A-1 Air Dryer, Refrigerated or Regenerative Desiccant Type (Frequency: Semiannual)

Application:

This guide card applies to refrigerated or regenerative desiccant type air dryers with a capacity of 10 SCFM or greater. Those units with a capacity of less than 10 SCFM will be maintained in conjunction with the air compressor that they are associated with.

Special Instructions:

1.

Schedule this maintenance in conjunction with the maintenance on the associated air compressor.

2.

Review manufacturer's instructions.

3.

Review the Standard Operating Procedure for "Controlling Hazardous Energy Sources."

4.

De-energize, lock and tag electrical circuits.

5.

Comply with the latest provisions of the Clean Air Act and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations as they apply to protection of stratospheric ozone.

6.

No intentional venting of refrigerants is permitted. During the servicing, maintenance, and repair of refrigeration equipment, the refrigerant must be recovered.

7.

Whenever refrigerant is added or removed from equipment, record the quantities on the appropriate forms.

8.

Recover, recycle, or reclaim the refrigerant as appropriate.

9.

If disposal of the equipment item is required, follow regulations concerning removal of refrigerants and disposal of the item.

10.

If materials containing refrigerants are discarded, comply with EPA regulations as applicable.

11.

Refrigerant oils to be removed for disposal must be analyzed for hazardous waste and handled accordingly.

12.

For refrigerant type units, closely follow all safety procedures described in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the refrigerant and all labels on refrigerant containers.

Checkpoints:

1.

Lubricate valves and replace packing, if necessary.

2.

Check dryer operating cycle.

3.

Inspect and clean heat exchanger.

4.

Check outlet dew point.

5.

Clean and lubricate blower.

6.

Check automatic blow down devices.

7.

Inspect and replace or reinstall inlet filters.

8.

Refrigerated Type:

a.

Check traps.

b.

Check refrigerant level and moisture content. If low level or moisture is indicated, check for refrigerant leaks using a halogen leak detector or similar device. If leaks are not able to be stopped or corrected, report leak status to supervisor.

c.

Clean and lubricate condenser fan motor.

9.

Desiccant Type:

a.

Replace filter cartridges, both prefilter and afterfilter.

b.

Check the inlet flow pressure, temperature and purge rate.

c.

Check the desiccant and replace if necessary.

d.

Inspect and clean solenoids, purge valves, and strainers.

Recommended Tools, Materials, and Equipment:

1.

Tool Group A

2.

Cleaning equipment, lubricants, approved refrigerants if applicable, and materials. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container labels for hazardous ingredients and proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

3.

Filter cartridges (for desiccant type dryer)

4.

Gasket and packing material

5.

Fin comb

6.

Self sealing quick disconnect refrigerant hose fittings

7.

Refrigerant recovery/recycle unit
