Secador de aire, Meritor WABCO System


Saver 1200
42.28.050 Información General y Principios de Operación
Información general
El secador de aire System Saver 1200 (ver Fig. 1 ) es un secador de aire desecante, montado verticalmente entre el compresor
de aire y el depósito de suministro. El secador de aire recibe aire comprimido caliente, que enfría y filtra antes de enviarlo al
depósito de suministro, lo que reduce la acumulación de suciedad y humedad en el sistema de aire del vehículo.

3. Puerto del Gobernador (al gobernador aéreo)
4. Bote desecante
5. Conjunto de válvula de regeneración
6. Puerto de salida (al depósito de suministro de aire)

8. Válvula de corte del turbocompresor
9. Puerto de entrada (desde el compresor de aire)

Figura 1, System Saver 1200 de WABCO

El secador de aire consta de un cuerpo ligero de aluminio y acero. El cartucho desecante está contenido en un recipiente
giratorio en la parte superior del secador de aire.
Los siguientes componentes se conectan al cuerpo del secador de aire:
• Válvula de alivio de presión: esta válvula protege el secador de aire contra la sobrepresurización. La válvula está
conectada directamente al secador de aire.

• Recipiente desecante: una carcasa cilíndrica de acero que contiene los elementos filtrantes y el desecante necesarios
para filtrar y secar el aire que pasa a través de ella.
• Conjunto de calentador/termostato: ubicado en la base del secador de aire, este conjunto está diseñado para evitar que
la humedad acumulada se congele.
• Válvula de retención de salida: esta válvula evita que el aire del sistema regrese a través del secador de aire y escape
por la válvula de purga durante el ciclo de descarga del compresor.
• Válvula de retención controlada por presión: esta válvula está separada del secador de aire y está instalada en el
tanque de aire del sistema. La válvula permite que el aire regrese desde el tanque del sistema al tanque de suministro
siempre que la presión del sistema de aire permanezca entre el rango normal de activación y desactivación del
regulador de aire.
• Válvula de purga: esta válvula permite que la humedad y los contaminantes acumulados se expulsen del secador de
aire durante el ciclo de purga.
• Válvula de regeneración: esta válvula permite que el aire de los tanques de suministro y del sistema pase por alto la
válvula de retención de salida y fluya hacia la válvula de regeneración. Luego, el aire fluye a través de un orificio donde
se expande y elimina la humedad del desecante. Luego, el aire sale a través de la válvula de purga.
• Silenciador (Silenciador): un componente opcional que se conecta a la válvula de purga y se utiliza para eliminar la
mayor parte del ruido durante el ciclo de purga del secador de aire.
• Válvula de corte del turbocompresor: esta válvula cierra el camino entre el compresor de aire y la válvula de purga del
secador de aire para ayudar a mantener la presión de sobrealimentación para obtener la máxima potencia del motor
durante el ciclo de descarga del compresor.

Principios de Operación
Hot, compressed air enters the air dryer through the inlet port. As the hot air is forced into the desiccant cartridge, the
temperature of the compressed air falls to nearly ambient. Oil and water vapor condense and initially settle into the base of the
dryer. The moisture-laden air also passes through the desiccant bed, where any remaining moisture is retained by the desiccant.
The clean air then passes through the air dryer outlet port to the supply reservoir. See Fig. 2.

6. Pressure Relief Valve

Fig. 2, Sectional View

When the compressor reaches about 125 psi (862 kPa), the purge valve opens, allowing the initial decompression of the dryer,
and expelling the water and contaminants collected in the base of the dryer. The regeneration valve, along with the pressure-
controlled check valve, allows the system air to flow back through the dryer. This back flow dries the desiccant for the next cycle.

42.28.100 Safety Precautions


Safety Precautions

 WARNING
When draining the air system, do not look into the air jets or direct them toward another person, as dirt or sludge
particles may be in the airstream. Do not disconnect pressurized hoses because they may whip as air escapes from
the line. Failure to take all necessary precautions during service operations of the air brake system can cause
personal injury.

When working on or around air brake systems and components, observe the following precautions.
1. Apply the parking brake, chock the tires, and stop the engine when working under the vehicle. Draining the air system may
cause the vehicle to roll. Keep hands away from the brake chamber push rods and slack adjusters, which may apply as air
system pressure drops.
2. Wear safety goggles.
3. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing air under pressure; it may whip as air escapes. Never remove a
component or pipe plug unless you are sure all system pressure has been depleted.
4. Don't disassemble a component before reading and understanding recommended procedures. Use only the correct tools
and follow basic tool safety.
5. Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, etc. should be the same size, type, length, and strength as the original
equipment. When replacing tubing or hose, be sure that all of the original supports, clamps, or suspending devices are
installed or replaced.
6. Replace any components that have stripped threads or damaged parts. Don't attempt to repair parts by machining.
7. Never exceed recommended air pressure.

42.28.210 Operating Tests


Operating Tests

 WARNING
Before starting the procedures below, read the information in Safety Precautions, 100. Failure to follow the safety
precautions during service operations on the air brake system can cause personal injury.

Air Dryer Operating Check


1. Drain the air system.
2. Start the engine and build the air pressure to as close to cutout pressure as possible (about 125 psi [862 kPa]).
3. When the compressor reaches the unload cycle, the air dryer purges, beginning regeneration of the air dryer.
4. During the purge cycle, which lasts about 10 to 15 seconds, the wet tank and secondary system tank with pressure-
controlled check valve will drop about 10 psi (69 kPa). Check the secondary system air gauge in the cab dash panel.
5. If the secondary gauge needle does not show a pressure drop of about 10 psi (69 kPa), one of the following problems may
exist.
• A pressure-controlled check valve is not installed.
• The pressure-controlled check valve is installed in the wrong air tank.
• The pressure-controlled check valve is installed on a one-way check valve, instead of in place of a one-way check
valve.
• There is an extra check valve located somewhere between the air dryer and the secondary air tank (usually at the wet
tank).
• The secondary air gauge is not plumbed to the secondary air system.
6. If system secondary air pressure drops 25 psi (172 kPa) or more during the purge cycle, and there are no other air-operated
components in use, then there are air leaks or other system problems. Refer to Troubleshooting, 300 for other possible
causes.

Pressure-Control Check Valve Operating Check


1. Start the engine and build the air pressure to cutout pressure (about 125 psi [862 kPa]).
2. Stop the engine after the air compressor has unloaded.
3. Drain the supply system air tank down to about 80 psi (552 kPa) or lower.
4. Check the secondary air gauge. It should read 95 ±5 psi (655 ±34 kPa).

If the gauge reading is less that 90 psi (621 kPa), either the pressure-control check valve is installed backwards, it is
damaged, or there are air leaks in the secondary air system.
If the secondary gauge reading does not change, or the reading does not fall below 100 psi (689 kPa):
• There is no pressure-controlled check valve installed, or it is installed in the wrong tank.

22/5/24, 17:18 Air Dryer, Meritor WABCO System Saver 1200

• The pressure-controlled check valve is installed into a one-way check valve, rather than in place of a one-way check
valve.
• There is another check valve located between the air dryer and the secondary air tank.
• The secondary air gauge is not plumbed to the secondary air system.
