OTT Air drying unit

OTT Air drying unit is designed to work with OTT CBS bubble sensor with 30-meter measuring range to provide dried intake air due to high bubble pressure. Without the air drying unit, there is a risk of water condensation and blockage of the measuring tube, especially in humid environments with temperature differences.

The air drying unit contains a strongly hygroscopic drying medium that effectively reduces the humidity of the air sucked in from the surroundings. It is equipped with an air humidity indicator (SMD – Humitector) that displays the relative air humidity inside using four colored fields. When a specific humidity level is reached, the color of the corresponding field changes, indicating the need for replacement of the drying medium.

3 Introduction
Due to the high bubble pressure, the OTT CBS bubble sensor with 30 meter mea-
suring range requires dried intake air. Otherwise, there is the danger, particularly
with high humidity in the surrounding air and with temperature differences along
the measuring tube, that water condenses in the measuring tube and the measur-
ing tube is blocked by the formation of water drops. In the same way, under unfa-
vorable conditions, icing can occur inside the OTT CBS.
In order to dry the intake air, the OTT CBS is provided with an air drying unit. The
air drying unit is filled with a strongly hygroscopic drying medium that reliably
reduces the humidity of the air sucked in from the surroundings. The air drying
unit is additionally equipped with an air humidity indicator (SMD – Humitector).
This shows the relative air humidity inside using four colored fields. If a specific air
humidity is reached, e.g. 20 %, the color of the relevant colored field changes
from blue to pink. Once the absorptive capacity of the drying medium has been
reached, replacement is fast and simple.
The air drying unit can also be used in an OTT CBS with 15 meter measuring
range. This is appropriate in cases where the surrounding air has constantly high
humidity and/or with large temperature differences along the course of the mea-
suring tube.

4 Installation
Please ensure that the following points are noted during installation
䊳The connection tube must be kept dry!
䊳Do not install the air drying unit in hermetically sealed control cabinets!
䊳Only install in a vertical position (see Figure)!
䊳Install in an area that has as much protection against humidity as possible!
Do not expose the air drying unit to rain or dripping water!
䊳Leave the transport seal on the air drying unit until installation!
How to install the air drying unit:
䡵Attach the aluminum bracket for the air drying unit to a suitable surface using
at least 2 screws (wood screws and wall plugs supplied). Do not fully tighten
the screws to allow the air drying unit to be detached for maintenance (slots).
䡵Separate the OTT CBS from the electrical supply (pull out screw terminal strip).
䡵Carefully screw out the intake filter of the OTT CBS using a screwdriver (size 9).
If necessary, hold the hex nut still with an open-ended wrench (size 13)! The
intake filter is no longer needed.
䡵Screw the screw-in connection with sealing ring into the OTT CBS and tighten
firmly by hand.
䡵Remove the transport seal from the air drying unit.
䡵Push the cap nut onto the connection tube.
䡵Push the connection tube onto the OTT CBS and onto the nipple of the screw-in
connector of the air drying unit as far as it goes.
䡵Screw on the cap nut and tighten firmly by hand.
䡵Reconnect electrical supply.

5 Maintenance
䡵Regularly check the air humidity indicator: at least every 12 months: the drying
medium should be replaced once the "30 %" color field has colored. If the
"40 %" field is also colored, the drying medium must be replaced immediately.

The inspection periods given are
only a rough recommendation.
They depend heavily on the local conditions
at the measurement station and should be
adapted in the light of individual experience!

Replace drying medium
immediately!
(air humidity approx. 40 %)
Check drying medium
at more frequent intervals.
(every 3 … 6 months)
(air humidity approx. 20 %)
Recommendation:
Replace the drying medium
Otherwise check drying medium
at frequent intervals.
(every 4 … 6 weeks)
(air humidity approx. 30 %)
Check drying medium
at regular intervals.
At least every 12 months.
(air humidity approx. 10 %)
Drying medium has sufficient
absorptive capacity (delivered state).
(air humidity inside the
air drying unit under 10 %)
Safety instructions
Caution: Avoid the drying medium contacting the skin or eyes during replacement!
Do not breath in any dust that occurs!
The drying medium can cause irritation of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Safety recommendation: wear suitable goggles and protective gloves!
If required, we can provide a safety data sheet for the drying medium used (alkali
alumino silicate).
How to replace the drying medium:
䡵Separate the OTT CBS from the electrical supply (pull out screw terminal strip).
䡵Remove the aluminum bracket for the air drying unit from the fastening screws.
䡵Unscrew the red screw cap.
䡵Pour out the used drying medium. The drying medium can be disposed of in
the normal household waste.
䡵Cut off the corner of the drying medium refill pack and pour the drying medi-
um into the air drying unit up to approx. 1 cm under the filling opening.
䡵Replace the screw cap immediately and tighten lightly by hand.
䡵Hang the air drying unit on the fastening screws again.
䡵Reconnect electrical supply.
Note: The air humidity indicator regenerates within about 60 minutes after
replacing the drying medium (all color fields colored blue again).
