3. Refer to Table 1 for desiccant quantity per tower. ** TS = Tabular Support
When using Table 1 you will find the desiccant quan-
tities listed in layers. Each layer will vary in depth
due to the type, quantity and purpose of the desic-
cant. Layer 1 must be installed first at the bottom of
the vessel followed by layer number 2 etc., until the
complete charge of desiccant has been installed.
4. Utilizing an appropriate sized funnel, fill each desic-
cant tower as follows:
a. Install the required quantity of tabular support or
activated alumina in layer 1 of each tower.
b. Level layer 1 and each subsequent layer of desic-
cant as added to each chamber.
c. Finish filling each tower with desiccant until all
desiccant has been installed. LIGHT tapping
on the tower sides with a soft-face mallet should
yield additional free space to allow installation of
all desiccant required. DO NOT TAMP OR RAM

5.2 Chamber Pressure Gauges

A gauge mounted on the gauge panel indicates which
chamber is on-stream and which is regenerating. The
gauge for the on-stream tower indicates operating pres-
sure; the gauge for the regenerating tower indicates
0 psig.
5.3 Purge Flow Pressure Gauge

A gauge mounted on the gauge panel of the dryer indi-
cates purge air pressure.
5.4 Moisture Indicator

An indicator which changes color to alert personnel of
a moisture problem requiring corrective action. The
indicator is green when dry. Green indicates a rela-
tive humidity below 3% and yellow indicates a relative
humidity above 3%. This indicator is intended only as
an inexpensive means of determining possible dryer
malfunction.

2. Procedure for element replacement
a. Isolate dryer from air supply
b. Depressurize dryer by running dryer and allowing
system pressure to purge to atmosphere. Loss
of pilot pressure will eventually prevent purge/
repressurization valves from opening. Remaining
pressure can be vented to atmosphere through
the manual drain on the pilot air filter. The system
must be fully depressurized before removing the
bowl.
c. Remove the filter bowl by pushing up, turn-

Element Replacement
1. Frequency of replacement
The Dew Point Analyzer filter contains a filter element
that should be changed yearly. Replacement may
be required sooner if pressure drop across cartridge
prevents the Dew Point Analyzer from operating
properly.
Warning – The Dew Point Analyzer filter housing
is a pressure-containing device, depressurize before
servicing. Slowly open manual drain valve on bottom
of filter bowl by turning clockwise to verify that the
housing is depressurized before removing bowl.
2. Procedure for element replacement
a. Isolate dryer from air supply
b. Depressurize dryer by running dryer and allowing
system pressure to purge to atmosphere. Loss
of pilot pressure will eventually prevent purge/
repressurization valves from opening. Remaining
pressure can be vented to atmosphere through
the manual drain on the pilot air filter. The system
must be fully depressurized before removing the
bowl.
c. Remove the filter bowl by pushing up, turn-
ing counterclockwise and then pulling straight
down.
d. Clean the filter bowl.
e. Replace the element.
f. Clean and lubricate o-ring at top of bowl and
reassemble in reverse order.

WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the product manufactured by it, when properly installed, operated, applied, and maintained in accordance
with the procedures and recommendations outlined in the manufacturer’s instruction manuals, to be free from defects in material or
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment from the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s authorized distributor,
or eighteen months from the date of shipment from the factory, whichever occurs first, provided such defect is discovered and brought to
the manufacturer’s attention the aforesaid warranty period. The manufacturer will repair or replace any product or part determined to be
defective by the manufacturer within the warranty period, provided such defect occurred in normal service and not as the result of misuse,
abuse, neglect, or accident.
The warranty covers parts and labor for the warranty period. Repair or replacement shall be made at the factory or the installation site,
at the sole option of the manufacturer. The manufacturer must first authorize any service performed on the product by anyone other than
