How the TWIN Air Dryer Works TWIN air dryer cartridges contain desiccant material that filters and dries compressed air. The process begins when supply tank pressure drops below cut-in pressure (approximately 100 psi). When this happens, the governor turns the compressor on. The compressor sends air to the supply port of the dryer, and an air drying cycle begins. Revised 11-02 Page 1

Section 1 Introduction TWIN Air Drying Cycle Figure 1.2 Figure 1.4 1 Dryer Inlet 2 Dryer Outlet 3 Governor Port 4 Purge Valve 1002212b Air drying cycle begins Air enters the dryer at the supply port (Port 1) Air flows past piston in to the first (right) cartridge. Air flows through cartridge where it is dried; moisture and contaminants are filtered out through the desiccant material in the cartridge. Dry, clean air flows to the delivery port (Port 2) of the dryer for delivery to the supply tank. Some air is diverted to the second cartridge where it moves upward through the desiccant. This cleans and dries (regenerates) the desiccant. While the compressor is running, a mild flow of air will vent to atmosphere through the purge valve. 1 Dryer Inlet 2 Dryer Outlet Air drying cycle continues, cartridge functions reversed Incoming air enters the second (left) cartridge for drying and then flows to the delivery port. Small amount of dried air flows into the first (right) cartridge to regenerate desiccant. Alternating air drying cycles continue, one cartridge to the other, every 60 seconds as long as the compressor is running. Figure 1.5 3 Governor Port 4 Purge Valve 1002214b Figure 1.3 2 3 1 1002215b 1 Dryer Inlet 2 Dryer Outlet 4 1002213b 3 Governor Port 4 Purge Valve 1002213b At 60 psi or greater, the air dryer switches cartridges every 60 seconds Switching is controlled by timer/solenoid. Pistons shift from right to left, reversing airflow pattern. A mild purge, or puff of air, can be heard at the purge valve at the time of shift. 1 Dryer Inlet 2 Dryer Outlet 3 Governor Port 4 Purge Valve Dryer purges Supply tank reaches cutout pressure. Governor unloads compressor. Governor supplies air to unloader port (Port 4) of dryer. Moisture and contaminants pass through purge valve and out of dryer. A burst of air occurs when dryer purges; airflow from purge valve ceases for duration of unloaded cycle. Page 2 Revised 11-02

Section 1 Introduction System Components Air Dryer Parts Figure 1.6 Air Dryer Base: The aluminum casting to which all air dryer components are assembled. Base contains threaded mounting holes. Refer to Figure 1.6. 1002216a Figure 1.7 Desiccant Cartridge: A cylindrical steel housing that contains the filter element and desiccant necessary to filter and dry the air that passes through it. For easy maintenance, all Meritor WABCO air dryer cartridges are of spin-on/spin-off design. Refer to Figure 1.7. 1002217a Figure 1.8 Heater Assembly: Located in the air dryer base, the heater keeps the water that collects in the air dryer from freezing. The assembly consists of a cylindrical resistive-type heating element and a small circular thermostat. The thermostat turns the heater on at 45 F (7 C) and turns it off at 86 F (30 C). Refer to Figure 1.8. 1002218a Figure 1.9 Orifice and Check Valve Assembly: Controls the flow of air for regeneration. There are three sizes: 0.8 mm for systems with compressor ratings less than 21 CFM, 1.0 mm for compressor ratings between 21 and 35 CFM, and 1.3 mm for compressor ratings greater than 35 CFM. Refer to Figure 1.9. 1002219a Revised 11-02 Page 3

Section 1 Introduction Air Dryer Parts, Continued Figure 1.10 Charging Valve: Keeps control valves from shuttling while the system is filling and pressure is too low to ensure proper operation. Refer to Figure 1.10. 100220a Figure 1.11 Outlet Check Valve: Prevents air from flowing back through the air dryer and escaping out the purge valve during the compressor unload cycle, or while the vehicle is shut off. It is located in the outlet port of the air dryer. Refer to Figure 1.11. 100221a Figure 1.12 Purge Valve: Allows collected moisture and contaminants to be expelled from the air dryer during the unloaded cycle. The purge valve remains open for the entire compressor unload cycle. Refer to Figure 1.12. NOTE: While the compressor is running, a mild flow of air will vent to atmosphere through the purge valve. This is a normal condition. 100222a Figure 1.13 Solenoid and Armature Assembly: Controls timing and operation of right and left piston assemblies. This determines which cartridge dries and which one regenerates. Refer to Figure 1.13. 100223a Page 4 Revised 11-02

Repair or replace compressor. Replace desiccant cartridge(s). Repair or replace turbocharger. Page 8 Revised 11-02

Section 2 Troubleshooting and Testing Condition Possible Cause Suggested Repair Dryer does not purge when compressor unloads. Air pressure does not build in brake system. Air continues to flow from purge valve after air compressor unloads. NOTE: This could be accompanied by a loss of engine power. Internal valves not switching. Wrong air line or no air line connected to dryer Port 4. Control line from governor unloader port to air dryer leaking. Purge valve stuck closed. Problem with governor. Cutout pressure never reached by air compressor. Leak in air system. Problem with compressor. Air dryer control port (Port 4) plumbed wrong. Obstruction in air compressor discharge line or air dryer outlet line. Air compressor discharge line plumbed to air dryer outlet port (Port 2). CTI Applications: Back-pressure control valve installed incorrectly. Faulty compressor discharge hose. Compressor intake is turbocharged and there is no turbo cutoff valve in system. Orifice blocked, internal passages blocked, valve components covered with sludge. O-rings in bad condition (cut, worn). Connect air lines properly. Repair any leaks. Replace purge valve. Repair or replace governor. Check air system for leaks. If condition is not corrected: Check/repair compressor. Tighten all air line connections, test system for leaks, make necessary repairs. Repair or replace the compressor. Repair or replace problem air system components. Verify proper installation. Check lines for crimps or blockages. Make necessary repairs. Verify proper installation. Make necessary repairs. Verify installation of back-pressure control valve. Check for pinhole leaks along length of compressor discharge line from compressor to air dryer. If found, replace hose. Make sure replacement hose is capable of sustained high temperature use. Install a turbo cutoff valve. Clean as needed, replace worn parts. Make sure O-rings are properly installed and in good condition. Revised 11-02 Page 9

Section 2 Troubleshooting and Testing System Tests Heater Resistance Figure 2.3 Solenoid Check Turn ignition on. Do not start engine. To ensure power to solenoid, check at cable with volt-ohmmeter, or test light. Refer to Figure 2.4. Go to TWIN dryer and listen for the solenoid to click. There should be one click every 50-60 seconds. If not, solenoid is defective. Figure 2.4 1 Heater 2 3 To avoid damaging components, Meritor WABCO recommends performing this resistance check with the heater in place. 1. Set volt-ohmmeter to ohms. 2. With wires connected and properly secured, attach one probe to the heater connector and the second to the lead on the thermostat. Refer to Figure 2.3. 3. Measure the resistance. 12-volt system: If 1.0 2.0 ohms, resistance is acceptable. If the resistance is less than 1.0 ohm or more than 2.0 ohms, replace heater. 24-volt system: If 5.0 7.0 ohms, resistance is acceptable. If the resistance is less than 5.0 ohms or more than 7.0 ohms, replace heater. 4. Reinstall components and vehicle harness. Leak Test 1. Drain the air from all system tanks. 2. Close the draincocks on all reservoirs. 3. Start the vehicle. Allow the air system pressure to build while the engine idles. 4. There will be a light airflow from the purge valve. This is normal and will continue until the air compressor unloads. After 50 60 seconds, and if the system pressure has built to at least 60 psi, there will be a mild purge, or exhaust of air, as the dryer switches cartridges. If there is no purge, the solenoid may be bad. Refer to Solenoid Check box for a quick solenoid test. When the air system reaches cutout pressure, the dryer will purge completely. After purging, the dryer will not exhaust any air until the compressor starts up again. 1 Standard Harness P/N R950041 2 Ground ( ) 3 Locating Pin 4 Positive (+) 5 Timer/Solenoid 6 Heater 5. Shut off the engine. 6. Apply a soap solution to each connection that contains pressurized air. Check the connections to see if soap solution bubbles. No soap bubbles Soap bubbles appear. 1 Connections are sealed properly. Connections not sealed properly. To repair: 1. Drain all reservoirs. 2. Remove leaking connection. 3. Inspect the connectors and ports for damaged threads or cracks. Replace if necessary. 4. Apply pipe sealant or Teflon tape to connection. Repeat leak test until all connections are sealed. 6 5 4 1003340a Page 10 Revised 11-02

Appendix I Glossary Appendix IGlossary Basic Air System/Air Dryer Terms Air Compressor Air Dryer Air Governor Compressor Load Cycle Compressor Unload Cycle Cut-in Pressure Cut-out Pressure Desiccant Drying Cycle Purge Purge Cycle Regeneration A device that pumps air to and builds air pressure in an air system. A device that cools, filters, and dries the air delivered by an air compressor. A device that controls the operation of the air compressor by constantly monitoring air pressure in the supply tank of the air system. The air governor initiates the compressor unload cycle when the cutout pressure is reached. It also controls the air dryer by sending an air signal at the beginning of the compressor unload cycle to the control port of the air dryer. This initiates the purge cycle. When the signal is stopped, the purge valve closes and the drying cycle begins. The time during which the air compressor is building air pressure in an air system. The time during which the air compressor is idling and is not building air pressure in an air system. The pressure level in the air system supply tank that triggers the compressor load cycle. The pressure level in the air system supply tank that triggers the compressor unload cycle. A granular substance that has a high affinity for water. It catches and retains moisture from the air stream. The time during which the air dryer cools, filters and removes moisture from the air delivered by the air compressor. The initial blast of air (decompression) from the air dryer purge valve at the beginning of the compressor unload cycle. The time during which the air dryer is undergoing purge and regeneration. It begins at the start of the compressor unload cycle and normally ends well before the beginning of the compressor load cycle. The mild backflow of air through the non-loaded air dryer cartridge and out the purge valve. A small amount of air from one cartridge is used to remove moisture from the other cartridge. This readies the cartridge for the next cycle. The cycle lasts 50 60 seconds, then the timer switches it to the other cartridge. Revised 11-02 Page 1-A

Appendix IIApplication Information General Requirements Appendix II Application Information Compressor discharge line should have a continual downhill turn to the air dryer. There should be no water traps (low points or kinks) in the line before or after the dryer. Mount air dryer so that there is no direct splash or spray from a wheel. Keep air dryer at least 12 inches from any heat-producing sources like exhaust manifolds or pipes, transmissions, etc. Make sure there are no valves or other devices in the dryer-to-supply-tank line to prohibit or restrict the flow of air back from the supply tank to the air dryer. The purge valve must be fed by a direct line from the air governor. For applications where the working pressure in the system could be lower than 85 psi (for example, bulk unloading or central tire inflation), install a back-pressure control valve.

Installation Instructions for Special Applications Bulk-Unloading or Central Tire Inflation (CTI) Air Systems Appendix II Application Information Figure 3-A Bulk-unloading or CTI air systems require a back-pressure control valve. Refer to Figure 3-A. The back-pressure control valve maintains adequate pressure at the outlet of the dryer to ensure proper operation in high air usage applications. It is installed between the air dryer and the air distribution system, a minimum of five feet from the dryer. The arrow on the valve must point in the direction of the airflow. Refer to Figure 4-A. NOTE: These instructions are for adding a back-pressure control valve to an existing TWIN application. For new installations, refer to TP94104. NOTE: Back-pressure control valve not required for Eaton CTI. 1 Arrow points in the direction of airflow. Installing a Back-Pressure Control Valve CAUTION The System Saver TWIN air dryer is designed and engineered to minimize moisture and contaminants in truck air brake systems. It is not designed to provide moisture-free or contaminant-free air in a bulk unloading application. The TWIN air dryer should not be used in bulk unloading applications if contaminants could cause load spoilage. The TWIN air dryer is not to be used in food-grade bulk unloading applications. WARNING To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance or service. Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the vehicle with safety stands. Do not work under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious personal injury can result. Remove all air from the air system before servicing any component in the air system. Pressurized air can cause serious personal injury. Revised 11-02 Page 5-A

Appendix II Application Information Holset E-Type Compressor Systems Function Meritor WABCO offers a special Holset E-Type wiring harness for systems using a Holset E-type compressor. This harness is shown in Figure 1.18. In addition, an Econ valve, check valve and solenoid valve assembly are also required. Refer to Figure 5-A. E-type compressors can be identified by the serial number tag on the compressor. Tag will indicate: This is an E-Type compressor. For proper operation, the discharge line must be kept at reservoir pressure when the governor is in the unloaded position (compressor not pumping). If this is not done, the compressor will pass excessive oil into the air system.

Revised 11-02 Page 7-A

Appendix II Application Information Econ Valve Econ Valve Operation The Econ valve allows supply tank pressure to reach the compressor discharge line during compressor idle. When the compressor is pumping, the Econ valve lets compressor air flow into the air dryer, then on to the supply tank. When cutout pressure is reached, the governor unloads the compressor, and pressurizes Port 4 of the dryer. This opens the purge valve in the dryer and expels moisture and contaminants. At the same time, the piston in the Econ valve shifts position and blocks the flow of air into the dryer. This also allows air to flow from the supply tank into the compressor discharge line. When the compressor starts pumping again, the cycle is repeated. A check valve at the supply tank prevents air from bypassing the dryer and going directly to the supply tank during the pumping cycle. Refer to Figure 5-A for an illustration of this system. Replacing the Econ and Check Valves on a Holset E-Type Compressor System NOTE: When the OEM installed the Holset E-type compressor system, a one-way check valve, Econ valve and solenoid valve were plumbed into the system between the air dryer and the supply tank. The Econ valve must be located two to seven feet from the compressor. 1. Remove air from the system tanks and disconnect the air lines from the Econ and check valves. To ensure proper replacement, use markers to identify the lines. Econ valve ports are identified below. Refer to Figure 6-A. Figure 6-A Econ Valve Ports Inlet Port (1/2"-14 NPTF, female) Outlet Port (1/2"-14 NPTF, male) Unloader Port (1/8" NPTF, marked UNL on valve) Make-up Air Port (1/8" NPTF) 2. Attach check valve to Econ valve or supply tank. 3. Reconnect the air lines. Test the system for leaks. Replacing the Solenoid Valve The solenoid valve can be mounted anywhere in the line between the Econ valve and the supply tank. Refer to Figure 5-A. 1. Remove air from all system tanks. Disconnect the air line from the solenoid valve. 2. Unplug the solenoid from the wiring harness. 3. Look at the existing installation and remember how the old solenoid valve is installed. The replacement valve will be installed the same way. 4. Remove the old solenoid valve. 5. Install the replacement solenoid valve exactly the way the old valve was installed: The normally-closed solenoid must be installed so that when the ignition is on, the solenoid is energized and the solenoid valve is open. 6. Reconnect the solenoid valve to the wiring harness. Insert plug until latch snaps over tab on the mating connector. 7. Test the system for leaks. Page 8-A Revised 11-02

Appendix II Application Information Installing a Turbo Cutoff Valve If your vehicle has a turbocharged engine and the air compressor draws its intake air from the pressurized side of the turbocharger (at the intake manifold or aftercooler), you may want to install a turbo cutoff valve on your Meritor WABCO air dryer. This installation will prevent leakage of turbo boost through the air compressor and out of the purge valve of the air dryer when the compressor is operating in the unloaded mode. Contact Meritor Customer Service for part number information (1-800-535-5560). Installation Instructions Installing the T-Fitting 1. Remove the unloader line from port 4 on the air dryer. 2. Install a standard braking system T-fitting that has three 1/8-inch NPTF ports on the unloader line. 3. Connect a line from the T-fitting to port 4 on the air dryer. Use 1/4-inch (6.3-mm) standard braking-system nylon tubing. 4. Connect a line from the remaining port on the T-fitting to the 1/8-inch MPT port marked UNL on the turbo cutoff valve. Use 1/4-inch (6.3-mm) standard braking-system nylon tubing. CAUTION Make sure there are no kinks or sags in the lines connected to the turbo cutoff valve. Moisture and dirt can build up and block the lines. The turbo cutoff valve and the air dryer will not work when these lines are blocked. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Stop the engine. 3. Drain pressurized air from all reservoirs to 0 psi (0 bar). 4. Disconnect the delivery line at port 1 on the air dryer. NOTE: If there is not enough room to install the turbo cutoff valve to port 1 on the air dryer, connect a 90 fitting to port 1 of the air dryer. Then connect the threaded end of the turbo cutoff valve to the fitting. 5. Install the threaded end of the turbo cutoff to port 1 on the air dryer. Make sure the arrow on the turbo cutoff valve points toward port 1. 6. Connect the delivery line from the compressor to the 1/2-14 NPT port marked with an arrow ( ) on the turbo cutoff valve.
