body. All service and replacement
can be accomplished from the exterior of the dryer without
removal from the vehicle. The spin-on desiccant cartridge
is removed and installed using a "strap wrench."
™
The AD-SP
air dryer has three female pipe thread air
connections identified as follows:
