MOISTURE SEPARATOR MAINTENANCE
The moisture separator will operate indefinitely under normal working
conditions, however at some time it may be necessary to replace the
seals should the housing leak.
1. Isolate the housing from the air supply.
2. Fully depressurize in drain bowl as appropriate.
3. Unscrew bowl and remove. If pressure has not been completely
released from the housing, air will escape from the warning hole giving
an audible alarm. Screw back bowl and repeat instruction 2 before
attempting again. Should resistance to unscrewing be experienced,
provision is made for a ’C’ spanner to fit onto the ribs of the bowl.
4. Check condition of bowl seal and replace if necessary. Clean screw
threads.
5. Refit bowl with ’O’ ring seal.
6. Repressurize and check for leaks. If leaks occur they will most
probably be from the bowl ’O’ ring. Depressurize housing and remove
’O’ ring as stated above and inspect and clean. Ensure that mating
surfaces are clean and then refit ’O’ ring and repressurize.
