Contact factory before authorizing any warranty refrigeration service on the air dryer. Identify the dryer by model and serial numbers when calling factory.

Maintenance The dryer is factory tested before shipping. All controls are calibrated for automatic operation. If the dryer is installed in clean surroundings, within the temperature limits of the specified ambient, the dryer will run trouble-free for a very long time. Routine maintenance procedures recommended are the following:

To back-flush, disconnect air dryer, plug the drain line and fill the air system with the detergent water solution. Hold it for 4-6 hours. Circulate the detergent from air outlet to air inlet with a pump. Flush the system with warm water. If pressure-drop still exists, contact factory.

1) Check the fan motor(s) for proper operation to maintain the cooling air to be drawn through the condenser and blown over the refrigerant compressor. 2) Clean the condenser periodically to maintain the proper heat transfer on the condenser coil. Dirty condenser will raise the head pressure of the refrigeration system and trip the compressor “off” at the overload control. Running the compressor on high head pressures may cause premature failures. Check the ambient temperature limits to be maintained at the installation.

3) Pressure drop across the dryer may increase slowly as the particulate material coming through the air stream plugs up the internals of the heat exchanger. A back-flush procedure is recommended to clean the air system.
