System Saver Series Installation Criteria

Operating Parameters

Requirements

Pressure requirements

Maximum pressure

140 psi

Minimum governor cut-out 
pressure

115 psi

Governor range

15 to 25 psi (cut-out — cut-in)

Flow capacity

Compressor rating

25 cfm maximum

Compressor on-time

Normal running

2 minutes maximum

Occasional (three times per 
day maximum)

7 minutes

Compressor unloaded 
time

Minimum for purge cycle

20 seconds

Maximum duty cycle

Compressor on-time ÷ total 
running time

30%

Discharge line

Temperature at inlet port 
determines required length 
and diameter.

To minimize the likelihood of a discharge line blockage during 
cold climate operation, it is recommended that for discharge lines 
exceeding 9 feet in length, a minimum of 3 feet of 1/2-inch thick 
closed-cell polyethylene pipe insulation be used at the connection 
to the air dryer.
