Great Lakes Air Compressed Air Dryer GBS-800

Warning: The Blower Polishing and External Heated modes of operation require an adequate supply of purge air which is essential for proper regeneration of desiccant and good dewpoint suppression.

If your system pressure varies throughout the day, set the purge pressure at a low-pressure period so during those low-pressure periods the purge flow is not starved.

Always consult the factory prior to changing operating conditions.

Set the adjustable purge valve to the required value for equipment operating at standard conditions.

DO NOT operate the dryer with the purge valve closed the flow path is required in all modes for repressurization.
