    ZEKS Ecl ipselM Hea! Reac!ivated Desiccant Dryers are designed to adsorb moisture from compressed air. The dryers are cOrl$tructed with two towers, each containing desiccanl beads, that alternate between on-line (drying) and offl ine (regenerating) modes, yielding a continuous stream of dry a ir atthe dryer's outlel.

    During normal operation, wet air passes through the on line tower and waler vapor from the air is adsorbed (collected) on the desiccant beads. Whi le air is being adsorbed in the on-line tower, the moisture on the desiccanl in the offline lower is removed by a process called des-orption (regeneration) ln standard heat reactivated operation, afler an initial rapid depres-surizalion , a port ion of dried air from the on-line tower passes through a heater and over the desiccant bed and carries the moisture off the bed and out the dryer's exhausl. With the dryer's Bi-Mode feature, the dryers may also be operated in a Heatless mode, which uses more purge air but does not require use of the heater.

    The continuous, alternating pro cess of adsorption and desorption is controlled using a Programmable Logic Controller that switches the towers in a specifie timed sequence. Very dry compressed air dew points are achieved through the continuous switching and operation of Ihis dryer. ZEKS offers heat react ivated dryers to provide either -40' F or - 1 OO"F pressure dew point ou! lel air.

    6. pRI NClplES OF OPERATION

    6.1 INTRODUCTION As deSCfibed in Section 1, waler vapor IS removed from compressed air by diverting air now allernalely between two towers fille(! wilh aclivaled alumina desiccanl. While one tower processes Ihe compressed air slream adsorbing waler vapor, the opposite tower regenerates by desorbing the water vapor and venting it 10 atmosphere.

    ZEKS Heat Reactivated Dryers are eq uipped with ZEKS' Bi-Mode feature. The OPC , .. Controller provides the ability 10 select between heated or heatiess regeneration. Both heated and heatless regenerat ion methods are described in the following sect ions. Reler to Section 8.2 for details on switching dryer operation between Heated Purge and Heatless Pressure Swing operation.

    NOTICE The OPC TM Controlrer must be ln the OFF position prior to changing the mode (heated purge 1 heatless) 01 the dryer. Aller the change Is made and the OPC '" is subsequently tumed ON, the dryer will be in the new mode of operation.

    6.2 DRYING CYCLE Salurated compressed air enlers the dryer and is diverted to the appropriate lowar by the Inlet Flow Valves. (Refer to the Process and Instrumentation Diagram.) The Right Tower Flow Valve is actuated to a closed position 10 prevenl air now Irom entering Ihe regenera!-ing lower. Simultaneously, lhe left Tower Flow Valve is aeluale

  • 6.3.1 Setting the Regeneration Air Flow Proper sett ing of the purge flow is necessary ta achieve proper dryer performance in the heatless and exlernally healed modes. Setting the purge f10w tao high will waste compressed air and if set 100 low, the dryer wil l nol achieve dew point per-formance. The purge adjustment manifold consists of the purge adjustment valve, purge pressure gauge, and the purge orifice. The purge pressure gauge is located between the purge adjustment valve and purge orifice. Manually adjust the purge ad just me ni valve until the reading on purge pressure gauge matches the purge pressure sett ing listed on the specification sheet in the front of this manual as weil as the tag attached to the gauge. Note that there are two purge gauge values cor-responding with each mode of operation.

    6.3.2 Heated Purge Regeneration ln the heal reactivaled mode, the process described in section 6.3.2 is repealed using 7.5% of dry compressed air expanded 10 atmospheric pressure. However, after air expansion through the Purge Orifice, the purge air is passed through the purge heater. This expanded, heated purge air is then passed through the regener-aling tower and exhausted out to atmosphere. Afler a three minute delay, the heat-ing process occurs for 2 hours and 57 minutes. During the heating process the electrie heater is cycled on and off by ZEKS' AceuTemp Solid state relay. This advaneed control ler precisely monitors purge air tempe rature and adjusts the heater temperatu re accard ingly. This results in a regeneration air temperature that remains w ithin 3 oF from the heater setpoint for the entire regeneration cycle, elimi-nating temperature swings assoeiated with contactor-based heating system. Upon complet ion of the three-hour heating period, the e lectric heater turns off. The dry regeneration air continues to flow for 57 minutes in order ta cool down the desie-cant bed.

    6.3.3 Heatless Pressure Swing Regeneration ln the heatless mode, following depressurization , regeneration uses approximale-Iy 15% of the dry compressed air expanded 10 atmospheric pressure ta complete the desorption process. As shown on the P & ID, the compressed air exits the dry-ing tower and a portion of the air f1 0ws through the purge adjustment valve and the Purge Orifice. Once the air has passed through the Purge Orifice, il expands la atmospheric pressure and continues the regeneration process. Desorption occurs as the desiecant releases waler vapor into the regeneration air and is exhausled Ihrough the Outlet Purge Valves.

    6.4 TOWER REPRESSURIZATION Upon completion of tower regeneration, and prior to changing the Inlet Flow Valve position to switch towers, the regenerated tower must be repressurized. Repressurizat ion is accomplished by closing the appropriate purge valve. Closing the Purge Valve allows the regeneration air to pressurize the lower.

    NOTICE Failure 10 repressurize prior ta IOlVer switchover will result in shocking the desiccant material and cause premature desiccant dusting.

    6

  • 6.4.1 Heated Purge Repressurization Three minutes prior to tower switchover, repressurizat ion is accomplished by clos-ing the appropr iate Purge Va lve. When the Purge Valve closes, the regeneration air begins to pressurize the tower. If the dryer is supplied with the optional repres-surizalion piping , the Repressurization Valve opens, allowing some additional air Irom the outiet of the dryer 10 assis! the purge air and to ensure adequate pressur-ization. Ouring norma l tower regeneration, the Repressurization Va lve is held closed so that the only source of air for regeneration passes through the purge adjustmen! assembly

    6 .4.2 Heatless Pressure Swing Repressurizal ion 45 seconds prior to tower switch-over, repressurization is accomplished by closing the appropriate Purge Valve. When the Purge Valve closes, the regeneration air begins to pressurize the tower. If the dryer is supplied with the optional repres-surization piping , the Repressurizat ion Valve opens, allowing some addit ional air from the outlet of the dryer ta assis! the purge air and 10 ensure adequate pressur-izalion. During normal lower regeneralion, the Repressurizat ion Valve is held closed so that the only source of air for regeneration passes through the purge adjustment assembly.

    6.5 VALVES Flow and Purge Valves are wo-way valves that are switched using air-operated double--acting ac!ua!ors. Each valve is actuated by a four-way solenoid valve as shawn on the P & ID.

    NOTtCE Actualed valves require 75 psi min. pressure for proper operation.

    The Inlet Flow Valves are connected as normally open valves. \Nhen the dryer is de-ener-gized, the solenoid valves for the Inle! Flow Valves supply control air ta the 'open" port on the appropriate valve actuator.

    Purge Valves are connected as normally closed valves. \Nhen the dryer is de-energized, the solenoid valves for the Purge Valves supply control air 10 the "closed" port on the appropriate valve actuator.

    Oulle! Check Valves, as weil as Purge Check Valves are single-direction check valves that w ill allow flow in the direction shawn on the P & ID, but not allow flow in the opposite direction.

    Once the last screen is displayed, depressing the SELECT DISPLAY butlon will return the display 10 the lop of the lis!'

    6.7 TIMING SEQUENCE Ali t iming functions are performed by ZEKS' DPCTIA Contro))er, an advanced micro PLC designed exclusively for ZEKS Eclipse'" dryers. The DPC"" Controller is completely pro-grammed at the factol)' and does not require any further adjuslmenl. The standard timing cycle switches the Inlet Flow Valve, which alternates the drying tower. At the same time as the Inlet Flow Valve opens, the appropriate tower Purge Valve opens to begin the purge flow generation. Once the pu rge regeneration flow portion of the dl)'er cycle is complete, tower repressurization begins as previously described.

    6.7.1 Heatless Pressure Swing rimer Cycle ln the heatless operating mode, the DPCT'" controls a ten-minute cycle. The tower switch-over occurs every five minutes. Ten seconds after tower switch-over occurs, the regenerating tower depressurizes and tower regeneration occurs for four min-utes and 15 seconds. At that time, tower repressurization begins.

    6.7.2 Heated Purge Tlmer Cycle ln the externally healed operating mode, the DPe T'" controls an eight-hour cycle. The tower switch-over occurs evel)' four hours. Ten seconds after switch-over occurs, the regenerating tower depressurizes for 50 seconds. After depressuriza-tion, heated regeneration begins and extends for 2 hours and 58 minutes. The heating supply is turned off and the purge air fiaI'.' continues for the next 58 min-utes. The purge air supply during th is lime is used ta cool down the hot desiccant After the cool down stage, a repressurization slage repressurizes the offline tower for 3 minutes

  • 6.8 RESTART MODES The DPC TM Control ler includes a Shutdown Sequence that is acl ivated when the dryer OFF butlon is depressed. This feature positions the valves to their failsafe position and resets the program and is the recommended method of shutling down the dryer. When the dryer is subsequently energized, the dryer is ready to run at the start of the program. Should, however, power be eut to the dryer before the Shutdown Sequence has been init i-ated, as would be the case from a power failu re, the dryer can be configured to restart in one of Iwo restart modes. Note that access to the settings to change the restart mode for the dryer are located in the TECHNICIAN MODE. Refer to Section 8.8 for a description of the restart-modes found in the TECHNICIAN MODE. Note that when the dryer is shut down using the OFF butlon, the dryer will require user intervention ta restart the dryer.

    6.8.1 Manual Mode (ZERO) ZEKS dryers are shipped from the factory in the Manual Mode. Afler power is re-supplied ta the dryer, the user will be presented with the ' PRESS ON' display. The valve switching and timing operations will only start once the ON bulton is depressed. In this configuration, la restart the dryer, the user must manually depress the ON button on the DPC's control panel.

    6.8.2 Auto Reslart Mode (LAST) ln this mode, the dryer w ili re--start automatically once power is applied ta the dryer. In TECHNICIAN MODE, th is operating mode is aclivated when the ' RESTART" prompt is set to "LAST". The OPcn .. will pick up where il left off in the program once power is applied.

    6.9 OPERATING TIMES ln the CUSTOMER MODE, the DPCru Controller provides access ta the following operat-ing hours of the dryer:

    7.1 MOISTURE INOICATOR (Standard) The moisture indicator senses a sample of the control air whlch is taken from the dryer oulle!. The indicator provides a gross indication of dew point deterioralion at the oulle! of the dryer. Under normal operating conditions, the indicator is blue. In the event of a dryer malfunction or prolonged dryer shut down, it wililum gray in the presence of moisture.

    7.2 HEATER HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM WlTH INTERLOCK (Standard) The Heater High Temperature Alarrn monitors the internai temperatu re of the heater hous-ing. Should a component fa ilure occur or system conditions result in the heater tempera-ture rising aboya the alarm set point, the dryer wi ll alarm. Ouring the alarrn condition, the healer is prevented from operating. the OPC'M halls the program at the point where the alarrn occurred and d isplays lhe condition in the OPC'" LCD display. The dryer will be unable 10 be resel untillhe temperature of the heater has fallen below the alarrn poin!. To reinstate the dryer, depress the RESET button on the OPC'" Controller ANO manually resel the Heater High Temperature Safety in the electrical enclosure. Note that the alarm condition will return should proper correct ive action not be taken.

    7.3 HEATER FAILURE ALARM (Standard) This feature produces an alarrn should the heater failto generate heat atlhe beginning of the heating cycle. Ouring the initial ten minutes of the heating cycle, the OPC '" Controller monilors the heater temperature. Should the heater temperature fail 10 rise to 150 OF within the ten minule period, the Heater Failure Alarm will he trlggered. During this alarm

    cond~ion, power to the heater is removed and the program is halted. Oepresslng the RESET butlon on the OPC '" COfitroller wi ll reinstate the program and provided the heater problem has been remedied, continue with normal operation.

    7.4 FAILURE TO SHIFT ALARM (Standard) ZEKS Failure To ShiflAlarm monitors the dryer sequencing functions to insure proper dryer operation by sensing the pressure in each lower via tower pressure switches. Should one of the following conditions occur, the OPC'" Cootroller will communicate the alarm condition. There are several types of switching failure modes that can be detecled by the Failure To Shift Alarrn feature. They are as follows:

    7.4.1 Failure 10 Repressurize At the end of the repressurization stage of the dryer operation, both lowers should be at line pressure. Should the pressure switches indicale that both towers are not at line pressure, the Failure to ShiftAlarm will activate and the OPC'" will stop the program at ifs current position in the program. The user must depress the RESET button at which time the OPC~" Control!er will resume operation from the last step in the program.

    7.4.2 Failure 10 Oepressurize At the end of the depressurization stage of the dryer operation, the regenerating tower should be al atmospheric pressure. Should the pressure switches indcate thal this is not the case, the Failure to Shifl A1arm will activate and the OPC'''' will stop the program at ifs current position in the program. The user musl depress the RESET button at which time the OPC TM Conlroller wi ll resume operation trom the last step in the program.

  • 7.5 HIGH HUMIOITY ALARM (Optional) The High Humid ity A larm communicates an alarm condition in the event that outlet dew point deterioration occurs. One of tv.Ia maisture sensars are used ta sample the outlet air moisture content. VVhen a dl)'er is provided withaut Moisture Load Control' Oew Point Display option , a humidistat w ith a re lative humidity sensor is preset 10 communicate a High HumidityAlarm condition when the dew point rises abave _1 0F (for -40 oF dl)'ers). Refer ta Section 8.10 for details on enabling' disabling the High Humid ity alarm on dl)'ers equipped wilh this feature.

    When a dl)'er is pravided with Moisture Load Control' Dew Point Display option, a dew point sensar is used ta delect this alarm condition The dew point sensor transmits the outlet pressure dew point ta the OPCT" Cantral ler. The OPC T" Controller compares the dew point ta the custamer specified set point. Shauld the dew point be greater than the set point, a High Humidity Alarm will be initiated. Refer ta Section 8.10 for details on set-ting the High Humidity Selpoint for dl)'ers equipped w ith the Moisture Load Control' Oew Point Display feature.

    7.6 HIGH OUTLET TEMPERATURE (Optianal) This option provides continuaus monitoring of the the dryer discharge air temperature via a thermostat tha! senses the outlet air temperature during dryer operation. Shauld a high oullet temperature condition exist, the ala rm is displayed on the DPC"" Cantroller ta aler! maintenance personnel of a malfunction. This alarm does not in!errupt the dryer p ro-gram. Oepressing the RESET button will clear the alarm provided the alarm condition as been addressed. Note Ihat the alarm will clear automatically once the high temperature condition is corrected.

    7.7 DEW POINT TRANSMITTER FAULT (Optional w! MLC) When operating the dryer with the Moisture Load Control (MLC) activated , should the OPC TM Cantral ler deteel a tault with the Oew Point Transmitter, the Contraller will display the message, "ALARM - MLC OFF' . When Ihis alarm indication appears, the MLC feature is automalical ly disabled. Once the source of the fault is detected and remedied, the user MUST REACTIVATE the MLC feature in TECHNIC IAN MODE. Note that provided the High Dew PointAlarm feature has been activated in TECHNICIAN MODE, depressing the RESET button without remedying the prablem will display the message "OP SENSOR FAUL T' after a brief delay. OtherNise, the dryer will continue to operale in the standard timed drying cycle.

    Note that with the MLC fealure off and the High Dew Point Alarm activated in TECHN I-ClAN MODE, should the Controller delect a fault \Vith the Dew Point Transmitter, the DPCTM Controller will display the message, "OP SENSOR FAULT". As with the other alarms, pressing RESET without addressing the source of the fau lt wil l result in an new alarm after a brief delay

    8.6 MOISTURE LOAD CONTROL 1 DEW PO INT DISPLAY (OPTIONAL) The Moisture Load Control { Dew Point Display option includes a dew point sensor that transmits the outlet pressure dew point to the DPCTM Controller. The DPC'" Controller displays the out let pressure dew point in real-lime. This option package also includes Moisture Load Control, an energy savings feature that matches moisture load ing and regeneration energy usage. Drying equipment is typically operated below full flow rating and/or below maximum water loading capacity of the desiant bed . The Moisture Load Control feature utilizes the data communicated from the dew point sensor and exlends the normaltimed switching sequence in proportion to the moisture loading on the dryer.

    When the Moisture Load Contro l feature is turned off, ai l switching sequences occur as described in Section 6.7. When the Moisture Load Control feature is activated, the drying sequence is governed by the outlet pressure dew point as measured by the dew point sensor. When the sampled outlet dew point registers below the customer set point (_43F default for _40F dryers; _1 02F on _100F dryers), an immediate change in dryer opera-tion w ill not be noticeable. The dryer will continue its normal regeneration process through tower re-pressurization. Once the tower is re-pressurized, both lowers wi ll be al line pres-sure but air will only f10w through the tower indicated by the DynOptic'" Panel Tower switch over sequence is delayed until the dew point elevales above the Moisture Load Control setpoint, at which point tower switch over will our.

    NOTICE

    New desiccant has a moisture holding capacity higher than the dryer's design regen-eration capacity. The desiccant ages in a three- to six- month lime period at which point it stabil izes to an "aged" state. During this aging process at initial start-up or after desiccant replacement, the Moisture Load Control feature should be deactivated.

  • 8.7 POWER SAVER (OPTIONAL, HEATED PURGE MODE) On dryers equipped with Power Saver, the temperature of the purge exhaust is monilored and displayed on the DPCTM Controller. After a lower switch-over, and allhe beginning of tower regeneration, the purge exhaust temperature wi ll be re latively low (normally 90 10 110"F). The purge exhaust temperature will increase as desiccant regeneralion progress-es. As nearly ail of the previously adsorbed moisture is driven off of the desiccanl, the exhaust lemperature will begin 10 rise . The timing for the temperature change will vary depending on moisture loading on the lowers . When the purge exhaust lemperature reaches 195"F, which ind icales that the desiccant heating is complete, Ihe OPCTM Controller wil l remove power to the heater. Once the heater is tumed off, Ihe tower cool down process begins and continues for 57 minutes. Purge air will continue 10 exhaust and the exhaust air tempe rature w ill cont inue to rise (25QoF is not uncommon) as it removes the heat from the regeneraled desiccant material. As the cool down progresses, the exhaust temperature wil l beg in to decrease. After cooling. Ihe Purge Valves close and the optional Repressurization Valve (if equipped) opens.

  • 9. INSTALLATION AND START-UP

    9.1 APPLICATION AND CHECK ANALYSIS ZEKS ECLIPSE Regenerat ive air dryers are shipped complete with desiccant up ta and including model 2000ZHA. On larger units. the desiccant is packaged separately for ease in handling. Refer to Section 10.6 for desiccant fill procedures.

    To achieve the best dryer performance, carefully check that the design and installation requirements outlined below are satisfied

    ZEKS dryers are avai lable w ith an operating range from 75 - 150 PSIG. Air available for your usage w ill vary with operating pressure. The maximum design pressure of the stan-dard Eclipse Dryers is 150 PSIG For units that require higher operating pressures, con-suit your ZEKS representalive.

    Dryers are sized according ta flow and pressure drop, not pipe size. The difference between the inlet and the outlet flow is the amount of purge air required This air is exhausted ta atmosphere and is not available for use downstream. Make certain air sup-ply ta dryer meets air demand plus purge air requirements.

    NOTfCE The standard dryer is not rated for any gas other than air.

    NOTICE

    ZEKS recommends that the mufflers be cleaned afler initial start-up ta remove any des-iccant dust generated during shipment. After running dryer for initial 30 minute period, de-energize / depressurize dryer and remove mufliers. Disassemble and clean the removable insert inside the muffler core. Reinstall mufflers prior ta operating dryer.

    9.2 LOCATING AND MOUNTING The dryer must never be installed where air and/or ambient lemperature exceeds 120"F or drops below +35F. Locate dryer to avoid extremes of heat and cold Irom ambi-ent or other cond itions. If the dryer is exposed 10 ambient conditions below 32F, protec-tion must be provided againsl condensation and freez ing as described in SecUon 6.15. VVhere applicable, dryer tower1> may be insulated ta reduce heat loses. Avoid locating dryer outside or where it is exposed ta the el ements.

    The dryer, or any air system componenl , must be located to avoid exposure ta pulsation in the compressed air as well as possible surges due to fluctuating demand. In addition, care must be used to minimize exposure to v ibration Iransmitted through mounting pads or piping.

    Provide adequate space around the dryer for normal maintenance requirements and serv-ice.

    24

  • If the dryer is shipped with the desiccant packaged separately, install the desiccant after locating and mounting. Desiccant has been provided separately la minimize handling difficulty and placing unnecessary stress on the dryer assembly.

    Boit the dryer 10 the foundation using the boit holes provided in the base frame. Anchor bolts should project a minimum of 3.5 inches above the foundation and allow prop-er nut and washer assembly.

    9.3 PIPING Pipe the compressed air lines ta the inlet and oullet connections. Locate the prefilters as close as possible ta the dryer. Ensure the positioning allows for ease of servicing

    Note that the wet air inlet is located al the dryer's upper manifold and the dry oullet air is Iocated at dryer's lower manifold. In situations where air supply is required 24- hours a day (it is undesirable ta interrupt the airflow) , a three-valve bypass system is recommend-ed ta bypass the dryer. Ta keep pressure drop al a minimum, use the fewest elbows nec-essary

    Once a il piping has been connected ail joints, including those on the dryer, should be soap bubble tested at line pressure ta ensure no joints have been damaged in transit and site placement.

    9.4 FILTRATION Il is important that a prefilter and an afterfi ller be provided in your dryer installation.

    NOTICE

    Ai l dryers must have proper fittration. Liquid water and oil must be removed before Ihe air enlers the dryer. Ensure separalors , prefilters and drains are in good working order. Fai lure la do sa will void warranty.

    It is recommended Ihat a mechanical separalor be inslalled immediately preceding the prefllter ta remove the bulk liquid and enlrained wate r,

    Coalescing prefilters, located before the dryer, proteet desiceant beds from contamination by ail , enlrained waler, pipe scale, etc , thereby, extending dryer desiceant life. Locate prefi llers as close la dryer as possible

    Afterfi lters. located after the dryer, help eliminate the possibility of desiccant dusting carrying over inlo the air system.

    High temperalure fillers must be used 10 prevent rupture possibil ity in the event dryer failure should occur, Consult your ZEKS represenlalive for appropriate filler selection.

    9.7 SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES

    The following procedures musl be followed 10 properly shut down the Heat React iv" ted Dryer to avoid damage to the unit and preserve dryer performance. The dryer requires compressed air 10 "cluate the valves. Removing the compressed air supply prior 10 shul-ting down the dryer will resul! in improper valve positioning . In addition, the dryer musl complete a specifie Shutdown Sequence prior 10 being turned off. Should power be removed from the dryer or air pressure removed from Ihe dryer prior 10 the completion of the Shuldown Sequence, damage 10 the dryer may cccur. laslly, the inlet valves are con-figured 10 open on a loss of power and the purge valves configured to close (fail safe). Should a valve open 10 a depressurized lower, as would be the case if the dryer were slopped in mid-cycle, a rapid pressurization will occur.

    NOTICE The force of repeated rapid pressurizations wlll damage the dryer.

    NOTICE On dryers eQuipped wlth Moisl\Jre load Control (MlC), merely leaving II"Ie unit in MlC without " compressed air supply is nol advlsed, as it is likely that the system pressure will decay over lime. Should Ihis occur, Ihe unit will go into a FTS alarm as weil as risk misalignment of valves should swilchover occur prior 10 reinstating the " ir compressor.

    27

  • CAUTION

    Oryer shouklnot be shut down during the heating cycle. Ooing 50 may cause the Heater High Temperature alarm to activate, which will require the user to manually reset the Heater High Temperature safety in the control enclosure. If the dryer must be shut down during the heating cycle, advance the program via the Program Jog function (see Section 8. 11) to the end of the heating cycle prior to init iating the Shutdown Sequence.

    For ail Heat Reaclivated Oryers that will be routinely shut down and restarted, ZEKS ree-ommends that an isolation valve be installed atlhe dryer oullel. Upon restarting the dryef, it is likely tha! the pressure downstream of the dryer will have decayed. V\lhen starting the dryer withoutthe valve (or w i!h the valve in the fully open position), the high velocities of the air through the towers could damage the desiccan!, as weil as provide unprocessed a ir down stream.

  • 10.6 DESICCANT CHANGEOUT PROCEDURE

    To avoid in jury, depressurize dryer before perlorming any service.

    CAUTION

    Be su re to wear respiratory protection during the draining and filling process to mini-mize inhalation of desiccant, as desiccant will produce dus! during this procedure.

    Eclipse dryers are furnished wi!h fill and drain ports on each desiccant tower. Remove the caps on both ports.

    Ta assis! in getling the desiccant to flow from the tower, insert a small rod in to the drain port as necessary. This may be required as the desiccant is packed into the tow-ers which may interfere with the desiccant flow from the towers.

    Retainer screens, located at the inlet and outlet piping connections of the tower, are removable on ail models. It is suggested that these screens be removed and cleaned al the l ime of desiccant changeout. These screens can be accessed by disconnecting the upper and lower manifolds from the dryer towers.

    After cleaning the retainer screens, replace screens and reatlach the outlet port plug.

    With the fill port plug removed, fi ll the dryer tower wi\h the appropriate grade and size desiccant. The level and grade of the desiccant should be consistent with the Desiccant Fill Chart.

    CAUTION

    Desiccant quantity, positioning and grades must match the corresponding values in the Desiccant Fill Chari. Failure to do sa may result in poor dryer perlormance.

    Once the towers have been fi lled, replace the fill pori plug on each tower.

    Any connections disturbed in the desiccant changeout process should be leak tested prior to re-commissioning the dryer.
