    This instruction book provides maintenance and service procedures for an air filter. Some key points: - The activated carbon in the filter should be changed every 8,000 hours of use or if oil vapors or odors are detected. - When the air temperature processed by the filter is higher than the reference temperature, the filter's lifetime will be reduced significantly and oversizing the filter is recommended. - The maintenance procedures describe safely emptying and refilling the filter, including proper disposal of activated carbon and use of protective equipment like gloves and dust masks. - Routine service checks are recommended every 6 months or 4,000 hours to inspect for leaks, and annually at 8,000 hours to inspect all

    6 Service and maintenance

    6.1 Service
    Change the activated carbon every 8000 hours
    The pressure drop of the filter will not increase during its lifetime. Nevertheless, the
    activated carbon must be changed earlier at the first signs of oil vapor or odor.

    When the filter has to process air with a temperature higher than the reference temperature, the
    filter’s lifetime will be reduced considerably. It is then advisable to oversize the filter.
    The air flow of the filter is from the top to the bottom of the filter.
    When the oil indicator shows a fast increase of oil content in the air, the activated carbon and the
    indicator tube should be replaced, and the preceding oil coalescence filter elements should be
    serviced.

    6.2 Procedure

    Warnings

    • Before starting any maintenance or repairs,


    stop the air flow through the filter.
    • Depressurize the air system.
    • Always isolate the filter inlet and outlet during
    maintenance.
    • Follow all relevant instructions given in the
    section Safety precautions.
    • A full flow safety valve must be foreseen in the
    installation before the inlet of the filter.

    Emptying the filter

    Safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask must be worn during the emptying procedure as
    dust may be produced.

    When replacing activated carbon, make sure that the activated carbon is disposed of
    according to the local regulations.

    Procedure
    1. Stop the air flow through the filter.
    2. Isolate the filter from the air net by closing the air inlet and outlet valves.
    3. Depressurize the vessel slowly.
    4. Install a suitable collector underneath the activated carbon removal plug for emptying.
    5. Remove the activated carbon removal plug and let the activated carbon flow into the
    collector.

    Instruction book

    A vacuum cleaner may be used to speed up the process and to control dust emission.

    Filling the filter

    Safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask must be worn during the filling procedure as
    dust may be produced.
    Do NOT overfill the filter.
    When replacing activated carbon, make sure that the activated carbon is disposed of
    according to the local regulations.
    When replacing the activated carbon, never use an ejector or similar equipment as this
    might shatter the granular. The granular must be gravity-fed into the filter.
    After replacing the filter medium, the amount of dust released can increase. Therefore, it
    is recommended to replace the dust filter downstream of the filter one week after
    replacing the activated carbon.
    After replacing the activated carbon, flush the filter to remove residual moisture until the
    required dew point is reached.

    Procedure
    1. Once the vessels are empty, refit the activated carbon removal plug.
    2. Open the activated carbon filling plugs.
    3. Fit a large funnel to the filling hole of the filter vessel; the size of the narrow part should be
    35-40 mm (1.4 - 1.6 in).
    4. Gently pour the correct amount of activated carbon into the vessel. The activated carbon
    must stay below the level of the top strainer.
    Use a vacuum cleaner to control dust escaping from the filling hole.
    5. Refit the activated carbon filling plug. The filter is now ready to be started.
    6. After replacing the activated carbon, the amount of dust released can increase. Therefore, it
    is recommended to replace the dust filter downstream of the QDT one week after replacing
    the activated carbon.

    6.3 Service intervals


    A technical expert or an authorized expert must check the pressure vessel at regular intervals.
    This interval is depending on the classification into the pressure device category in accordance
    with the Pressure Equipment Directive and must be carried out by a certified inspection agency.

    Periodicity (*) Running hours (*) Action


    Daily • Check that the compressed air temperature does not
    exceed the limits. Refer to Limitations and reference
    conditions.
    Every 6 months 4000 • Check for air leaks.
    Annually 8000 • Check all components. Replace worn-out parts.
    8000 • Replace the activated carbon

    (*) Whichever comes first


    By first signs of oil vapor or odor after the filter the activated carbon must be replaced
    immediately.
