First Aid:

In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, see a physician.

6-5 Replacing Worn Desiccant

Caution! Make sure desiccant beds are sufficiently cool before replacing worn desiccant.

1.Disconnect the electrical and compressed air supply.

2.Remove the rear and side shrouds to expose the desiccant beds.

3.Free the bed covers by removing the hex nuts on the retaining rods and remove the upper screens from both beds.

4.Remove the desiccant in one of the following ways:

•Vacuum out the desiccant.

•Remove the entire bed from the frame and dump it out. To do this, remove the hose connections, unclamp the beds, and unbolt from the regen heater assembly.

Make sure the bed interiors are clean.

Important!

You should properly dispose of any discarded desiccant.

 

Consult local disposal regulations for more information.

Before re-packing the beds, determine the proper amount of desiccant for the dryer being serviced. See Figure 14 on the following page for more information. Pre-measured desiccant kits are available from the manufacturer’s parts department.

Attach the beds to the frame for Steps 5 through 9.

5.Carefully place half of the large bead in the bottom of the beds, in an even layer, on the bottom screen. Place the small bead on top of it, in an even layer. Carefully place an even layer of the remaining large beads over the small beads.

6.Install the top screen, making sure that the edge is in contact with the sides of the bed all the way around. Install the washers and nuts and tighten down. Gently tap the around the sides of the desiccant canister with a rubber mallet to settle the desiccant. As settling occurs, re-tighten the nuts. Repeat the tapping and tightening process until little additional settling occurs.

7.Install the covers and gaskets on the beds, making sure they are tight and sealed. Replace desiccant bed gasket if necessary.

8.Re-connect any hoses that were disconnected.

9.Re-install the rear and side shrouds. Re-connect the compressed air supply and electrical power.

SDA 150-380, 90-225 CFM specifications

The Sterling 90-225 CFM and SDA 150-380 series represent cutting-edge advancements in air compressor technology, designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Known for their reliability, efficiency, and superior performance, these units are essential tools for professionals seeking high-quality compressed air solutions.

One of the standout features of the Sterling 90-225 CFM series is its impressive flow rate. With a capacity range of 90 to 225 cubic feet per minute, these compressors offer ample airflow to power pneumatic tools and equipment while maintaining optimal pressure levels. The durability of the components used in the construction of this series ensures that it can withstand the rigors of heavy-duty operations while minimizing downtime.

The SDA 150-380 series further enhances this approach with its higher capacity range, accommodating between 150 to 380 CFM. This variant is particularly suitable for larger facilities and demanding applications where sustained airflow is essential. Both series are designed to adapt to various pressure requirements, making them versatile solutions for different industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive sectors.

A key technology featured in both series is the use of energy-efficient motors, which significantly reduce operational costs. These motors are designed to deliver high torque at low speeds, ensuring smooth operation and less wear on the compressor. Furthermore, the incorporation of advanced control systems allows for real-time monitoring and adjustments to optimize performance, ensuring that the compressors operate within desired parameters continuously.

Noise reduction is another critical aspect of both the Sterling and SDA series. Innovatively engineered with sound-attenuating materials, these compressors operate at lower decibel levels, providing a more pleasant working environment. This focus on user comfort doesn’t sacrifice performance, as the units are built to achieve maximum efficiency even at reduced noise levels.

The ease of maintenance is another important characteristic. Both models are equipped with user-friendly access points for essential components, simplifying routine checks and servicing procedures. This results in less downtime and improved reliability across the operational lifespan of the compressors.

In conclusion, the Sterling 90-225 CFM and SDA 150-380 series compressors set a benchmark in the industry, offering a blend of performance, efficiency, and user-friendly features that cater to various industrial needs. Their robust construction, advanced technology, and focus on user comfort make them ideal choices for businesses seeking to enhance productivity and reduce operational costs.
