User manual BENDIX CYCLONE DURADRAIN TRAILER WATER

[. . . ] The cyclonic motion separates the oil, water and particulates. The oil, water and particulates gravitate to the bottom of the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator where they collect. When the air pressure above the purge nut check valve returns to atmospheric pressure, the check valve moves up and off its seat. The contaminants then drain through the purge nut drain port. SD-08-2402 3. [. . . ] The trailer water separator should be installed at the lowest point on the air line, but should not be too low causing a dip in the air line. The Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator must be installed vertically with the purge nut pointing down to the ground to allow for adequate draining. Locate a mounting position on the trailer frame rail or crossmember. Using the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes. Consult with the trailer manufacturer prior to drilling any holes in the frame rail or crossmember. If a mounting spacer is used, install as shown in Figure 2. Secure using grade 2 or 5 mounting hardware. Cut the air line and install a 3/8" NPT male fitting at each end. Connect the air lines to the supply and delivery ports of the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator. 2 SPRING BRAKE CYCLONE DURADRAINTM TRAILER WATER SEPARATOR CONTROL SUPPLY ABS UNIT OR RELAY VALVE PLACEMENT OF OPTIONAL SUPPLY LINE CYCLONE DURADRAINTM TRAILER WATER SEPARATOR SR-5TM SPRING BRAKE VALVE FIGURE 3 - TRAILER SCHEMATIC SERVICE INTERVALS Service intervals are dependent on specific environmental and operational factors that control the amount of contamination removed by the Cyclone DuraDrainTM unit. Experience should be used to determine how frequently the unit must be serviced. As a recommended minimum, every 12 months, 100, 000 miles or 3, 600 operating hours, perform the Operational and Leakage Tests. Inspect the Cyclone DuraDrainTM unit for unrestricted airflow and blockage from debris collection. Remove the purge nut and service according to the "Disassembly and Cleaning" instructions. If the purge nut is damaged or improperly functioning, replace with the purge nut service kit. 2. When full system pressure is reached, and the spring brakes are fully released, apply a soap solution to the supply and delivery ports of the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator. A 1" bubble in 5 seconds is permissible. DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING Periodically inspect and clean the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator. Do not disconnect or remove the Cyclone DuraDrainTM body. Disconnect both upstream gladhands from the trailer or dolly before beginning work on the Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator. All servicing can be done without disconnecting the air lines from the body. Remove the 1-3/8" hex purge nut assembly with o-ring from the bottom of the leaking Cyclone DuraDrainTM trailer water separator. AIR CLEANING A rubber pressure-activated valve is located under the screen in the purge nut. The screen is permanently installed and cannot be removed. [. . . ] Wash the hex purge nut in mineral spirits parts washer. Flow solvent downward through the screen and out the drain hole. For stubborn debris, the purge nut may be soaked in the parts washer overnight to dissolve persistent deposits. Apply a small amount of barium grease to o-ring and place it into the o-ring groove of the purge nut assembly. [. . . ]
