DESCRIPTION
The function of the Bendix® AD-9®and AD-9®IPC Integrated PuraGuard® Coalescing air dryers is to collect and remove air system contaminants in solid, liquid, and vapor form before they enter the brake system. They provide clean, dry air to the components of the brake system which increases the life of the system and reduces maintenance costs. Daily manual draining of the reservoirs is eliminated.
The Bendix AD-9 and AD-9 IPC Integrated PuraGuard Coalescing air dryers consists of a desiccant cartridge and a die cast aluminum end cover secured to a cylindrical steel outer shell with eight cap screws and nuts. The end cover contains a check valve assembly, a safety valve, three threaded air connections, and the purge valve housing assembly. The removable purge valve housing assembly incorporates a purge valve mechanism and a turbocharger cut-off feature that is designed to prevent loss
