C) Positioning your System
A typical Desiccant Air Dryer installation is illustrated below, where the dryer is sized to match the output of the
compressor and installed downstream of a 'wet' air receiver. Care must be taken to ensure that the dryer cannot
be subjected to flows (even peak flows) in excess of its full rated flow capacity.
As the Desiccant Air Dryer is sized to the compressor output, the potential therefore exists for overflowing i.e. the
system can draw volumes of air in excess of the compressor output by also utilising the stored volume in the air
receiver.
DESICCANT AIR DRYER INSTALLED AFTER A WET AIR RECEIVER
In the ideal situation domnick hunter would always recommend a receiver to be fitted both before and after the
Desiccant Air Dryer.
The dryer should be securely mounted on a suitably structured, flat and level floor or base which is free from
vibration. It should be secured to the ground using bolts located through the slots in the mounting feet.
Ensure that there is sufficient space around the dryer(s) and 500mm (minimum distance) between dryer bank
centres.
