2. Frequent On and Off of the switch will lead to machine troubles. Be sure to restart the operation at
an interval longer than 3 minutes once it was stopped. Protective devices may work or refrigerating
compressor may be damaged, if restarted within 3 minutes.
3. Use the Product within the range of the allowable ambient temperature. If used below 2℃ , drained
water may freeze. If used above the highest allowable ambient temperature, the Product may stop
its operation, because the heat radiation effect of the condenser declines and protective devices
start working. In such a case, refer to "Troubleshooting and How to repair" (How to distinguish
machine troubles and abnormalities, and How to deal with them) on P.20.
4. Confirm which way the cooling air from condenser is discharged.
CRX180D : Cooling air enters from the right side and flows out of the rear-upper side.
Other models: Cooling air enters from the right side and flows out of the left side.
5. In case protective devices worked to stop operation, refer to "Troubleshooting and How to repair"
(How to distinguish machine troubles and abnormalities, and How to deal with them) on P.20.
6. Dehumidifying capacity may deteriorate if Air Dryer is directly connected with an air compressor,
because supersaturated drained water flows into it. This will also affect the drain trap of the
accessory, and water may come out of the end of the air system because its draining capacity
declines. Put a drain separator, air tank or others before an Air Dryer.
7. In case the Product is applied to a compressed air system where the pressure fluctuates
precipitately, put an air tank, etc. after the Air Dryer so to make the pressure fluctuation to be less
than 0.34 Mpa/min. Its sudden change may be a cause of machine troubles.
8. Make compressed air flow into the Product little by little. A sudden flow of air may lead to curling up
of draining water to the compressed air pipes after the Air Dryer or to the damage of inner parts of
the heat exchanger incorporated in the Air Dryer..
9. Attach a check valve to the outlet of an Air Dryer, if there is any possibility of reverse flow of
compressed air because of the conditions of air consumption at the ends of air system.
10. Operate an air valves or make use of a bypass circuit at air blowing during piping works of an air
system so as to avoid sudden change of pressure in an Air Dryer. Such abrupt change may be the
cause of damage of its inner parts.
11. CRX180D : Turn on electricity to CRX180D 12-hours before it is operated. A crank case heater is
incorporated in this air dryer to protect the refrigerant liquefied in the refrigeration compressor and
to make it start smoothly. Switch-on of CRX180D without turning on electricity 12-hours before its
operation, refrigeration compressor incorporated may damaged.

PIPING WORKS

METHOD OF AIR PIPING

1. Confirm the positions of both air inlet and outlet.

In case a riser is installed

2. Do not install a riser in the air pipe.
In case a riser is installed, put a valve or auto drain trap
so that drain water can be discharged.

Install a valve or drain trap

3. Prepare a "bypass valve (bypass circuit)" between the inlet and outlet of an Air Dryer. (Fig 2)

4. Do the piping works so that an Air Dryer is not affected directly by the mass of pipes and
vibrations.
5. In case the air piping runs outdoors in a cold place, wrap the outdoor pipes with an insulator. And
wind the outdoor drain pipe with an anti freezing band.
(In the event that condensation takes place on the outlet pipe of an Air Dryer even indoors, cover it
with an insulator.)

35
METHOD OF DRAIN PIPING
1. Connection by piping
Install an open space between the drain outlet of the auto drain trap and drain pipe. If drain outlet of the
auto drain trap and drain pipe is directly connected, drain may not be discharged by back-pressure.

[Example of wrong piping]

Install an open space
No open space
Diameter of drain pipe Too small diameter and too
shall be large enough long length of drain piping
Drain is not discharged

Support or fixture Pipe outlet enters into drain.

2. Connection by a vinyl hose

[Example of wrong connection]

Too long hose

Drain is not discharged.

Hose band
Vinyl hose

Hose outlet enters into drain

Important

z If the inlet and outlet of compressed air are connected mistakenly with air piping, the Air Dryers do
not only perform fully its capacity but also be damaged. Don't confuse the inlet with the outlet.
z In the event multiple Air Dryers are used abreast, make the air piping so to allow even flow of
compressed air into each Air Dryer. Consult your distributor or a plumber about the correct method of
piping.
z In case much scale may possibly generate in the piping because of use of oil free compressors, or in
the event much scale has already accumulated in it, put a line filter in front an Air Dryer.
z Use a globe valve or gate valve on air piping but a ball valve. If the valve is opened and closed
rapidly as with a ball valve, the drained water may curl up or inner parts of a heat exchanger may be
damaged.
z Pay full attention to prevent dust and other foreign matters from coming into the air piping during the
piping works.
z When you are replacing an auto drain trap, at first, close the ball valve to release the remaining
pressure in it, and then fasten the valve not to rotate, and lastly tighten the trap and screw it in.

36
z If Air Dryers are used in a surrounding of high moisture, there is the possibility that condensation
takes place on a ball valve or auto drain trap and floor gets wet with the drips. In such a case, cover
them with an insulator or prepare drain pans under them.
z Be sure to tighten the piping of inlet and outlet of air with 2 pipe wrenches.
z Attach a check valve to the outlet of an Air Dryer, if there is any possibility of reverse flow of
compressed air because of the conditions of air consumption at the ends of air system. The inner parts
of Air Dryer may be damaged if not with the check valve in the event the reverse flow takes place.
z Operate an air valves or make use of a bypass circuit at air blowing during construction of an air
system so as to avoid sudden change of pressure in an Air Dryer. Such abrupt change may be the
cause of damage of its inner parts

IN ORDER TO PREVENT TROUBLES CAUSED BY CORROSION!
TROUBLES CAUSED BY CORROSION
TROUBLES CAUSED BY CORROSION ARE OUT OF WARRANTY POLICY.
Copper tubes (Phosphorus deoxidation copper tube) are used for refrigerant gas pipes and inner pipes
of heat ex-changer of the Products. The refrigerant gas leaks to stop their operation and water comes
out of the outlet of Air Dryers, if holes are made in the copper tubes by corrosion. Copper materials are
also used for electric wires as a conductive material. If they are corroded, it will lead to machine troubles
that bring about such safety problems as electric shocks and so forth.
It becomes, therefore, very important to avoid placing the Products in environments where copper is apt
to be corroded in order to prevent troubles caused by corrosion. Condensing and drying are frequently
repeated on the tubes in a heat exchanger. So, if the air contains corrosive substances in it, they
condense themselves on the surface of copper piping and escalate its corrosion. Consequently it is very
important to pay full attention where to install Air Dryers as well as to the sucked air by compressors.

NOTES ON THE INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENTS

It is possible such substances as NOx (Nitrogen oxide), SOx (Sulfur oxide) or CO2 (Carbon dioxide gas)
and others that develop corrosion are contained in the exhausted air in plants. It is required to take the
installation locations of Air Dryers and air compressors into consideration so that they are free from such
exhausted air. If corrosive substances are used in factories, it is particularly important to confirm if the
surrounding air of them is not contaminated by such substances. There is possibility that chlorinated
organic solvent (trichloroethylene, etc), aldehyde and alcohol (formaldehyde which comes out of
construction materials or methanol contained in chemicals used, etc) are inhaled into Air Dryers, where
they are hydrolyzed and caused porous corrosion.

EXAMPLES OF CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES

The following are the examples of substances, among the data on chemical resistance, particularly
corrosive to copper tubes.
Aniline Aniline dyestuff Ammonium (Wet nature) Sulfur (Fused) Ammonium chloride
Zinc chloride Hydrochloride acid (Chloride) Ferric (II) chloride Copper chloride
Chlorine (Wet nature) Sodium peroxide Chromic acid Iron acetate solution Potassium cyanide
Sodium cyanide Hydrogen cyanic acid Sodium hypochlorite Hydrobromic acid Nitric acid
Ammonium nitrate Copper nitrate Silver salt Mercury Mercury salts Sulfur lime
Sodium thiosulfate Potassium dichromate (Acid) Sodium dichromate Hydrofluoric sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide (Wet nature) Sodium sulfide Barium sulfide Ammonium sulfate Ferric sulfate

 IN ORDER TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCKS CAUSED BY LEAKING!
Be sure to ground the Air Dryer.
Install a leak breaker so to meet the directions of Table 1.
The concrete examples of places where to install a leak breaker and the notes to be attended are as
following.
Table 1
Place of installation Indoors Beside a building
Outdoors Dump place
Voltage to ground Dry place Moist place Inside of rainfall Out of rainfall

Over 150V and under 300V ▲ ○ -

○ ○ ○
In the case that voltage to ground is over 300V, a leak breaker must be installed.
[Note 1] The marking shown by Table 1 means the following:

○:Install a breaker.
▲:In case electric apparatuses are to be installed in a dwelling house, install a breaker.
[Note 2]
If there is any possibility that people touch the said machines from a place of worse conditions from
the electrical standpoint than those of the place where they are set up, presume that the machines are
installed in the worse place.
[Example]
Even though a machine is installed in a dry place, assume that it is installed in a moist place if there is
the risk that people touch it from a moist place.
