In this case, please proceed as follows:
PNEUMATIG
Switch off the refrigeration plant.
Switch off the mechanical ventilation of the machinery compartment.
Use ambient-air-independent respirators.
Containers and plants which are filled with refrigerant can burst violently in the event of fire.
The refrigerants themselves are incombustible, but they are degraded to very toxic products at high temperatures.
Remove the container/plant from the fire zone, as there is the risk of bursting!
Cool down containers and bottles via a directed water jet from a safe position.
In the event of fire, please use an approved fire extinguisher. Water is not a suitable agent to extinguish
an electrical fire.
This must only be carried out by persons who are trained and informed about the hazards emanating
from the product.
Caution!
Unauthorised intervention!
Unauthorised interventions may endanger persons and plants and lead to malfunction.
Unauthorised interventions, modification and abuse of the pressure devices are prohibited.
The removal of sealings and leadings at safety devices is prohibited.
Operators of the devices must observe the local and national pressure equipment regulations in the
country of installation.
In the event that the dryer is not installed under suitable ambient conditions, the ability of the device to
condense refrigerant gas is impaired. This can result in a higher load of the refrigerating compressor, and
in a loss of efficiency and performance of the dryer.
This in turn leads to overheated condenser fan motors, to malfunction of electric components and to a
breakdown of the dryer.
Do not install the dryer in an environment in which chemicals with a corrosive effect, explosive gases,
toxic gases, evaporation heat, high ambient temperatures or extreme dust and dirt can be found.

9.1Place of installation
Note!
Ambient conditions!
In the event that the dryer is not installed under suitable ambient conditions, the ability of the device to condense refrigerant gas is impaired. This can result in a higher load of the refrigerating compressor, and in a
loss of efficiency and performance of the dryer.
This in turn leads to overheated condenser fan motors, to malfunction of electric components and to a
breakdown of the dryer.
Do not install the dryer in an environment in which chemicals with a corrosive effect, explosive gases, toxic
gases, evaporation heat, high ambient temperatures or extreme dust and dirt can be found.
Minimum installation requirements
Choose an area which is clean and dry, free from dust and protected against atmospheric disturbances.
The load-bearing zone must be even, horizontal and able to bear the weight of the dryer.
Minimum ambient temperature +1°C.
Maximum ambient temperature 50°C.
Leave a free area of at least one metre in all directions of the dryer. This space is necessary to facilitate maintenance
works.

Installation type A is recommended when the compressor functions with reduced step switching and when the total
consumption corresponds to the throughput rate of the compressor.
Installation type B is recommended when the air consumption constantly varies, with peak values which considerably
exceed the throughput rate of the compressor. The storage capacity of the tank must be dimensioned in such a way
that a possible short-term high air demand (peak air consumption) can be compensated.
Note!
Contaminated intake air!
In the event that the intake air is strongly contaminated (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-3 or poorer quality), we
recommend the additional installation of a prefilter (e.g. CLEARPOINT F040), to avoid clogging of the
heat exchanger.

Every data element has a corresponding numerical factor, which, multiplied with the nominal capacity, is as follows:
All works must only be carried out by qualified skilled personnel.
Never work on compressed-air systems which are under pressure.
The operator or the user must ensure that the dryer is never operated with a pressure exceeding the
maximum pressure value indicated on the type plate.
Exceeding the maximum operating pressure can be dangerous for the operator but also for the device.
The air temperature and the air flow at the inlet of the dryer must lie within the limit values indicated on the type plate.
The connecting lines must be free from dust, iron rust, shards and other contaminations and correspond to the flow
rate of the dryer. Should air with a very high temperature be treated, the installation of an aftercooler may be necessary. For the implementation of maintenance works, the installation of a bypass system is recommended, as is shown
in the following illustration.
