8. INSTALLATION

1. Location
The product must be installed in an engine room according to NR13 of MTb, in a roofed area that is well ventilated, free from dust, toxic
gases, humidity or pollution of any kind. In order to reduce the excess of noise, a soundproofing project must be taken into consideration.
Failure to install dryer in the proper ambient conditions will affect the dryer's ability to condense refrigerant gas. This can cause higher lo-
ads on the compressor, loss of dryer efficiency and performance, overheated condenser fan motors, electrical component failure and dryer
failure due to the following: compressor loss, fan motor failure and electrical component failure. Failures of this type will affect warranty
considerations.
If the room temperature is over that, it is necessary to use the flow correction table. This applies factors which help to find out the corrected
discharge the dryer is able to process. The use of exhaust fans is also recommended, cooling ducts, or other means to provide a decrease
in temperature.
If the room temperature is near or less than 5°C, the SRS - Air Dryer is not recommended, as heating is required for the machine room and
the entire compressed air pipeline for temperatures around or over 10°C. The presence of contamination agents (dust, fibers, etc.) suspended
in the air can cause premature obstruction of the condenser (See the chapter on Preventive Maintenance).
2. Placement
Notice the recommended distance in Illustration 8.1, away from any obstacle to avoid harming the operation and at the same time facilitating
preventive maintenance of the ADS - Air Dryer.
Dryers models ADS 10 – 150 can be wall-mounted. See fixing dimensions on dimensional drawings in the attachment section.
The hanging mounting inevitably causes the obstruction of the ventilation grid positioned on the panel facing the wall fixing. This obstruction,
in any case, does not prejudge the efficiency of the ventilation inside the dryer which is guaranteed by other grids on the other panels.
ADS – Air Dryers are supplied with feminine flanges, gauges as shown on Table Technical Specifications.
Do not use a reduction fitting on the outlet of the ADS - Air Dryer, or install undersized line filter(s) so that there is no loss of pressure near
the air production source. Whenever possible install "Y" connectors instead of "T" connectors and long-radius bend connectors.

3. Foundation
The product must be installed on a concrete base capable of supporting its weight and the forces resulting from its operation.
Install the ADS - Air Dryer by removing the base used for shipping.
4. Compressed air quality
The installation of a coalescent filter of 1μ (micron) is indispensable in the ADS - Air Dryer inlet for the purpose of avoi-
ding the entrance of oil and solid particles which may obstruct or harm the thermal exchange in the heat exchanger.
If the air processed by the dryer is supplied by an Alternating Piston Compressor a total pipeline course of at least 8 meters is recommended
between the reservoir and the dryer (or a coalescent pre-filter). This length of pipeline helps a great deal in cooling the compressed air before
going into the dryer.
It depends on the quality of the compressed air to evaluate the need of installing one or more filters. The purpose is to avoid the accumulation
of particles in the line. It is recommended to install coalescent filters to comply with the ISO 8573 Standard (Illustration 8.1).
