BENDIX BW1811 Manuale Utente

The function of the Bendix

®

 AD-IP

™

 integral purge air dryer

is to collect and remove 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.

The AD-IP

™

 air dryer consists of a desiccant cartridge

secured to a die cast aluminum end cover with a single,
central bolt. The end cover contains a check valve assembly,
safety valve, heater and thermostat assembly, three pipe
thread air connections and the purge valve assembly. The
removable purge valve assembly incorporates the purge valve
mechanism and a turbo charger cutoff feature that is designed
to prevent loss of engine “turbo” boost pressure during the
purge cycle of the AD-IP

™

 air dryer. For ease of serviceability,

all replaceable assemblies can be replaced without removal
of the air dryer from its mounting on the vehicle.
