8. PRODUCT FUNCTION
8.1. Compressor with adsorption
dryer
The compressor air pumps (1) draw air
through the inlet filters (8) and compress it
through non-return valves (3) into a common
manifold, from which it is routed tothe external
adsorption dryer (9) through a connecting
hose. From the inlet to the dryer module, the
air is first cooled in the integrated cooler (14)
and then moves through the condensate
separator (40), entering the active chamber
with adsorbent (16), where the air is dried. A
portion of the air is fed into the second,
regeneration chamber, where this air is used
to remove moisture from the adsorbent, after
which it is released through the silencer (38).
The active chamber switches on a cyclical
basis. The dry and filtered air then passes
through a non-return valve (31) and into the
air tank (2), where it is ready for further use.
Check the dryer and the air tank non-return
valve (31) to ensure they are operating
properly if the pressure relief valve (37)
continues to open.
Adjusting the opening pressure
of the pressure relief valve or
other modification of this valve
is prohibited!

INSTALLATION
Risk of incorrect installation.
Only a qualified technician may
install the compressor and
place it into operation for the
first time. Their duty is to train
operating personnel on the use
and maintenance of the
equipment. An entry is made in
the equipment installation
record to certify installation and
operator training. (see the
Annex chapter)
9. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
The compressor may only be installed and
operating in dry, well-ventilated and clean
environments under the conditions
specified in the Technical Data chapter.
Risk of damage to the device.
The equipment may not be
operated outdoors or in
otherwise wet or damp
environments.
Risk of explosion.
Do not use the equipment in the
presence of explosive gases,
dust or combustible liquids.
The compressor must be installed so that it
is accessible at all times for operating and
maintenance. Please ensure that the
nameplate on the device is readily
accessible.
The compressor must stand on a flat,
sufficiently stable base (be aware of the
weight of the compressor, see the
Technical Data chapter)
The compressor on the operator’s side
must be at least 70 cm from the wall to
allow air flow for cooling purposes and to
ensure the safety of the operator and
maintenance personnel.
Approximately 70% of the electrical energy
used by the compressor aggregates is
converted to heat and therefore the rooms
in which a compressor assembly is
installed must have additional ventilation to
provide sufficient air exchange for cooling
purposes (see the technical data).
Environmental requirement:
Temperature
+5 to +40°C
Relative humidity
70%
Max. absolute humidity
15g/m3
Burn or fire hazard! Caution.
Hot surface.
Portions of the compressor,
dryer and connecting hoses
between the dryer and
compressor may be hot and
reach hazardous temperatures
during compressor operation
that may harm materials or
operating staff.
High temperature hazard.
The placement of air flow
impediments upstream or
downstream of the cooler is
prohibited. The temperature of
internal and external parts of
the cooler may be hot and reach
hazardous temperatures.
You may notice a “new
product” odour when you first
place the product into service
(for a short period of time). This
odour is temporary and does
not impede the normal use of
the product. Ensure the space
is properly ventilated after
installation.
