10 CFM Compressed Air Dryer Chapter 3: Installation 16 of 30
3-3 Connecting a Floor-Mount Dryer to a Hopper (Optional)
Use high-temperature flexible dryer hose or rigid tubing to connect the dryer to the drying
hopper. Keep the delivery hose to the drying hopper as short as possible to minimize heat
loss. We strongly recommend insulated hose for maximum energy savings. Make sure that
hoses are not kinked or collapsed.
Use the following procedure to connect a floor-mount dryer to a hopper:
1. Using the clamps provided, clamp a hose adaptor onto the dryer and the hopper. (See
Figure 4.)
Note: Depending on the drying hopper model, the clamp and hose adapter may not be
required. Connect the dryer hose with the hose clamp directly to the process air
inlet of the drying hopper.
2. Install an exhaust filter to the drying hopper outlet/return line.
3. Drying hopper air inlet and outlet locations vary, but always connect hoses so the dry
process air from the dryer enters the bottom of the drying hopper and flows out the
top.
