4.1 LOCATION
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL THIS DRYER SYSTEM IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF CORROSIVE CHEMICALS, EXPLOSIVE GASSES, POISONOUS GASSES, OR SATURATED STEAM HEAT.
Locate dryer system in a protected, well vented area where ambient temperatures are between 40oF and 120oF. Allow sufcient clearance
over and around the dryer system for access to desiccant ll and drain
ports and controls. Refer to SECTION 3.2 for dryer dimensions.
If this dryer system must be installed where ambient temperatures are below 40oF, insulation and heat tracing must be properly installed on
the inlet piping, separator, prelter, purge exhaust line and the
desiccant towers to prevent freezing of the equipment.
Position the dryer system in the upright position on a solid, level, vibration free surface capable of supporting the dryer system’s weight.
Refer to SECTION 3.1 for dryer system specications.
The dryer system should not be located in extremely dirty areas where airborne contaminants can accumulate on the dryer system. If this cannot be prevented, the dryer system should be cleaned periodically. An accumulation of dirt on the precooler will greatly reduce its
efciency. Accumulated dirt may also cause the inlet transfer valve to
fail.
4.2 DESICCANT INSTALLATION
The desiccant was factory installed in both towers before the dryer shipped.
4.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER SYSTEM WILL OCCUR IF THE DRYER SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE OTHER THAN THE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE DATA TAG.

5.5 CONDITIONING THE DESICCANT BED
To condition the desiccant bed, the dryer system is operated without any
outlet ow while the towers regenerate with purge air.
Observe the dryer system for several cycles to make sure that it is operating properly.
At initial start up or after extended shutdowns (over one month), the dryer system may take 24 to 48 hours of continuous operation for the bed to be conditioned. Moisture that has accumulated on the desiccant bed should be removed before the dryer system is placed on stream.
Once the moisture indicator on the dryer system turns blue, the desiccant bed is ready. The Prep-40 dryer is now ready for operation.
The purge ow can be adjusted for the operating conditions.
This dryer system was shipped with the purge ow set for the rated inlet ow at 100 PSIG. Reference SECTION 3.1 for rated ow. This setting
should be correct for most installations. Before placing the dryer system on stream, check the purge metering valve setting.
FIGURE 5B shows the purge ow, in SCFM, and the pressure setting required for each model. This ow is required to properly regenerate
the desiccant beds.

START UP SECTION 5
5.6 INSTALLING THE PURGE MUFFLERS
To reduce the sound level during purge and tower depressurization,
this dryer system was supplied with mufers for installation on the
purge exhaust valves.
Mufers were shipped separately. They should NOT be installed until the dryer system has been operated for several hours. From desiccant installation, some dust may be present in the desiccant
towers. Operating the dryer system with the mufers installed immediately after the towers have been lled with the desiccant or during initial start up may cause the mufers to clog.
Operate the until NO desiccant dust is visible at the purge valves.
Then the mufers can be installed.
IMPORTANT
The dryer system must be operated for several hours without
the mufers after the towers have been lled with desiccant. This will prevent the mufers from becoming clogged.
FIGURE 5A PURGE MUFFLER INSTALLATION
OPERATION SECTION 6
6.1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The Prep-40 is a portable skid mounted system consisting of a strainer,
pre-cooler, separator, prelter, heatless regenerative dryer and an afterlter. Wet warm air enters the pre-cooler where it is cooled to a
temperature approcahing ambient. Water is condensed out during this cooling process. The saturated air and the liquid water proceed to the inlet of the separator where the liquid water is removed. Then the
saturated air enters the coalescing lter where additional oil and liquid
water is removed. Then the air enters the heatless twin tower dryer where it moves upward through the desiccant bed. The moisture is adsorbed onto the surface of the desiccant. Dry air exits the heatless dryer and
passes through the general purpose particulate after-lter where residual
particulate is removed.
This package dryer will take saturated air at 100 psig @ 150°F and reduce the mositure content to -40°F pressure dew point.
6.2 HEATLESS DRYER PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Heatless Regenerative Air Dryer utilizes the pressure swing principle of operation. The desiccant bed in one tower dries the air stream while the desiccant bed in the other tower is regenerated.
A purge of dry air is used for tower regeneration. It is taken from the outlet of the dryer.
The dryer is equipped with a purge metering valve to allow the correct
amount of dry air to ow into the regenerating tower. The heat created
during adsorption of moisture in the drying tower is retained in the desiccant bed and increases the moisture removal capacity of the purge air.
The timing cycle of the dryer is controlled by two 3-way pilot valves.
A patented shuttle valve system is used to repressurize, changeover, and depressurize the towers. The inlet transfer valve is controlled by the pilot valves.
To achieve maximum performance from this dryer, it should be operated continuously. Operating this dryer for single shift periods may result in varied outlet dew point performance.
The dryer operation consists of four stages; REPRESSURIZATION, CHANGEOVER/DEPRESSURIZATION, DRYING and REGENERATION.
6.2-1 REPRESSURIZATION STAGE
Repessurization occurs in the off-stream (regenerating) tower. Repessurization must occur before tower changover to reduce shock to the desiccant and the possibility of downstream pressure spikes.
Pilot valve SV1 or SV2 de-energizes causing the purge valve on the off-stream (regenerated) tower to close. The purge air, which was vented to atomosphere earlier in the cycle, is now used to repressurize the off-stream tower.
6.2-2 CHANGEOVER/DEPRESSURIZATION STAGE
Tower changeover occurs after the off-stream (regenerated) tower is pressurized. The SmartRelay signals SV1 or SV2 to open causing pilot air to be supplied to the opposite side of the inlet transfer valve and cause exhaust valve to open on regenerative tower. The inlet transfer valve shuttle will move to the side that has pilot pressure placing the regenerated tower on-stream. The tower that was on line and drying the process air is now off-stream.
When the inlet transfer valve changes position, the position indicator will move.
6.2-3 DRYING AND REGENERATION STAGE
One tower is on-stream (pressurized) drying process air. The process air passes through the desiccant bed, which adsorbs moisture from the air.
The regeneration stage of the off-stream tower occurs at the same time as the drying stage in the on-stream tower. During the regeneration stage, a percentage of dry air is directed through the desiccant bed of the offstream tower. The purge air is vented through the purge valve to the atmosphere.
If pilot valve SV2 is energized, the LEFT tower is drying and if pilot valve SV1 is energized, the RIGHT tower is drying.
PAGE 7
OPERATION SECTION 6
6.3 MOISTURE INDICATOR
The moisture indicator is in the center of the panel. The moisture
indicator is a clear plastic tube lled with moisture sensing crystals. A
sample of outlet air is directed through the indicator.
The crystals will change colors from PINK (indicating wet air) to BLUE (indicating dry air) as the dew point of the air changes from +20OF to -40OF.
6.4 DRYER CONTROLS
The control is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure and it has the following
features:
- Power switch
- Power On light
- Fail to Switch light
- Alarm Reset pushbutton
- Hour Meter
See Figure 6B for control box door.
6.4-1 SMART RELAY:
The dryer cycle is controlled by a SmartRelay, two solenoid valves and two pressure switches. The dryer timing chart is shown in FIGURE 6C. The SmartRelay has a battery back-up that will hold the program in memory safely for 2 years.
6.4-2 SWITCHING FAILURE:
When there is a switching failure (failure of control solenoid valves SV1 & SV2; failure of exhaust valve to open; or clogging of exhaust
mufer), the Fail to Switch LED will be lit. This will energize the
Alarm Contacts shown in FIGURE 10D. The contacts can be wired for remote annunciation. To reset the Switching Failure Alarm press the Alarm Reset Pushbutton on the front of the control box. If the condition causing the alarm is not corrected, the alarm will re-activate in 90 seconds.
6.4-3 HOUR METER:
The Hour Meter is located on the front of the control box. It is used to log the total number of hours that the Prep-40 dryer system has been in operation.

MAINTENANCE SECTION 9
9.1 DAILY INSPECTION
The following procedures should be performed daily:
• Check the dryer system operating conditions, ambient temperature
and inlet pressure.
• Monitor the dryer system for one complete cycle. Make sure it is
operating properly.
Make sure that the desiccant drain plugs are installed before
attempting to ll the towers. Load desiccant through the desiccant
ll ports. REFER TO SECTION 3.1 FOR PROPER DESICCANT AMOUNTS.
Reinstall the ll plugs. Apply pipe thread sealant as necessary.
• Check the purge mufers. Purge air should be exhausting from
one of the valves. If oil is present, the dryer and air system may be contaminated with lubricants.
• Inspect separator/prelter and prelter drains for proper draining.
• Check the pressure differential indicator on prelter and afterlter.
If the differential pressure is unacceptable, replace the elements.
• Visually check the dryer system and piping for damage.
• Visually check the dryer system moisture indicator (blue dry or pink
wet)
9.2 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
12 MONTHS
• Fill lubricator with oil
• Replace purge mufer elements
• Replace the control air lter element
• Replace the separator/prelter, prelter, and afterlter elements
• Clean the exterior of the pre-cooler
24-60 MONTHS
• The desiccant in the towers should be replaced every two to ve
years. The life of the desiccant will vary depending on the inlet air conditions. Systems with excessive contaminants and/or
inadequate ltration will decrease the life span of the desiccant
drastically. Once the desiccant is contaminated with lubricants, it must be replaced.
• Periodically the pre-cooler core should be cleaned internally if the process air contains excesive amounts of lubricating uids.
9.3 DESICCANT REPLACEMENT
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE PLUGS UNTIL ALL AIR PRESSURE IS OUT OF THE VESSEL. CHECK ALL TOWER PRESSURE GAUGES, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE AT 0 PSIG AND INCOMING PRESSURE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE DESICCANT. DESICCANT DUST MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. AVOID BREATHING THE DUST AND PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE SKIN.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
Take dryer system off stream following the SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES IN SECTION 7.
Remove the plugs from the desiccant drain and ll ports; drain old
desiccant from each tower.
Remove any oil, dirt, or scale from the towers and inlet piping. Do NOT weld, grind or sandblast the vessels as this voids the ASME
Certication. The vessels may be steam cleaned internally and
externally to remove dirt and oil.
Follow START UP PROCEDURES IN SECTION 5.1 to start up and place dryer in operation.
9.4 CONTROL AIR FILTER ELEMENT REPLACEMENT
Shutdown the dryer per Shut-Down Procedures SECTION 7.
Turn manual valve (petcock) on bottom of control air lter to ensure
that the dryer is completely depressurized.
WARNING
DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER BOWL FROM HEAD UNTIL HOUSING IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZED.
After all pressure is out of the dryer, grasp the lter bowl rmly and
push upward while turning it counter-colckwise (as viewed from the
bottom) to remove it from the lter head. If prefered strap wrenches
can be used to remove bowl. Make sure that the bowl does not drop.
Remove the used element from element adaptor in lter head by

Remove new element from the shipping package. Check to make sure that the o-ring is properly positioned in endcap and has been lightly greased.
Grasp clean element by bottom endcap and push element onto
element adpater rmly, but do not force beyond normal stop.
Check o-ring in lter head. Replace if worn or damaged.
Clean and lubricate threads on bowl with light grease. This will facilitate removal of bowl at next servicing.
Carefully raise lter bowl over element and screw into head, then
tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Close manual drain valve (petcock).
Following the start up procedures in SECTION 5.1 for the dryer, place the dryer on stream.
9.5 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE PRE-COOLER
The pre-cooler core should be cleaned regularly. Accumulation of dirt
or other contaminants shch as oils will greatly reduce the efciency of
the pre-cooler.
Normal accumulation of dirt can be removed by using compressed air to blow off the core. If the core becomes contaminated with oil-laden particles, it will need to be steam cleaned. Use extreme care when
cleaning the core as the aluminum ns can be easily damaged.
Make sure that the towers are clean to prevent contamination of new desiccant.
Replace plugs securely on desiccant drain ports. Apply pipe thread sealant as necessary.
PAGE 11
CAUTION
MAINTENANCE SECTION 9
9.6 CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE PRE-COOLER
The inside of the pre-cooler core should be cleaned periodically if the
process air has an excessive amount of lubricating uids. Excess lubricating uids can build up on the inside of the core and greatly reduce the efciency of the pre-cooler.
Shut down the dryer system per SECTION 7 and completely depressurize the dryer system. Disconnect the core from the air system.
The interior of the core can be cleaned by circulating a mild cleaning solution through the core to remove the deposits. In most cases, a mild alkaline solution such as OAKITE or equal is satisfactory. For extreme conditions, it may be necessary to use a weak solution of INHIBITED hydrochloric acid. Circulate the solution through the core until it is clean. Once the core is clean, thouroughly rinse the core to remove all traces of the cleaning solution before re-connecting it to the air system.
9.7 REPLACING SEPARATOR/PREFILTER, PREFILTER, AND AFTERFILTER ELEMENTS
Shutdown and depressurize dryer system per SECTION 7.
Disconnect drain line as required.
Remove lter bowl by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from

TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION 10
10-2 CHECKING THE SMARTRELAY The control system consists of three different control systems:
1. The SmartRelay
2. Input devices (120VAC components) a. Pressure switches b. Alarm Reset push-button d. Power switch
3. Output components a. Pilot valves b. Lights c. General alarm contact
The SmartRelay controls the cycling of the dryer system. The program logic is stored on an electrically erasable non-volatile EE­PROM. Loss of power will not cause loss of the program.
If the LCD display on the SmartRelay is not lit, the SmartRealy is not operating. If this occurs, check fuse 1FU and replace as needed. If there is power to the SmartRelay and is still does not function, consult factory.
See SECTION 10.2A and 10.2B for procedures to verify the operation of the input and output devices.

NOTE:
The general alarm contact is a normally open dry contact which is wired to terminals #16 and #17.
OUTPUT DEVICES Q1 SV1 Q2 SV2 Q3 PL2
Q4 ALARM CONTACT
10.2B TESTING THE OUTPUT DEVICES
The SmartRelay’s outputs are 120VAC. See FIGURE 10B for a list of the dryer system output devices.
To check output devices SV1 and SV2, follow the procedure in
SECTION 10.3.
10.3 CHECKIING THE 3-WAY PILOT VALVES (SV1 & SV2) TOWER CHANGEOVER
All 3-way pilot valves have manual override buttons on the top of the
valve. To test SV1 and SV2 do the following:
Make sure the dryer system is pressurized and the Power switch is in the OFF position. Both towers should be at full line pressure Pushing the manual override of SV1 should cause the left tower to depressurize. Allow the left tower to come back up to full line pressure. Pushing the manual override of SV2 should cause the right tower to depressurize. If this does not happen, replace that solenoid valve.
With the Power switch (SW) in the ON position and the dryer system pressurized, monitor the dryer system for one complete cycle. SV1 should be activated when the left tower is in the regeneration stage (depressurized) from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. SV2 should be activated when the right tower is in the regeneration stage (depressurized) from 5 minutes and 15 seconds to 10 minutes. These two operations can be monitored in one 10 minute cycle. Reference FIGURE 6C for dryer timing chart.
10.2A TESTING THE INPUT DEVICES
The input devices supply a 120VAC signal to the SmartRelay. See FIGURE 10B for a list of the input devices.
The input devices can be easily tested for proper operation. With power to the control box, set the Power switch to the ON position.
Press the Alarm Reset Pushbutton and verify that there is 120VAC between terminals N and I3 on the Smart Relay. If there is no voltage, replace the Alarm Reset Pushbutton.
The pressure switches monitor the failure to switch option. The inputs from the pressure switches (PS1, PS2) can be observed while the dryer system is in operation. Any time there is more than 30 psig pressure in the left tower, pressure switch (PS1) should supply a 120VAC signal to Smart Relay terminal I1. Any time there is more than 30 psig pressure in the right tower, pressure switch (PS2) should supply a 120VAC signal to S martRelay termial I2. If either of the pressure switches does not respond as previously explained, check the wiring to the pressure switch. If the wiring and device are good, theSmartRelay is faulty and should be replaced. Reference FIGURE 10D WIRING
DIAGRAM for wiring and terminal numbers.
PAGE 14
If the above responses are not observed, rst check to see if power
is being supplied to each solenoid valve when it is supposed to open. Check the wiring between the SmartRelay and solenoid valves. If the SmartRelay is not supplying power to the valve as it should, replace the SmartRelay. If the valve has power but does not operate, it must be replaced.
TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION 10
10.4 CHECKING THE INLET TRANSFER VALVE
The inlet transfer valve should not change position until both towers are at equal pressure. At tower changeover, the regenerating tower should approach full line pressure before the inlet valve will switch.
Make sure that there are no leaks in the piping or ttings. Make
sure that the purge exhaust valves are closing and that the purge metering valve is properly set.
The exhaust ports on top of the pilot valves (SV1 & SV2) should not have air exhausting through them continuously. If air is exhausting continuously through either of the exhaust ports, the inlet transfer valve or exhaust valves are faulty and should be rebuilt or replaced.
To test the inlet transfer valve for proper operation, turn off the power, isolate and depressurize the dryer.
Remove the two pilot lines to the inlet valve. The pilot lines are
connected to the outside anges of the valve. Reference FIGURE 10C. Using an air nozzle and clean air, pressurize one of the ports.
Observe the position indicator. It should move in the direction of the port that is being pressurized. No air should be exhausting from the other port. Pressurize the other port. The valve should move to the other side. If the valve does not move or air is being exhausted out of the port that is not pressurized, the inlet transfer valve must be rebuilt or replaced. Reference SECTION 11.3 for repair kit part numbers.
10.6 CHECKING THE PURGE EXHAUST VALVES
The purge exhaust valves are normally closed. They can be checked by removing the pilot air lines to them. The valves should be closed.
Using an air nozzle and clean air, pressurize the purge exhaust valves. The valves should open when pressurized. If valve does not open and close, it should be rebuilt or replaced. See SECTION
11.3 for repair kit part number.
10.7 CHECKING THE OUTLET CHECK VALVES
This dryer system uses two check valves for outlet air control. If
either of the outlet valves fails, one of the following will occur:
• A large amount of air will purge from one tower
• The outlet air ow will be blocked
If either happens, the faulty check valve must be replaced. See
SECTION 11.3 for part number.
