Safety instructions related to the product and technology
W
Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over
them.
W
Do not operate the product in aggressive ambient air (i.e. solvent gases).
W
A filter and a 0.01 μm microfilter must be situated directly upstream of the
diaphragm-type dryer in order to reliably retain particles, oil and liquid
condensate. An additional 0.3 μm pre-filter is recommended for higher
contamination levels or heavy condensate accumulation.
W
The installation site must be free of frost. The temperature of the site and the
compressed air must be between +2 °C and +50 °C for the AS series and +2 °C
and +60 °C for the NL series.
W
Do not expose the diaphragm-type dryer to direct sunlight.
W
Do not suddenly open the shut-off elements to the front or rear of the diaphragm-
type dryer unit.

About This Product

The diaphragm-type dryer (5) is used to dry compressed air directly upstream of the
compressed air consumer.
First, the humid compressed air must be filtered, thereby freeing it of particles,
condensate and oil aerosols. Next, the filtered compressed air is dried in the
diaphragm-type dryer (5) according to the countercurrent principle.
Humid purge air escapes at the bottom (6) of the diaphragm-type dryer.
The dried compressed air is returned to the input level. Additional components, such
as pressure regulators, active carbon filters, etc., can be connected at this point in
the process. The gas ratio of the compressed air is not changed during this
procedure.
Condensate drainage is not required at the diaphragm-type dryer.
Product identification
Observe the product information on the product and packaging.
