Oil on the drying agent 

If too many oil particles enter the adsorber, the oil particles close the pores of the desiccant and thus 
prevent adsorption. 

 

Ambient temperature too high 

If the ambient temperature exceeds 80°C, the binding forces in the desiccant decrease. This means that 
the incoming ambient air is only dried to a limited extent. 

 

2.  Positive or negative pressure builds up in the system 

Valves are jammed / blocked 

If the functionality of the valves is impaired by impurities, the pressure in the system increases. 

 

Air flow rate too high 

Too high an air flow rate can cause over- or underpressure in the system. 

 

Contaminated filter element 

The filter unit can be clogged by dirt particles and can therefore build up pressure in the system. 

 

Oil on the drying agent 

If oil particles get into the adsorber, the spaces in the fill can be filled with oil and the fill will stick 
together. This can cause pressure to build up in the system. 

 

3.  Adsorber is damaged 

Material resistance 

When selecting the adsorber, the ambient and operating conditions should be considered. An aggressive 
environment or liquid in the container can damage the adsorber. 

 

Temperature range 

The ambient and operating temperatures should not exceed or fall below the specified range, otherwise 
the adsorber may be damaged. 

 

Improper handling 

Incorrect or improper handling can damage the adsorber. The recommended installation must be 
observed. 

 

Strong vibrations 

Strong vibrations of the plant can damage the adsorber.
