1.3 Warranty Guidelines
All products are supplied with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of purchase,
when purchased with an ES (Energy Saving) system and installed and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturers guidelines. Only genuine service parts should be used
and no modications made. For further information please contact nano purication solutions.
1.4 Packaging
All products are securely packaged in a specically designed wooden packing box. The dryer
will be held in a horizontal position by wooden struts; using straps to secure the product to
the box base. The box top cover can be removed by removing the 4 xing screws and lifting
off in one piece.
The support packing box permits longitudinal stacking; however the central section
of the packing box should not be considered load bearing.
Damage to Packaging
• Check immediately to establish whether damage has occurred to the external packaging
and if the damage extends to the product inside.
• If there is damage to a product, contact the relevant supplier immediately.
In no circumstances must a damaged product be used in operation. Using damaged
products can lead to irreparable functional faults or cause serious physical harm.

2. General safety
For your own safety, when carrying out work on this product, all relevant
national safety regulations must be complied with relating to pressurized
and electrical systems.
2.1. Intended use of the Product
The dryer is exclusively intended for the treatment of compressed air, which is free from
bulk water, oil and solid matter constituents.
The product should be located within a building and protected. The dryer must be operated
only in accordance with the data on the rating plate. Any operations that do not comply with
those stated on the product rating plate will render the warranty void.
This product is only designed to operate at pressures of between 58 - 145
psig (4 - 10 barg).
It is not suitable for pressures in excess of 145 psig (10 barg).
No modications must be made to the product. Any modications may reduce the
operational safety of the product and invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This could
potentially result in damage to the product and serious personal injury.
2.2. Personnel
Only authorized, competent and trained personnel are permitted to work on this product.
This user guide is intended solely for such personnel and is to be used only as a reference;
it should not be used to replace conventional training.
2.3. Safe Handling
Please ensure the relevant safe engineering practices and handling procedures are
employed when handling, installing and operating this product. Ensure that the equipment
is depressurized and electically isolated prior to carrying out any of the scheduled
maintenance instructions specied within this user guide.
A suitable lifting aid must be used to minimize the risk of physical injury or
damage to the product.
In no circumstances must a damaged product be used in operation. Using
damaged products can lead to irreparable functional faults or cause serious
physical harm.

3. Technical Description
The n-psi dryer uses the pressure swing adsorption principle of drying compressed air,
utilizing two identical columns each containing a hygroscopic desiccant bed.
• Inlet ltration removes water, oil aerosols and particles (Inlet ltration supplied
separately).
• Wet air enters the dryer through the inlet valve and is directed into one of the columns.
• Each column contains a densely lled desiccant bed.
• Air then passes through the desiccant bed where any remaining moisture is adsorbed.
• Simultaneously, a small amount of dry ltered air is counter owed down through
the other desiccant bed and exhausted to atmosphere, removing the moisture and
regenerating the desiccant bed.
• The dryer controller periodically switches columns after top end repressurization;
ensuring a continuous supply of dry air at constant pressure. The dryer can also be
controlled using a Zero Volt signal from the compressor. This energy saving mode
senses when the compressor is switched off and stops the dryer operation until the
compressor restarts.
• The dry air passes out through the nal particulate lter (<1micron/ISO8573.1 Class 2).

• Flow rate based on air inlet pressure of 100 psig (7.0 barg) and temperature of 95°F
(35°C).
• For dryer performance at other inlet conditions or -100°F (-70°C) dewpoint
requirements, contact [email protected].
• All dryers should be proceeded by a coalescing lter regardless of oil or oil free
applications, a nano M01 grade coalescing lter must be installed on the inlet to the
dryer.
