16. If no safety valve is present in the air net close to the desiccant dryer (e.g. safety valve of
compressor), full flow safety valves must be installed on the dryer vessels.
17. If the maximum pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the dryer, a
full flow safety valve must be installed between the compressor and the dryer in order to blow
off the excessive pressure. This is done in case the safety valve of the dryer is out of order or
blocked.
18. When unit is not permanently secured to the floor in the vertical position or mounted
horizontally, access to electrical equipment is feasible through the unit base. In this case,
additional barriers must be provided during installation. Tag with "Warning: High Voltage"
symbol.
Note:
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance or repair.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing
of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application which are not
included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence some
statements may not apply to your machine.
1.4 Safety precautions during operation
Precautions during operation
1. Always be careful when touching any piping or components of the dryer during operation. On
dryers using heat to regenerate the desiccant, some parts will become very hot.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. When blowing through
a hose or air line, ensure that the open end is held securely. A free end will whip and may
cause injury. Make sure that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure
that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be
affixed to the remote start equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes,
vapors or particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork closed during operation. Bodywork should be opened for short periods only,
e.g. to carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when removing a panel.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds
90 dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
• All guards are in place and securely fastened
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• There are no leaks
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in
good condition, free of wear or abuse
