troubleShootInG GuIde
A) Water downstream of dryer
B) High pressure drop across
dryer
C) Fault Alarm
D) Refrigeration system not
functioning properly
1. When dryer on/off switch in on or
"I" position
2. Refrigerant compressor cycles on
and off
1. Residual free moisture remaining in
downstream pipelines
2. Air by-pass system is open
3. Inlet and Outlet connections are
reversed
4. Temperatures surrounding air
lines downstream of dryer have
dropped below dryers dew point
rating.
5. Excessive free moisture (bulk liquid)
at dryer inlet
6. Condensate not being automati-
cally drained
Drain mechanism is clogged or
inoperative.
Drain line is restricted or frozen.
7. Dryer overloaded resulting in el-
evated dew point.
8. Refrigeration system not function-
ing properly resulting in elevated
dew point.
1. Inlet air strainer clogged
2. Excessive air flow
3. Separator filter clogged.
4. Freezing of moisture in evaporator
because of refrigeration system
improperly functioning.
1. Dryer overloaded resulting in high
air outlet temperature.
2. Refrigeration system not function-
ing properly resulting in high air
outlet temperature.
3. Unit functioning normally but ther-
mostatic switch is malfunctioning
or not securely mounted.
a. Power failure
b. Line disconnect switch open
c. Blown fuses, open breaker
d. Faulty wiring, loose terminals
a. High or low ambient conditions
b. Ambient air filter clogged
c. Condenser fins clogged
d. Fan motor or fan control switch
malfunction
e. Refrigerant leak
f. Low voltage
Blow out system with dry air
Check valve positions
Check for correct connection
Insulate or heat trace air lines exposed
to low ambients or dry air to lower
dew point
Install separator ahead of dryer
Replace drain mechanism if inopera-
tive
Open drain line
Check inlet air temperature and pres-
sure, flow rate (compressor capacity)
and ambient air temperature
See D below
Clean inlet air strainer
Check flow rate
Replace filter sleeve
See D below
See A 7
