AIR DRYER OPERATION: 
GENERAL
The AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 assembly alternates between the 
dryers each time the brake system charges. During high 
air demand, the dryers alternate every 30 seconds to allow 
drying of the added volume of air. A pressure protection 
valve is needed after the dryers to maintain at least 70 
PSIG at the dryers during high air demand. An electronic 
module monitors the air brake system and determines 
the amount of demand. The AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 assembly 
requires a signal from the delivery port of the governor into 
the GOV port of the EverFlow
 electronic module.  The   
AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 Assembly also needs a supply air line 
from the secondary tank to the electronic module RES port. 
This line must be 3/8 inch tubing or larger
The AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 assembly is primarily designed 
to dry air on systems used for bulk unload and central 
tire infl ation. The system operates best when a pressure 
protection valve is installed between the AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 
assembly and the source of the high volume air. Refer to 
the system schematics, Figure 2.  This pressure protection 
valve should have a minimum pressure of 70 PSIG. 
Delivery pressure in excess of 175 PSIG can cause 
the purge valve to cycle rapidly between load and 
purge mode.
NORMAL BRAKE CYCLE 
(Refer to Figure 2)
When the compressor is charging (compressing air) air 
fl ows through the compressor discharge line to the inlet 
(1 IN) port of one of the air dryers. The compressed air 
includes contaminates such as oil, oil vapor, water and 
water vapor. The air then fl ows into the desiccant cartridge, 
where it fl ows through a liquid separator which collects 
liquids and other contaminants.

DESCRIPTION
The function of the AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 assembly is to 
provide heavy vehicles that use large amounts of air with 
a dryer system that facilitates continuous fl ow drying. This 
assembly provides, in a single package, all the components 
necessary to operate two dryers. The assembly determines 
if high air demand is needed and continuously switches 
between dryers every 30 seconds until the high air demand 
ceases. When high air demand is not needed, the assembly 
uses the dryers as if in a normal braking system. Each 
dryer cycles as the air brake system requires. This feature 
prevents wasted air and unnecessary cycles. The assembly 
uses an electronic module that determines air demand and 
sequences the dryers for maximum effi ciency.
The AD-IS
®
 air dryer collects and removes air system 
contaminants in solid, liquid and vapor form before they 
enter the brake system. It provides clean, dry air to the 
components of the brake system which increases the life of 
the system and reduces maintenance costs.  Daily manual 
draining of the reservoirs is eliminated, but still may be 
mandated by law.
The function of the pressure protection valves is to protect 
each reservoir from a pressure loss in the other reservoir or 
a pressure loss in an air accessory.  Each of the pressure 
protection valves in the AD-IS
®
 air dryer may have different 
pressure settings, but these are factory set and must not 
be changed or adjusted
.
The air dryer consists of a “spin on” desiccant cartridge 
secured to a base assembly.  The base assembly contains 
a delivery check valve assembly, safety valve, heater and 
thermostat assembly, pressure protection valves, threaded 
air connections and the purge valve assembly.
The removable purge valve assembly incorporates the 
purge valve mechanism and a turbocharger cut-off feature 
that is designed to prevent loss of engine “turbo” boost 
pressure during the purge cycle of the AD-IS
®
 air dryer. 
For ease of maintenance, all replaceable assemblies 
can be serviced without removal of the air dryer from its 
mounting on the vehicle.  Refer to Preventive Maintenance 
section.  
These units will not operate properly with a Holset type 
compressor.  For discharge line unloaded compressors 
a three way valve must be installed upstream of the air 
dryer.  Contact Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems for 
additional information.

 ASSEMBLY OPERATION  
GENERAL (Refer to Figure 2)
The AD-IS
®
 EverFlow
 assembly is designed to receive 
compressed air from the vehicle air compressor.  It then 
cleans and dries the air before delivering it to the vehicle’s 
primary reservoir, secondary reservoir and accessories.
