Evolutionary Charging System and
Integrated Design
Bendix elevates air treatment to a new level with the Bendix
AD-IS® air dryer module, an integrated solution air dryer for
removing liquid, vapor and solid contaminants from the air
system. With a new concept in system charging and a modular
design that combines a variety of air system components, the

Enhanced Performance
The AD-IS® air dryer module raises the bar over current
industry standard air drying systems with its innovative system
design. With four pressure protection valves located directly
on the air dryer module, accessories can be plumbed straight
from the air dryer as opposed to connecting through either of
two air system reservoirs. This design feature reduces
complexity and minimizes possible leak points.
The AD-IS
contained reservoir instead of accessing either of two available
air system reservoirs. As a result, the air system reservoirs
maintain consistent pressure during the purge cycle and are
fully dedicated to air system operations.

Simplified Maintenance, Reduced
System Weight
The modular design of AD-IS® air dryer module combines the
vehicle supply reservoir, governor and a number of charging
system components, eliminating many maintenance trouble
spots. Fewer components means lower system weight, fewer
maintenance requirements and less opportunity for leaks. It
also means service centers can inventory fewer parts.
The integrated design also extends the life span of some
components. For example, because the governor is mounted
directly to the air dryer – away from the heat and vibration of
the compressor – it experiences less wear and tear. The
majority of the sub-components of the air dryer module can be
maintained individually and are easily accessed from one
central location.

Spin-On Cartridge
Due to its spin-on design, the desiccant cartridge can be
changed in less than 10 minutes, saving fleets maintenance
and downtime. With the air dryer’s integral purge volume, this
spin-on cartridge meets today’s highest performance
standards, making the AD-IS
solution for a wide range of applications.
