VEHICLE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
The basic application requirements presented here apply to a standard air dryer installation. The majority of highway vehicles in use today will meet these basic requirements however, some may not. Examples of vehicles that may not meet the requirements include, refuse trucks, city coaches, bulk trailer unloading operations and other high air consumption systems. While the
Charge Cycle Time — The
Purge Cycle Time — During normal vehicle operation, the air compressor must remain unloaded for a minimum of 30 seconds. This minimum purge time is required to ensure complete regeneration of the desiccant material. If the purge time is occasionally shorter than the times specified, no permanent ill effect should be expected, however, if the purge time is consistently less than the minimum, an accessory bypass system must be installed. Contact the nearest authorized Bendix parts outlet or Bendix representative for additional information. Note: Reservoir Volume - Total vehicle reservoir volume can impact the Charge and Purge Cycle time. The chart below can be used as a guide in determining if additional help is required.
