Replacing the Process/Regeneration Heater

Replacing the Process/Regeneration Heater

The dehumidifying dryers utilize a single-phase Calrod-type heater element. This heater element is mounted in the center compartment in the desiccant beds. Although the replacement procedure is the same for each heater, the wattage varies by model, voltage, temperature range, etc.

WARNING! Hazardous electrical current present.

Disconnect and lock out power before you replace heater elements!
