As long as the desiccant is replaced at saturation point and your compressed air is not exposed to a temperature below the dew point, your equipment will receive dry, moisture-free air. As the desiccant becomes saturated with moisture, the dew point begins to rise. This is evident when the desiccant changes color from blue to pink, indicating the need for desiccant replacement. Refer to Desiccant Changeout, page 9. 288810 Blue silica gel desiccant beads turn pink when saturated. Element prevents any desiccant dust from traveling downstream Built-in sight glass allows easy monitoring of desiccant color change When air is compressed, the temperature of the air increases, as does its capacity to hold moisture. As the hot, moist air travels down through the lines, it cools, allowing the moisture to condense. Filters, drain traps, and driplegs only remove liquid condensation. The Dryaire Desiccant Air Drying System removes liquid condensation, residual water vapor and aerosols. As the wet compressed air flows through the inlet port and down the bed of desiccant, the desiccant beads absorb the water vapor and aerosols and can reduce the air humidity down to a -40°F (-40°C) pressure dew point. 2 309921L Installation Installation 1. Before installing air line components, blow out the pipe line to remove debris. Be sure air to the regulator is clean. Erratic operation or loss of regulation is usually caused by dirt in the regulator. 2. Install the Air Drying System as close as possible to the equipment it serves. Use template 289185, provided, to position system. 3. Install air shut-off valve 288798 upstream from the air system to isolate it for service. 4. Install system so air flows through filters in the direction noted on top of filter. 5. A minimum 1/2 in. npt piping is recommended. Avoid using too many fittings, couplings, etc., which will restrict air flow. Shop Air Piping Layout Main Air Line 3/4 in. (19 mm) minimum 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) optimum 1/2 in.

Over pressurizing can cause component rupture and serious injury. Model 234401 Auto Drain 1. Attach air hose(s) to air regulator outlet valve 289165. Both Air Filter 234402 and Coalescer 234403 have an auto drain. When the bowl is pressurized, the piston travels down against the spring and closes the drain opening. When the bowl is depressurized (i.e., overnight when system is shut down), the spring lifts the piston from the seal, allowing the bowl to drain. 2. Attach air hose to main shut-off valve 288798. 3. Open main shut-off valve 288798. 4. Turn the T-hand adjusting screw in or out to adjust regulator to desired setting. NOTE: You can also push the piston stem on the bottom of the filter to manually drain the bowl. 5. Open outlet valve 289165 to supply air to spray guns or tool. 6. With air flowing, readjust air pressure regulator if necessary. 7. Turn off unit when not in use. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. Model 24M178 1. Attach air hose(s) to outlet elbow fitting 120375. 2. Attach air hose to inlet elbow fitting C19024. Coalescer Pressure Drop Indicator The differential pressure drop indicator provides early detection of a clogged coalescing filter element. As the filter element becomes clogged, the red indicator starts to rise while air is flowing through the unit. When the pressure drop across the element reaches 10-12 psi (69-83 kPa, 0.7-0.8 bar), the red indicator will be in full view, and the element should be replaced. Failure to replace the element when the pressure drop exceeds 10 psi (69 kPa, 0.7 bar) will affect your air quality and tool efficiency. 3. Open main shut-off valve 288798. 4. Turn off unit when not in use.

The following is a basic pressure relief procedure. Be sure to follow the specific pressure relief procedure in your spray gun and/or fluid supply equipment manuals. 1. Close the main air shut-off valve. 2. Trigger the gun or dispense valve and open any drain valves to relieve pressure. Coalescer 234403 NOTE: It is recommended that Air Filter 234402 be installed upstream of the coalescing filter to remove 5 micron and larger size particles and separate large droplets of moisture from the air line. CAUTION Never let the liquid level in the bowl reach the base of the coalescing element. See Manual 309919 for operation, cleaning, and parts information. Complete Repair Kit 24B589 Maintenance and Repair • Relieve the pressure before cleaning, checking or repairing. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, above. • Check system at least once per shift to ensure proper drainage. • A supply of low flow/low humidity air will provide longer desiccant life. Includes 5 lb of chemical desiccant, filter element for air filter; filter element and o-ring for coalescer; and filter element, gasket and o-rings for desiccant housing. Air Filter 234402 To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and avoid excessive pressure drop, the filter must be kept clean. See Manual 309919 for cleaning and parts information. 8 309921L Maintenance and Repair Desiccant Housing 234404 NOTE: Always install a moisture filter, to remove bulk fluids, and a coalescing filter, to remove oil, upstream of the desiccant housing. Desiccant coated with oil will not absorb moisture. 5. Refill bowl with new or regenerated desiccant. See Desiccant Changeout. Desiccant Housing 234404 holds 5 lb. of desiccant. 6. Reassemble bowl to cover, making sure that o-ring 289186 is in place in cover. Desiccant Changeout 289189 NOTE: Desiccant beads are non-toxic and non-flammable. 288794 The desiccant gradually changes color from blue to pink, indicating it has absorbed moisture to the saturation point and needs to be regenerated or replaced. • To regenerate Silica Gel desiccant, heat desiccant for 4 hours at 275°F (135°C). • To replace desiccant, order desired part no. from the following chart. Desiccant Part No. Color Color when when fresh saturated 288810 Silica Gel (5 lb) Blue Pink 288823 Silica Gel (four 5 lb cans) Blue Pink Desiccant Housing Disassembly 289186 288793 288795 289187 (2) 289188 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Unscrew the metal collar holding the desiccant bowl to cover. Remove bowl and collar. 3. Dump old desiccant out of bowl. 4. If the pressure drop across the dryer has become unacceptable, the bronze element in the bottom of the bowl may be clogged. To remove clog: a. Place a blow gun at the top of the tube and blow air through the flow tube. b. If element replacement is needed: disassemble flow tube from the bowl by removing the end cap and nut from the bottom of the bowl. c. Part No. Description 288793 Flow Tube Assy., includes flow tube, nut, o-ring, filter elements and retainers 289186 O-Ring 288794 Gasket 289189 O-Ring 289187 Filter Element 289188 O-Ring 288795 Sight Glass 288810 Desiccant, silica gel (5 lb) 288823 Desiccant, silica gel (four 5 lb cans) Turn the flow tube (hand tight) counter clockwise to remove it, then replace elements. d. Reassemble in reverse order. 309921L 9 Maintenance and Repair Self-Relieving Air Regulator 288787 Be sure air to the regulator is clean. Erratic operation or loss of regulation is usually caused by dirt in the regulator. 289190 Cleaning 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Remove bottom plug, spring, and valve. 3. Remove six screws, and separate regulator body. 4. Clean all parts with denatured alcohol. Wipe off seat and blow out body. Screws (6) 288796 5. Inspect parts for damage and replace as needed. To replace the valve and diaphragm, order Repair Kit 288796. 6. Reassemble parts and screw them into the regulator before tightening the bottom plug. Make sure the valve, diaphragm and spring are center aligned.
