INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
NOTE:
Wilkerson DE series compact heatless dryers have been
thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and are in
proper working condition.
A. Initial Inspection – Remove the air dryer from the shipping carton. Inspect the exterior and
remove the electrical cover and inspect the interior components for any shipping damage.
NOTE:
Any damage noticed at this time must be brought to the
immediate attention of the carrier and a freight claim must
be filed.
B. Warranty – Please read this instruction manual carefully before installing the air dryer.
Failure to follow proper instructions could result in damage to the equipment and may void
the product warranty.
EXCEPT as otherwise specified by the manufacturer, this product
is specifically designed for compressed air service and use with
any other gas or liquid is a misapplication. Use with or injection
of certain hazardous liquids or gases in the system (i.e., alcohol
or liquid petroleum gas) could be harmful to the unit and result in
a combustible condition or cause hazardous external leakage.
Manufacturers' warranties are void in the event of a misapplication
and manufacturer assumes NO RESPONSIBILITY for any
resulting loss. Before using equipment with fluids or gases other
than air, or for non-industrial applications, consult Wilkerson
Corporation for written approval.
C. Installation/Mounting – Four mounting holes are provided for wall mounting of Models DE3,
DE4 and DE5. All dryers require a clean ambient environment for proper operation. Normally,
most locations where ambient temperatures range between 40˚F and 125˚F are suitable for
installation since drying efficiency is more dependent on the temperature of the compressed air
flowing through the unit. Operating a unit at temperatures which could result in freezing may
cause damage to the dryer. Do not operate at temperatures so low that freezing is a possibility.
1. Install dryer where ambient temperatures are between 40°F (4.4°C) and 125°F (52°C).
2. Mount dryer in a vertical position.
3. Piping connections: For maximum flow, INLET and OUTLET piping should be schedule 40
pipe or equivalent I.D. tubing. DE3, DE4 and DE5 inlet and outlet ports are 1/2" female,
NPT, purge porting is 1/2" female, NPT.
