Compressed air water separators series WS
Installation
Prerequisites
Installation details depend on the local situ-
ation. Therefore, heed the following general
hints:
❚ Check the water separator for damage.
Do not install or commission damaged
water separators.
❚ Depressurise the pipe before installation.
❚ Operate the water separator in a vertical
position only.
❚ Heed the fl ow direction:
An arrow on the upper part of the body
indicates the fl ow direction (Figure 1).
❚ Heed the dead weight of the water
separator and install a support device if
necessary. Design the support device so
it can bear a water separator completely
fi lled with liquid.
❚ Make sure there is a direct connection
to a safety device preventing maximum
permissible limits (pressure and tempera-
ture) are exceeded.
❚ Always install the water separator at
the point of the pipe system where the
temperature is lowest.
❚ Provide suffi cient space below the water
separator for troubleshooting (Table on
page 2, value E).

Operating Instructions | EN
Installing the water separator
The water separator (except option OA)
comes ready for operation but without the
electronic condensate drain. When options
were ordered, you must fi rst mount these to
the water separator in line with the respec-
tive documentation.
– Depressurise the pipe section.
– Attach the support device if required
(Figure 2).
– Align the water separator: The arrow on
the upper part of the body indicates the
fl ow direction (Figure 1).
– Integrate the water separator into the
pipe. Make sure there are no leaks and
the separator is exactly vertical.
– Establish the electrical connection of
the condensate drain according to the
enclosed Operating Instructions.
– Pressurise the pipe section again and
check the water separator for tightness
and correct function.
Operation
Avoid abrupt pressure rises or drops during
operation of the water separator. The water
separator can be damaged if the pressure
rises or drops too fast.
