January 2011
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO START-UP
All air dryers are tested at the factory for leak-tight joints and tightness of bolts; however, during shipment, some bolts may vibrate loose. We
have no control over the handling our compressed air systems receive after leaving our factory. To prevent costly problems at start-up and
operation, all bolts should be checked for tightness prior to system pressurization. This will assure gasket life as well as prevent possible gasket
blowout. Gasket joints should be bubble tested after four or five complete cycles of the dryer, to ensure gaskets are sealed. Any loose joints
will need to be re-tightened and re-tested for leaks. Following is a comprehensive procedure for tightening all pressurized gasketed joints. If
the dryer includes manual butterfly valves, valves must be totally closed before re-torquing bolts.
TIGHTEN BOLTS IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER (i.e. 0 - 180, 90 - 270, 45 - 225, and 135 - 315) until final torque is reached.
Use ROTATIONAL TIGHTENING until all bolts are stable at final torque level. (Two complete times around is usually required.)
We regret any inconvenience this will cause you, but we feel this preventive procedure may save you time and money in the long run. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in premature gasket failure which is not covered by warranty.

SECTION 1:
INSTALLATION & START-UP
1.0
Installation
This dryer is designed to be used only with a non-lubricated
compressor. Use with a lubricated compressor will void all warranties
and may cause severe damage.
Upon delivery of the dryer, it must be checked for damage that may have
occurred during transport. If there is any evidence of damage due to
shipping, immediately enter a claim with the carrier. Shipping damage is
not covered by warranty.
Use the appropriate, load-rated lifting equipment and observe safe lifting
procedures during all operations of installation. The equipment should
be unloaded as close as possible to the installation site to minimize any
chances of equipment damage.
If the adsorption dryer is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, it
should be stored in a dry place, preferably indoors, protected from the
elements including freezing or extremely warm temperatures.
1.0.1 Dryer Location and Mounting Specifications
Reference No. 147
1.0.1.1
The Sahara-Pak HC dryer is designed for indoor operation

with ambient temperatures between 35F to 100F. The
standard electrical components are designed specifically for
NEMA 4 (see specifications). Should it be desirable to locate
the dryer outdoors, it would be necessary to: Protect the dryer
from rain by placing a roof over the dryer and to protect cooling
water and separator drain lines from freeze-up by heat tape or
other suitable means.
1.0.1.2
Locate the dryer as close to the air compressor as possible to

conserve "Heat-of-Compression" energy. Also, since the
piping from compressor to dryer requires insulation, a short run
of piping will simplify installation. Be sure that the intended
location allows for adequate clearance around the dryer to
facilitate servicing.
1.0.1.3
Remove all protective shipping crates, flange covers, etc.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
1.0.1.4
Utilizing the mounting holes provided on the skid, anchor the

HC dryer to a solid, level foundation designed to support the
dryer. Should vibrations occur on the installation location, the
dryer is to be placed onto vibration dampeners.
1.0.1.5
Because of vibration during shipping, some lines, fittings,

bolts, and connections may have loosened; therefore, inspect
all and tighten if required.
1.0.1.6
Locate and install any items that may have shipped loose from
the dryer, such as exhaust mufflers or auxiliary filters.
1.0.1.7
Models HC-1960 and smaller will have the desiccant already

installed. For larger models, desiccant will be shipped on a
separate skid. If desiccant has been shipped separate and
must be installed, reference Section 2 for desiccant installation
instructions and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Wear
protective goggles and mask when working with desiccant.
1.0.1.8
Connect the dryer to a correctly sized power supply. The

standard HC dryer requires a 115V, 60 cycle connection. For
voltage and current requirements, refer to the Dryer
Specification Sheet in Section 5.
1.0.1.9
Ground the frame of the dryer in accordance with the end

users local electrical codes.
1.0.1.10 Disconnect switch is not provided with the dryer and must be
supplied by the end user with proper overload protection
according to local electrical codes.
1.0.1.11 For electrical connections, refer to the electrical drawing in
Section 8. Be sure to look for any auxiliary connections, such
as remote alarm contacts or analog (4-20 mA) signals.
1.0.1.12 Ensure that the inlet and outlet connections to and from the
dryer are made using the correct rated fittings and piping to
meet the design conditions. For connection details, refer to the
dryer flow drawing in Section 8.
1.0.1.13 Insulate the pipe between the compressor and dryer to
minimize heat loss.
1.0.1.14 Do not hydrostatically test the pressure vessels. All HC dryers
pressure vessels are hydrostatically tested at 1.3x the design
pressure after fabrication and before assembly.
Reference No. 147

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
1.0.1.15 It is recommended that the common alarm relay, located in the
dryer control panel, be connected to the control room or
operator station, so that an immediate response to the dryer
alarm may be given when required.
1.0.1.16 If the equipment is installed in a high traffic area, protective
barriers may be required to prevent possible damage of
equipment and to prevent contact with hot surfaces.
1.0.2 Suggested Piping Arrangements
1.0.2.1
In situations where the dryer is operating 24 hours per day and

it is undesirable to interrupt the airflow, a bypass system is
recommended to permit servicing the dryer and afterfilter.
Please note, the air dryer has aftercooler and separator on
dryer skid. Refer to the following recommended installation
drawings:
1.0.2.1.1 Single afterfilter mounted with block and bypass:
1.0.2.1.2 Dual afterfilter mounted with block and bypass:

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
1.0.3 Afterfilter
1.0.3.1
Use of a prefilter is not necessary with a heat-of-compression

Model HC dryer. It is extremely important, however, that an
afterfilter be provided in the dryer installation. The afterfilter
eliminates the possibility of desiccant dust carryover into the
instrument air system.
1.0.3.2
The dryer is shipped with the afterfilter loose or with the

afterfilter skid-mounted on a separate steel frame. Below are
the installation instructions for these models.
1.0.3.2.1 Afterfilter Installation
- Mount afterfilter in such a way as to allow clearance
for the element installation and removal.
- The filter must be piped, so that the correct flow
direction indicated on the filter is followed.
- Ensure that all piping and valves are equivalent or
larger in size to the dryer inlet connection.
1.0.3.2.2 Afterfilter Skid-Mounted with 3-Valve Bypass
Installation
- Filter skid should be located as close to dryer as
possible. Use the skid bolt holes to secure the
assembly.
- Check the flow direction of each filter to ensure the
afterfilter is connected to the outlet pipe of the
dryer.
- Connect the filter skid piping and dryer skid piping
using materials and fabrication procedures that are
suitable for compressed air pressure piping.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
1.0.4 Air Supply
1.0.4.1
The air supply should be between 250F and 400F, and 100
PSIG and 125 PSIG compressed air.
1.0.4.2
In piping the air to the dryer, use a pipe size equal to or larger
than the dryer line size, keep the length of piping as short as
possible, and insulate the piping.
1.0.4.3
The compressed air generated by a reciprocating compressor

contains some pulsation; the amplitude and frequency being
related to the number of stages, speed, etc. Normally, the
pulsation associated with a multi-stage compressor will not
affect the operation of the dryer; however, it is recommended
that a PULSATION DAMPENER be installed between a
reciprocating compressor and the dryer to prevent excessive
desiccant breakup and component fatigue. A pulsation
dampener should be used in any installation where the
pulsation seems excessive. As with the air supply piping, the
pulsation dampener, if installed, should be insulated.
1.0.4.4
If the compressed air system cannot be shut down during dryer

maintenance periods, a six-valve block and bypass valving
arrangement should be installed to allow for isolating and
depressurizing the dryer, while still maintaining compressed air
delivery. Note that the bypassed air will not be dried. The
cooler and separator should still be utilized. The scheduled
maintenance periods occur at intervals of 2000 hours running
time and normally require only a couple of hours to complete.
1.0.5 Air Discharge Piping

1.0.5.1
Reference No. 147
If an air receiver is required in the compressed air system for

air storage, it should be installed downstream of the dryer.
Here it will store dried air (and require no draining).
Page 11
January 2011
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
1.0.6 Drain Piping
1.0.6.1
All the moisture removed from the compressed air is drained

away through the drain valves under the separator. Both valves
should be connected to a suitable drain through drain piping of
sufficient size for its length, to avoid pressure drop or blockage
due to contaminants on the drain water. It is recommended that
at some convenient point in the drain piping, the water flow
should be visible, so that proper drain operation can be visually
verified.
1.0.7 Cooling Water
Reference No. 147
1.0.7.1
An adequate supply of clean water must be available to the

dryer INTERCOOLER. The use of dirty or scale forming water
should be avoided. DIRTY water reduces cooling efficiency
and will require regular "back flushing" to maintain
performance.
1.0.7.2
The standard Sahara-Pak HC dryer is designed to use

approximately 3.77 GPM per 100 SCFM of 85F cooling
water. The air exiting the intercooler should be 95F or less as
indicated by the temperature screen on the panel view. This
temperature is located under the heading of cooler outlet
temperature. The cooling water inlet and outlet pipe size is
listed in the specifications at the front of this manual. The inlet
and outlet are clearly marked, but in case the unit has been
repainted or the markings are otherwise unreadable, the
cooling water flow is COUNTER-CURRENT to the air flow.
That is, the cooling water inlet is at the SEPARATOR end of
the cooler.
1.0.7.3
The performance of the Sahara-Pak HC dryer is directly

related to the cooling water temperature; thus, the cooling
water should be as cold as possible. High cooling
temperatures will adversely affect the outlet dewpoint.
1.0.7.4
The cooling water pressure drop is approximately 2 PSID

through the cooler at the above stated water flow rate, so the
cooling water supply pressure and supply and return piping
should be sized accordingly.
1.0.7.5
Do not install a thermostatically controlled water regulating

valve on the dryer and operate the cooling water in series, as
this would seriously reduce the cooling water supply to the
compressor.

1.1
Start-up
It is recommended that the operational program of the dryer and the
wiring schematic be studied before operating the dryer.
1.1.1 Safety Precautions
As with any piece of industrial machinery, common sense safety
precautions should be observed.
1.1.1.1
Portions of the dryer and related piping will reach temperatures

which could cause serious burns, if not insulated or shielded.
Personnel working on or near the dryer should be cautioned to
this particular danger.
1.1.1.2
Pull the main disconnect switch before attempting to work or

perform maintenance on the dryer.
1.1.1.3
Do not attempt to remove any dryer parts while the dryer is

pressurized. First, isolate the dryer (if bypass valving has been
installed) or shut off the compressor. Then, slowly depressurize
the dryer through the afterfilter bleed or the automatic drain
bleed (under separator).
1.1.1.4
Do not allow tools or other obstructions to interfere with the

shaft of the switching valves. Keep away from the switching
valve shafts while the dryer is operating; the actuation is
sudden and could cause injury to unwary personnel.
Prior to start-up:
Desiccant level must be checked. Wear protective goggles and mask
when working with desiccant. Desiccant instructions and MSDS can be
found in Section 2 of this manual.
All pipes and wire connections must be tightened.
Pipes must be checked for presence of scale, abraded material from the
threading, or other similar impurities.
All shut-off valves on the dryer, afterfilter, and on the bypass line should
be closed.
The ambient temperature must not be less than 33F.

1.1.2 Pressurizing Dryer
1.1.2.1
Prior to pressurizing the dryer, verify the following:

-
Reference No. 147
Dryer On Off switch is in the Off position.

System outlet block valve is closed.
Cooling water is turned on to the aftercooler.
1.1.2.2
Slightly open the inlet isolation valve, slowly admitting

compressed air to the system. When full system operating
pressure has been reached, all connections should be soap
bubble tested for leaks. Any leaks should be repaired and
retested, prior to placing the equipment in service. If some gas
other than the process air will be used for leak testing, consult
Henderson Engineering Co., Inc., for its compatibility with
system components before proceeding. Fully open the inlet
isolation valve.
1.1.2.3
When the system is filled with process air, is leak tight, and
start-up is completed, then slowly open the system outlet valve
to pressurize the downstream piping. During the procedure,
ensure that the dryer system pressure does not fall below 95%
of its reading prior to opening the system outlet valve. This will
protect the equipment internal components (i.e. filter elements,
desiccant) from gas velocities above design conditions.
1.1.2.4
When pressurizing is complete, then fully open the system

outlet valve to place the equipment in service.
1.1.2.5
Verify the system inlet pressure and temperature are at the

design operating levels.
1.1.2.6
Please note that excessive flows may cause damage to the air
dryer skid. Every time there is no line pressure, the dryer must
be valved out and brought up to line pressure slowly.

1.1.3.9.2 After pressing the left button you will access the first
hidden screen. This first screen will allow you to
change the half cycle counter, or advance the dryer
through a cycle for troubleshooting purposes. This
half cycle counter counts up, so the numbers are
easier to remember. The cycle times are shown
again for reference. 0-90 is Heating, 91-180 is
Stripping, and 181-240 is cooling. To advance the
counter, press the F1 button and enter the new value
that is desired. The new value will be entered. Once
the enter button is pressed, you can cancel out and
no change will occur.
*Note: Changes will only happen once the counter
hits 91 or 181.
*Note: Once past this screen, the only way out is to
continue pressing F4, or next screen, there is no exit
button after this.
*Note: If the dryer is in Dewpoint Demand, and still
below the setpoint, you will have to toggle timer
mode to change towers.
1.1.3.9.3 The next screen is only for EP and HL mode of

operation. The F3 button will select between HC,
HL, and EP mode. HC mode is Heat-ofCompression mode, the normal mode that the dryer
is run in. EP mode is for exhaust purge mode, and
should only be used when consulted by the
manufacturer. This function is very easy to change,
just by pressing the F3 button. This will change the
dryer to EP mode, when EP is stated on the panel
screen.

*Note: This change will NOT occur instantly. The
only way this will change will be when the next cycle
starts. The cycle that the dryer is in at the moment
will finish, including standby. This may take several
hours, so a change may not be noticed until the next
day if pressed on accident.
1.1.3.9.4 Pressing the F3 button again will access HC mode,
and no changes will be made. If the change to EP
mode is desired, one change needs to be made on
the dryer physically. The stripping valve, which is a
hand operated valve labeled V16 on the dryer needs
to be opened more. This valve is normally set up 1
turn open during HC mode, and needs to be
opened more for EP mode. If this is not changed,
then the dryer will not operate correctly and will
produce high dewpoints.
*Note: CONTACT MANUFACTURER BEFORE
CHANGES ARE MADE!
1.1.3.9.5 The next screen allows you to change the times for
Heating and Stripping. These times are set for
optimum conditions and should not be changed. If a
change is going to occur, please contact the
manufacturer. These times should read 180 and 90
for Stripping and Heating respectively.
*Note: If these times are changed, the half cycle
timer numbers will change as well.
*Note: If changes are made without manufacturers
notification, this may void your warranty.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
2.0
Operation
Never make any changes to the adsorption dryer that are not specifically
authorized by Henderson Engineering Co., Inc.
Only use original spare and accessory parts.
Carry out maintenance work only when the adsorption dryer is switched
off, depressurized (even though gauges may read 0, there may still be air
in the dryer), and disconnected from the electric power supply.
Multiple power sources may exist in the electrical panel. All possible
power sources must be disconnected before servicing dryer.
2.0.1 General Information
The HC dryer is used for the purpose of drying compressed air and other
gases according to its respective design. As a "standard model" the
dryer is equipped with two desiccant vessels and, depending on certain
conditions, provides pure, dry, and oil-free compressed air or gases.
The HC dryer is built according to the latest technological developments.
Its use can endanger personnel and can lead to considerable damage to
the dryer and other material assets if:
it is operated by personnel not trained or instructed in its use
it is improperly used
it is improperly maintained or serviced
This can result in the loss of all damage claims.

This dryer is designed for neutral media (gas) free of aggressive water,
oil, and solid elements. Henderson Engineering Co., Inc., accepts no
liability for corrosion damage and malfunctions caused by aggressive
media.
Applications other than those mentioned in this manual must be agreed
to by Henderson Engineering Co., Inc., and confirmed in writing.

essential characteristics of the dryer described here, may be necessary
for increasing efficiency or for reasons relating to safety or to normal
business practice.
2.0.2 Description
The Sahara-Pak HC dryer is a complete system consisting of the
following major components:
2.0.2.1
Drying Vessels (insulation optional)

Two ASME Code stamped vessels containing SAHARASORB desiccant (reference the Regenerative Dryer
Specification Sheet for quantity) are firmly mounted on a
structural steel base. Each vessel is provided with stainless
steel desiccant retaining screens at both inlet and outlet.
Separate desiccant fill and drain connections allow for fast and
easy desiccant replacement without disturbing process piping.
A safety relief valve is installed on each vessel.
2.0.2.2
Switching Valves
Main compressed air flow through the Sahara-Pak HC dryer is
controlled by reinforced teflon-seated high performance
butterfly valves (3" and larger). This improved two-way valve
design provides for lower overall system pressure drop than
multi-port valve designs. It also eliminates undesirable heat
transfer between compressed air streams simultaneously
flowing through the same valve internal plug, rotor, or ball.
The valves are opened and closed by over-sized actuators.
These actuators are driven by well-filtered, cool, dry air
supplied by the control air filter. The coalescing quality filter
element contained therein removes all particulates above 0.3
micron in size; thereby assuring long pneumatic actuator life.
Control air lines need no lubricators, as the pneumatic
actuators have been permanently pre-lubricated.
Speed control valves are provided, to slow the closing of all
tower switching valves to prevent upstream compressor deadheading.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
Two-way Diaphragm Valve
High-Performance Butterfly Valves
2.0.2.3
Check Valve
The standard Sahara-Pak HC dryer design employs a single
check valve (CV1) which remains open during the offstream
tower cooling step; thereby allowing cooling air to return to the
outlet air flow. This check valve automatically closes during
offstream tower depressurization, final stripping, and
repressurization.
The heating and cooling selector valves (V1 and V2) are
piloted by a dual coil four-way solenoid and two speed control
valves within the control air runs. The speed control valves
assure fast opening of either selector valve and slow closing of
either selector valve. This prevents any possibility of deadheading the upstream compressor.
2.0.2.4
Water-Cooled Intercooler, Separator, Dual Drain Trap

The standard cooler used in the Sahara-Pak HC dryer is
constructed of a carbon steel shell, tube sheets, baffles, and
copper tubes. Reference the Regenerative Dryer Specification
Sheet in Section I for the cooling water requirement.
The Sahara-Pak HC dryer may also use an existing aftercooler
by simply using our Cooler Accommodation Package. We
supply you with our coalescing separator and traps; you use
your own cooler; saving you the initial expense of the cooler.
Reference No. 147
Page 30
January 2011
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
The air exiting the dryer intercooler carries with it the entrained
moisture condensed in the cooler. A coalescing-type separator
(no moving parts, no maintenance) separates the liquid water
from the air stream where it drops to the drain section.
Coalescing-type Separator
The Sahara-Pak HC dryer has a truly unique dual automatic

drain system to remove the water from the separator. As the
liquid level from the separator rises, the primary free float drain
opens, discharging the accumulated water.
There is a level switch and 2-way valve assembly attached to
the separator which makes a complete back-up drain system.
Should any part of the primary drain assembly fail to drain the
separator, the back-up system will drain the separator and
sound an intermittent audible alarm (85 dBA) with an alarm
light to alert operating personnel to the fact that the primary
drain needs attention.
The primary trap contains a mechanical/magnetic float. This
simple and inexpensive component is capable of providing
several months of trouble-free service before grit and pipe
scale cause it to malfunction. When this happens, water will
back-up triggering a liquid level switch to activate, sending an
electrical signal to a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve
actuates a large two-way valve which, when open, drains out
the float chamber. As the float drops, the two-way valve closes.
Additionally, a primary drain failure alarm is activated every
time the second float chamber is forced to operate. The
primary trap may be isolated from the secondary and removed
for cleaning without shutting down the air system.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
2.0.2.5
High Efficiency Afterfilter (optional)

After the compressed air leaves the second drying vessel, it
may contain small particles of SAHARA-SORB desiccant dust.
This material is inert, harmless, and presents no health or
safety problems; however, to provide absolute top quality
compressed air, a high efficiency particle removal filter is
recommended.
2.0.2.6
Control Group
The complete operation of the Sahara-Pak HC dryer is fully
automatic and pre-programmed to shift drying vessels
continuously before the design water load can be reached
(breakthrough). With the Dewpoint Demand System, the dryer
will not switch towers until the drying tower is fully saturated.
The standard control is done with a PLC and operator
interface which operates the pilot air solenoids, which in turn
actuate the switching valves; all without operator attention.
The aforementioned "Primary Drain Failure" intermittent
audible alarm and light, optional "Fail-to-Shift" audible alarm
and light, and optional "High Dewpoint Alarm" light would be
included in the dryer control group, if purchased.
2.0.2.7
Instrument Panel
The standard instrument panel assures that operating
personnel are always informed of all phases of the Sahara-Pak
HC dryer operation. Dryer inlet, as well as cooler inlet and
outlet temperatures, are all monitored with temperature
transmitters that display temperatures on the panelview
screen.
Finally, a highly visible "Color Change" moisture indicator
makes clear at a glance the actual dewpoint condition of the
delivered air.

2.0.3 Theory of Operation
2.0.3.1
Reference No. 147
Heating: Hot air directly from the compressor enters the inlet
of the Sahara-Pak HC and is directed by the inlet 2-way valves
into the regenerating tower. This hot, thirsty air regenerates the
bulk of the water from the desiccant. The air is then directed
into the aftercooler where it is cooled, the coalescing separator
where liquid water is removed through the drain trap system,
then into the drying tower where the air is actually dried to its
final low dewpoint. The heating cycle lasts 90 minutes.
Page 33
January 2011
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
2.0.3.2
Reference No. 147
Stripping: At the end of heating, the inlet valves shift position,

directing the hot inlet air directly into the aftercooler, separator,
and drying tower. We now begin stripping. The stripping phase
of regeneration lasts 90 minutes. At the beginning of stripping,
the regenerating tower is depressurized through a muffler.
During stripping, a small adjustable flow of dry air is used to
remove the last little bit of moisture from the regenerating
tower. This allows the Sahara-Pak HC dryer to provide
exceptionally low dewpoints. If lower dewpoints are required,
then an optional booster heater may be required. This will
increase the bed temperature allowing for lower dewpoints.
The heater will cycle increasing the purge air temperature, so
the optional smaller sized heater will suffice.
Page 34
January 2011
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
2.0.3.3
Cooling: At the end of stripping, the regenerating tower is

repressurized. The cooling cycle valve opens (V13) and
cooling begins. During cooling, a portion of the dry outlet air is
directed into the regenerating tower to reduce the temperature
of the bed prior to tower shift. Cooling and stripping combine
to provide extremely low dewpoints and to eliminate dewpoint
fluctuations during tower shift.

As this design has been carefully tailored to your specific
application, the dryer operation can be easily understood by
combined reference to the process flow schematic; the
electrical ladder schematic; listing of various options available
and included; and descriptive operational legends.

Maintenance
2.1.1 Suggested Preventive Maintenance Schedule
The HC dryer requires a minimum of maintenance as most components
are "maintenance-free"; however, a certain amount of "preventive
maintenance" is recommended to assure years of trouble-free, highperformance service.
Whereas it is recommended that the dryer be observed and inspected as
often as it is practical, the following is a minimum requirement:
2.1.1.1
EVERY 2000 HOURS OR 3 MONTHS

1. Check the inlet air temperature; make adjustments, if
necessary.
2. Check the air temperature at aftercooler outlet; above
100F means:
a. Increase the cooling water flow.
b. Lower the cooling water temperature.
c. Back flush and thoroughly clean the aftercooler, to
restore efficiency.
3. Test the drain trap assembly and drain the sump at the
separator drain of sludge that may have accumulated by
closing off the primary drain until the secondary valve
actuates.
All of the above can be accomplished while the dryer is
operating.

2.1.4 Afterfilter
2.1.4.1
General comments and use

Afterfilter is suitable for filtering solids out of compressed air
and other neutral, compressed gases. This new filtration
concept is characterized by high flows at low differential
pressure.
2.1.4.2
Function
The soiled medium flows through the filter element from the
outside to the inside. Solids are filtered out by impact or by the
effect of inertia.
2.1.4.3
Assembly and installation
Advice: The piping system must be cleaned before assembling filter.

The filter must always be installed vertically.
2.1.4.4
Maintenance
Advice: The filter element should be replaced when a differential

pressure of >10 PSID has been reached or, at latest, after 6 months of
operation.
2.1.4.5
Changing of filter elements
Danger!
The soiled filter elements are changed only when the housings are
DEPRESSURIZED!
Reference No. 147

Troubleshooting
Following proper preventive maintenance procedures will go far toward assuring
trouble-free dryer performance; however, failures will still occur. This section will
help to identify the source of the problem and to effect a remedy.
Problem
Elevated Dewpoint
Excessive Pressure Drop in

Dryer
Reference No. 147
Probable Cause
Remedy
Inlet gas pressure below design

condition
Increase pressure
Flow rate higher than design

condition
Reduce flow rate
Drying temperature above design

condition
Check aftercooler
Desiccant contamination
Replace desiccant
Towers not reversing
Check PLC, solenoid valve, inlet

switching valve, and, if supplied,
DPDS meter.
Cooler discharge temperature too

high
Check cooling water flow rate and

temperature. Fouled or dirty cooler
may require cleaning on air and/or
water side
Dewpoint indication in error
Check calibration/operation of
dewpoint measuring equipment
(refer to DPDS guide in Section 6
of this manual for further
instructions on dewpoint
equipment).
Two-way Valve Leakage. Leakage

allowing relatively wet inlet air into
the dry outlet air stream, thereby
raising the dewpoint of the
composite air.
Compare dewpoint of air at dryer

outlet to dewpoint measured at top
(outlet) of drying tower (i.e. at relief
valve location). If significant
difference in dewpoint, one or both
closed 2-way valves is leaking.
Check actuator operation and
check for seat wear.
Inlet pressure below design

condition
Increase pressure
Page 50

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model HC
Problem
Failure to Switch Towers
Probable Cause
Remedy
No input power
Check fuse
Defective solenoid valves
Check solenoid valves SV1;

electrical connection, coil, and
valve seat.
Low pilot air caused by tubing

leakage
Check pilot air line, pilot air filter,

and system pressure
Two-way switching valve actuator

leakage causing switching valve to
malfunction. Low pilot pressure
due to leakage (or solenoid valve
failure) will cause fail-to-shift alarm
to activate.
Check for leakage
Dryer Fails to Repressurize
Purge adjusting valve, V16, is

closed
Check purge valve adjustment
Primary Drain Failure
Sediment plugging orifice or

impeding proper operation of float
Check drain trap for proper

operation. Disassemble, inspect,
and clean as necessary.
Secondary Drain Failure
Solenoid valve failure. When the

liquid level rises above the primary
float valve elevation and contacts
the liquid level probe, a circuit is
completed energizing the 3-way
normally open solenoid valve
depressurizing the secondary drain
valve actuator. The system
pressure should open the
secondary drain valve.
If the PRIMARY DRAIN FAILURE

ALARM activates, but the
secondary drain valve fails to open,
check the 3-way normally open
solenoid valve. Clean, repair, or
replace as necessary.
Liquid level probe failure
If the PRIMARY DRAIN FAILURE

ALARM does not activate after or
during failure of the float operated
drain, check the liquid level probe
for proper operation.

Introduction to the Sahara Moisture Transmitter

The Sahara Moisture Transmitter (SMT) is a low-cost, loop-powered transmitter that
provides accurate dew/frost point measurements covering an overall range of -100 to
30C (-148 to 86F).
The SMT is supplied with one 4 to 20 mA analog output that is factory-configured for a
specified range.
The SMT is easy to install, operate, and maintain. This manual contains the following
sections:

Return Policy
Making Wiring Connections

You must wire the transmitter using the factory-supplied cable which is available in a
variety of lengths.
Note: If you need to lengthen cables, refer to Table 1 below to splice an extension onto
the existing cable. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
Use the following steps to wire the transmitter to your system.
1. Push the female connector end on the transmitter cable into the mating male
connector on the transmitter module. Make sure the pins are properly aligned. Once
inserted, secure the connectors together by sliding the metal sleeve on the cable
over the connectors and turning it clockwise until it is tight.
2. Using the flying leads at the other end of the transmitter cable, connect the
transmitter to your power supply and data acquisition system (DAS) as shown in
Figure 2. Refer to Table 1 for a description of the leads in the factory-supplied
cable.

Making Wiring Connections (continued)

3. Trim any unused leads back to the outer cable jacket in order to remove the bare
tinned wire and prevent accidental short circuits.
The SMT is now ready for operation.

November 2006
III. Operating the Transmitter

After proper installation, the SMT is very easy to use; simply power the unit up and you
are ready to begin taking measurements. Since the SMT stores moisture calibration data
in non-volatile FLASH memory, you do not have to enter data manually or worry about
losing data during a power loss.
If a problem should arise with the probe, see Error Handling below for how the
transmitter reacts to error conditions.
CAUTION!
Any attempt to open the module or remove the sensor probe will void the warranty.
A. Powering Up
After the SMT is wired as described in the previous section, you may apply power to
the unit. The transmitter takes approximately 20 seconds to initialize and begin normal
operation. The unit will meet specified accuracy in 3 minutes.
B. Error Handling
In the event of an error condition, the analog output reading is forced to the following
values:
Reference No. 085
22 mA to indicate a shorted probe

3.5 mA to indicate an open probe

VII. Helpful Information
A. Ten Things to Consider When Making Moisture Measurements in Gases
1.
The sampling system should be allowed to equilibrate for up to (typically) 24

hours.
2.
A purge flow meter aids in determining equilibration point and will indicate
integrity of seals. If hygrometer reading changes with a change of flow rate:
a.
Equilibration has not been achieved.
b.
System is leaking.
c.
Both of above.
3.
Measurements should be made at system pressure, or highest possible pressure,

to minimize outgassing of metal parts, wall effects, etc. This will result in
higher dewpoints with increased sensitivity. Remember, its necessary to
convert readings taken at atmosphere to equivalent dewpoint at line pressure, if
line pressure dewpoint is what you want, or vice versa. For example, -40F at
100 psig line pressure is equal to -70F at atmospheric pressure.
4.
Often, its necessary to measure at a point that requires a sample stream

purging to atmosphere. This measurement is fraught with difficulties.
Reference No. 085
a.
Equilibration is next to impossible.
b.
Diffusion of atmospheric water vapor is always present. Since the system

is open ended to atmosphere, the amount of water vapor back flow
(against the outflowing sample stream) is influenced by ambient changes
from night to day, season to season, and even hour to hour.
c.
Even if a pigtail discharge system is fashioned, with a throttle valve at

the end, the diffusion is only minimized. Results are influenced so much
by ambient conditions that the precise measurement of low (less then 75F) moisture levels may be unachievable and even unrepeatable with an
open ended system.
Page 9
November 2006
VII. Helpful Information (continued)

5.
Any cross checking between two or more similar instruments should be done at
identical times and conditions. This is even more important when dissimilar
instruments are checked, one against another. Its not possible to use some
makes of moisture meters under flowing conditions (in situ) on stream or at
line pressures. Some are unstable or are effected by temperature changes or
other variables.
6.
Certain contaminants can cause false readings, at best, desensitize the probe.
The system will have to dry out before data can be taken again.
7.
Cleanliness is essential. Sampling techniques and set-up procedures should be

standardized. Manufacturers specs on sampling and measuring techniques
should be followed to the letter.
8.
Spare probes should be bought. This will allow checking one against another
and will avoid having the meter out of service when the probes are in the lab
for recalibration.
9.
Everyone involved should be as knowledgeable as possible on the difficulties

of moisture measurement, the use of equipment, and the meaning of data.
10. Define problems carefully. The right approach to equipment selection and
measurement techniques will instill confidence in the end results.
B. Measuring Dewpoints: Pressure vs. Atmospheric
1.
The SMT will measure either pressure or atmospheric dewpoints. For many
applications, measuring pressure dewpoint may be more meaningful.
2.
To measure pressure dewpoints, connect the supply line to the inlet of the
sample cell. Slowly open the inlet valve fully and close the outlet valve. The
sample cell should now be pressurized. Slightly open the outlet valve. The
instrument is now measuring pressure dewpoint.
Reference No. 085
Page 10
November 2006

C. Moisture Monitor Hints
1. The water vapor pressure at the measurement location is the result of not only
the moisture content of the fluid entering the system, but also is due to
desorption of moisture from associated piping, leaks in the piping system, and
moisture trapped in fittings, valves, filters, etc.
2. Whether the sensor is used in situ or in a sampling system, one should
remember that the accuracy and speed of measurement would be dependent on
the dynamics of the fluid and piping system. Response times and measurement
values will depend on the degree of equilibrium reached by the piping system.
Such factors as gas pressure and flow rate, materials of construction, length and
diameter of piping, etc., will to a large degree influence the moisture levels and
response times measured.
3. The most frequent questions associated with the total systems occur when:
a.
The response time is very slow.
b.
The dewpoint changes as the temperature changes.
c.
The dewpoint changes as the flow rate changes.
4. The hygrometer is very rapid, is insensitive to temperature and flow rate and
measures the vapor pressure of water only. If the above effects are noted, then
they are almost always the result of the system itself and not the sensor.
a.
Pressure
i.
b.
It is generally advantageous to operate at the highest possible pressure,

especially at very low moisture concentrations. This minimizes wall
effects and will result in higher dewpoints with subsequent increased
sensitivity.
Response Time
i. The response time is, in general, limited by the response time of the
WHOLE SYSTEM to moisture changes. Water vapor is adsorbed
tenaciously in many materials. A large, complex processing system
can take several days to dry down from atmospheric moisture levels
to dewpoints of less than -75F. Even simple systems consisting of
several feet of stainless steel tubing and a small chamber can take an
hour or more to dry from dewpoints of +40F to -95F. The rate of
equilibrium of the system will be dependent on the flow rates,
temperature, materials of construction, and the system pressure.
Reference No. 085
Page 11
November 2006

ii.
c.
Temperature
i.
d.
An increase in flow rate and temperature will decrease the response

time of the whole system.
It is recommended that the ambient temperature be at least +50F

higher than the measured dewpoint (to a maximum of 150F).
Flow Rate
i. If the dewpoint of a system changes as the flow rate changes, then it
can be attributed to inequilibrium (i.e. the system is off-gassing or
leaking). With moisture leaking in a system (either a physical leak or
the release from the walls of previously adsorbed moisture), an increase
in flow rate should result in a lower vapor pressure and, hence, a lower
dewpoint due to the dilution of the secondary moisture by the main gas
stream.
D. Contaminants
1. Industrial gases often contain fine particulate matter. Materials such as carbon
particles, salts, rust particles, polymerized substances, chemical liquid droplets,
dust, molecular sive, or alumina dust can be present. Their effect on the
operation of the sensor is described below.
a. Non-conductive Particulates (i.e. molecular sieve particles, liquid droplets of
hydrocarbons, oil droplets)
i.
In general, non-conductive liquids condensing on the sensor will not

seriously hinder the performance of the sensor. A slower response to
moisture changes will probably be observed due to the liquids acting as
a barrier decreasing the rate of transport of the water vapor, hence,
hindering the response time.
ii.
Particulate matter of high density and at high flow rates may cause
abrasion or pitting of the sensor surface. This can cause severe change
in calibration and, in extreme cases, cause failure of the sensor. A
stainless steel shield is supplied with the sensor to minimize this effect.
However, in severe cases, it is advisable to filter the incoming stream
with filters of teflon or stainless steel.
iii. On rare occasions, non-conductive particulate material may become

lodged under the contact arm of the sensor, creating an open circuit. If
any of the above occurs, Henderson Engineering Co. recommends
return of the probe to the factory for cleaning.
Reference No. 085
Page 12
November 2006
VII.
Helpful Information (continued)

b. Conductive Particulates (i.e. metallic, carbon, or conductive liquid droplets)
i. Since the hygrometer reading is inversely proportional to the
impendance, a decrease in resistance will cause an increase in meter
reading. Thus, conductive particles across the sensor leads or on the
sensor surface can lead to a reduced impendance with a subsequently
erroneous high dewpoint. The most common particulates of this type
are carbon (from furnaces), iron scale (from pipe walls), and glycol
droplets (from glycol dehydrators).
ii.
On rare occasion, the conductive contaminant may cause a low

resistance to occur from ground to one of the sensor leads. In this
instance, a reduction in meter reading will occur. This phenomena is
readily observed, since it not only influences the reading of the
contaminated sensor, but will also harmfully influence all other sensors
connected to the same readout. Henderson Engineering Co.
recommends return of the probe to the factory for cleaning.
c. Corrosive Particulates (i.e. sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, etc.

particulates)
i. The active sensor element is constructed of aluminum. Any material
that will corrode aluminum will harmfully affect the operation of the
sensor. The combination of this particulate and water will lead to pitting
or severe corrosion of the element. In such instances, the sensor cannot
be cleaned or repaired.
E. Aluminum Oxide Probe Maintenance
1. If for some reason an electrically conductive liquid or any other temporary
contaminant is on the aluminum oxide sensor, the ambient moisture will be
incorrect. Henderson Engineering Co. recommends return of the probe to the
factory for analysis and cleaning.
2. For optimum performance, Henderson Engineering Co. recommends having the
probe calibrated annually.

MAINTENANCE
Normal stem packing wear can be compensated for by tightening the packing gland
screw clockwise. If all of the adjustment to the packing gland screw has been made,
remove the lever and packing gland nut and add one or two replacement bearings on
top of the old packing. Reassemble the lever and packing gland nut.
CAUTION: Do not disassemble Valve while under pressure nor with entrapped
hazardous fluids therein.
General repair of the valve can be made by:
1. Close valve.
2. Remove retainer from body center section by turning counterclockwise
3. thru 1 valves only; pry out the top seat being careful not to damage the ball. 1
thru 2 valves; the top seat will come out with the retainer.
4. Push ball out of body with finger.
5. Remove packing gland nut by turning counterclockwise and push stem down into
body to remove.
6. Remove all seats and seals. To facilitate removal of the stem packing, cut with knife.
7. Replace all seats and seals as furnished in the Repair Kit. Inspect the ball and stem
for excessive wear or damage and replace if necessary.
8. Reverse the above procedure to reassemble using a sealant on the retainer threads
equivalent to Loctite Hydraulic Sealant. NOTE: VALVES IN OXYGEN SERVICE
CAN ONLY BE SEALED WITH AN OXYGEN COMPATIBLE THREAD SEALANT.
Union End Valves cannot be easily field repaired, therefore it is recommended that the
main valve section be replaced.
NOTE: ALWAYS TEST VALVE AND SYSTEM BEFORE PUTTING THE SYSTEM
INTO SERVICE.
Bronze Valves: WARNING: This product is made from Bronze Alloys which contain
lead; a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and
other reproductive harm.

MAINTENANCE
1.
Reasonable precautions should be taken before beginning work on the valve. Protective clothing, as
required, should be worn.
2.
WARNING: Before removing actuator from the valve, or before removing seat ret ainer from a valve in
dead end service, close the valve and depressurize the line.
The eccentric design of the valve may allow line pressure to open the valve if the actuator is not in
place while the valve is under pressure.
WARNING: Do not pressurize the line without an actuator on the valve.
3.
The valve must be in the closed position to be removed from the line.
4.
Begin all work on a valve that has been removed from the line by cleaning the valve, removing any
grit or scale.
CAUTION: When handling the valve, care should be taken not to scratch the disc edge or seat.
5.
Replacement seats, seals and other parts are available from Henderson Engineering Co., Inc.
STEM SEAL REPLACEMENT

Refer to the component drawing on page 2 of this cut sheet for parts identification.
1.
If required, remove handle assembly. Remove socket head cap screws (21) and lock washers (22).
Remove mounting bracket (20). For actuated valves, unbolt mounting bracket from body and lift
actuator assembly off stem.
NOTICE: Note assembly positions before removal.
2.
Remove gland retainer nuts (14) and lock washers (13). Remove gland retainer (11) anti-blowout
retaining ring or split ring (10) (depending on size), and gland ring (7).
3.
Hook out stem seals (8).

CAUTION: When handling stem seals, care should be taken not to scratch stem or stuffing box bore.
Do not remove thrust washer (9), unless further valve disassembly is required.
4.
Examine stuffing box bore and stem, clean as necessary to remove any corrosion or foreign matter
before installing new seals.
5.
Install new seals in stuffing box one at a time, TFE (white) seals first, with the carbon fiber ring at the
top. Stagger seal ring joints 180 apart when installing. Tamp each ring to bottom before installing
next ring.
NOTICE: On the larger valves, it will be necessary to compress each seal before adding the next.
6.
Slide gland ring (7) over stem on top of seals (8). Install anti-blowout retaining ring or split ring (10)
(depending on valve size). Slide gland retainer (11) over stem and onto gland studs (12). Place
lockwashers (13) and hex nuts (14) on studs (12) and tighten finger tight. Tighten gland nuts (14)
evenly and alternately to the proper torque value given in Table 1 on page 4 of this cut sheet.
7.
Remount actuator, or mounting bracket (20) with lock washers (22) and cap screws (21) and handle
assembly.
8.
Operate valve open and closed several times to check for binding and to set the stem seals. Loosen
gland nuts (14) and retighten to torque value given in Table 1 on page 4 of this cut sheet.

SEAT REPLACEMENT
Refer to the component drawing on page 2 of this cut sheet for parts identification. With the disc in the
closed position, remove the valve from the line.
1.
Lay the valve down with the disc in the closed position and the seat retainer side facing up.
2.
Remove the socket head cap screws (17), the seat retainer (16), and seat (15).
3.
Carefully clean the seat area in the body and seat retainer. Remove foreign matter, dirt, etc. Check
disc seating area for nicks or scratches.
4.
Place the new seat (15) on disc (2), carefully centering it in the recess in the body.
5.
Align the holes in the seat retainer (16) with matching holes in body and carefully place in position on
top of seat (15).
CAUTION: Do not shift the retainer in order to align holes. It may shift from its correct position.
Lightly grease cap screw (17) threads and tighten down evenly, alternating from top to bottom and
side to side. Tighten to the torque values in Table 1 shown below.
6.
Operate valve several times and examine seat for any damage before reinstalling the valve in the
line.

VALVE
MAINTENANCE
1.
Reasonable precautions should be taken before beginning work on the valve. Protective clothing, as
required, should be worn.
2.
WARNING: Before removing handle from the valve, or before removing seat retainer from a valve in
dead end service, close the valve and depressurize the line.
The eccentric design of the valve may allow line pressure to open the valve if the handle is not in
place while the valve is under pressure.
WARNING: Do not pressurize the line without a handle on the valve.
3.
The valve must be in the closed position to be removed from the line.
4.
Begin all work on a valve that has been removed from the line by cleaning the valve, removing any
grit or scale.
CAUTION: When handling the valve, care should be taken not to scratch the disc edge or seat.
5.
Replacement seats, seals and other parts are available from Henderson Engineering Co., Inc.
STEM SEAL REPLACEMENT

Refer to the component drawing on page 2 of this cut sheet for parts identification.
1.
If required, remove handle assembly. Remove socket head cap screws (21) and lock washers (22).
Remove mounting bracket (20).
NOTICE: Note assembly positions before removal.
2.
Remove gland retainer nuts (14) and lock washers (13). Remove gland retainer (11) anti-blowout
retaining ring or split ring (10) (depending on size), and gland ring (7).
3.
Hook out stem seals (8).

CAUTION: When handling stem seals, care should be taken not to scratch stem or stuffing box bore.
Do not remove thrust washer (9), unless further valve disassembly is required.
4.
Examine stuffing box bore and stem, clean as necessary to remove any corrosion or foreign matter
before installing new seals.
5.
Install new seals in stuffing box one at a time, TFE (white) seals first, with the carbon fiber ring at the
top. Stagger seal ring joints 180 apart when installing. Tamp each ring to bottom before installing
next ring.
NOTICE: On the larger valves, it will be necessary to compress each seal before adding the next.
6.
Slide gland ring (7) over stem on top of seals (8). Install anti-blowout retaining ring or split ring (10)
(depending on valve size). Slide gland retainer (11) over stem and onto gland studs (12). Place
lockwashers (13) and hex nuts (14) on studs (12) and tighten finger tight. Tighten gland nuts (14)
evenly and alternately to the proper torque value given in Table 1 on page 4 of this cut sheet.
7.
Remount mounting bracket (20) with lock washers (22) and cap screws (21) and handle assembly.
8.
Operate valve open and closed several times to check for binding and to set the stem seals. Loosen
gland nuts (14) and retighten to torque value given in Table 1 on page 4 of this cut sheet.

SEAT REPLACEMENT
Refer to the component drawing on page 2 of this cut sheet for parts identification. With the disc in the
closed position, remove the valve from the line.
1.
Lay the valve down with the disc in the closed position and the seat retainer side facing up.
2.
Remove the socket head cap screws (17), the seat retainer (16), and seat (15).
3.
Carefully clean the seat area in the body and seat retainer. Remove foreign matter, dirt, etc. Check
disc seating area for nicks or scratches.
4.
Place the new seat (15) on disc (2), carefully centering it in the recess in the body.
5.
Align the holes in the seat retainer (16) with matching holes in body and carefully place in position on
top of seat (15).
CAUTION: Do not shift the retainer in order to align holes. It may shift from its correct position.
Lightly grease cap screw (17) threads and tighten down evenly, alternating from top to bottom and
side to side. Tighten to the torque values in Table 1 shown below.
6.
Operate valve several times and examine seat for any damage before reinstalling the valve in the
line.
