6-9 Process Heater Replacement Procedure

ACS dryers have a number of single phase Calrod-type heater elements wired in a delta formation. They are mounted in the vertical compartment behind the right hand desiccant tower. The number and wattage of the heaters varies with model, voltage, temperature range, etc., but the replacement procedure is the same.

WARNING! Disconnect and lock out power before heater replacement.

1.Remove the bolts securing the process heater access cover.

2.Sketch the heater wiring configuration so the heaters may be re-wired properly. Heaters are mounted on a common plate of three or six for easy maintenance.

3.Remove the jumper bars and wires for the heater plate assembly(ies) being removed or replaced.

4.Remove the bolts securing the heater plate assembly and slide out the assembly. Avoid damaging the gasketing.

5.Remove individual heaters for replacement by removing the large brass nuts and washers.

6.Re-install the heaters and heater plate assemblies in reverse order, replacing gaskets if necessary.

Caution! Heater loops should not touch each other. "Hot spots" will lead to premature heater failure.

7.Re-install the jumper wires and bars according to the sketch made earlier.

8.Re-secure the process heater access cover.
