Back Pressure Regulator:Installbackpressureregulatortopreventanypossibilityoffluidizationofthe

desiccant bed. When there is a sudden increase in the demand for compressed air downstream of the

dryer, a huge pressure drop develops and can affect the performance of the dryer and the drying material

(desiccant).

Desiccant:Makesurethatthedryertowersarefilledwithdesiccant.Largerdryersmayhavedesiccant

shipped separately – in which case, the media has to be filled into the pressure vessels from the desiccant

fillports.Caremustbetakenwhenfillingthemediaanditmustbedonegraduallytopreventpowdering.

valve be installed around the dryer and filters. These by-pass shut-off valves will permit the dryer and

filters to be removed from the compressed air system for servicing without shutting down the entire

compressed air system.
