The Salem 975-100 Series Twin Tower Air Filter Dryer is a system which consists of two air
dryers connected by a common inlet manifold with integral coalescer and outlet manifold. The air
dryer is designed with a “memory” type electronic timer which allows the unit to regenerate only
when a predetermined pressure is reached and the compressor or any compressor in the consist
is loaded (pumping). Until such time, both air dryers allow a maximum flow of air to pass and
charge the entire system. (See Air Flow Diagram - under 100 psi)

Compressed air enters the inlet manifold with coalescer passing through a borosilicate coalescer
element constructed of four pleated plys which are supported externally and internally by two
layers of corrugated/perforated stainless steel. The coalescer is designed to remove the invisible
oil aerosols, one micrometer and less in size, suspended in the compressed air and prevent the
same from entering the air dryer. As a result, the desiccant (molecular sieve) is free to remove
the water vapor for an extended period of time.

With the compressor pumping and the predetermined pressure reached, one of the two dryers
begins to “REGENERATE” and the following events begin. (See Air Flow Diagram - over 100 psi)
The right solenoid valve is energized and allows air to pass and seat the right inlet check valve.
Simultaneously, the right, spring loaded outlet check valve closes. When the inlet and outlet
check valves are closed and the air dryer isolated, the right sump mounted purge valve opens.
The sudden drop in pressure forces the collected impurities within the right dryer to atmosphere
and the moisture which was adsorbed by the desiccant beads is released to the surface of the
beads. A small amount of dry air from the adjacent dryer then flows through an internal
regenerating orifice in a reverse direction over and through the right desiccant bed. The moisture
which is present on the surface of the desiccant beads is picked up by the dry air and exhausted
through the open purge valve at a level slightly above atmospheric pressure. In addition, the
double seated drain valve on the sump of the coalescer exhausts the collected contaminants to
atmosphere.

At the same moment, the left air dryer “DEHYDRATES” by removing moisture within the
compressed air as it passes over and through the desiccant beads and onto the No. 2 main
reservoir. This event is accomplished while the left solenoid valve is de-energized. In
conjunction, the left inlet and outlet check valves are opened and the left sump mounted purge
valve closed.

Approximately one minute thereafter the cycle is reversed. The right air dryer collects moisture as
the air passes over and through the desiccant beads and onto the No. 2 main reservoir while the
left air dryer purges itself and the desiccant of all collected moisture and impurities. In addition,
the double seated drain valve on the sump of the coalescer exhausts the collected contaminants
to atmosphere.

When the compressor unloads (stops pumping), the electronic timer will de-energize both
solenoid valves and both air dryers will return to the “DEHYDRATING” mode. When the
compressor begins to pump, the dryer will begin to “REGENERATE” at the point in the cycle it
stopped previously. For example, one of the dryers regenerates for 30 seconds prior to the
compressor unloading - both dryers return to the “DEHYDRATING” mode. The compressor loads

again and the “memory” feature permits the same dryer, which previously was in a
“REGENERATING” mode, to restart at 31 seconds and complete the one minute cycle (or a
portion of the remaining cycle) prior to cycling.

(Refer to No. 975-100 Series Air Flow Diagrams)

The Salem 975-100 Series Twin Tower Air Filter Dryer System is available with an individual
mounting bracket and thermostatically controlled heaters for use with the two individually sump
mounted purge valves (single seated) and one sump mounted drain valve (double seated). This
system is also available in several voltage ranges, both AC and DC.

NOTE: Some dryers are wired to cycle continuously when the unit (locative) is in a power or
dynamic brake mode regardless of whether the compressor is loaded or unloaded.
975-100 SERIES DRYER SYSTEM
INSTALLATION

The 975-100 Series Dryer Systems have been designed for ease of installation in a variety of
mounting locations. The dryer is equipped with a 1/4" steel fabricated mounting bracket. This
bracket may be welded directly to the mounting surface of the locomotive or it may be attached
using standard Grade 5 or better 1/2" fasteners. The bracket mounting interface is located on
the top of the bracket and consists of 4 17/32" wide slots arranged in a 4.02" x 10.78"
rectangular pattern. Drawing
No. 975-100 Series shows
the installation envelope and
mounting interfaces.

The preferred mounting


arrangement for 975 series
dryers is under frame
mounting located between
the number 1 and number 2
main reservoirs (Fig. 1). The
under frame location exposes
the dryer to cooling air flow
produced from locomotive
travel. Locating the dryer
behind the number 1 main
reservoir prevents the dryer
from being exposed to the large amounts of liquid which can precipitate in the compressor
aftercooler / cooling pipe. The main reservoir must be equipped with automatic drain valves (
such as Graham-White's 580 Series) to ensure large slugs of water do not pass into the dryer
inlet.

Particulate filters ( such as Graham-White's 975-075 Series ) should be installed downstream of


the dryer on both the auxiliary equipment line and the air brake equipment line. These filters are
Filename: in975100.doc - 05/18/99 - Page: 1 of 3
975-100 SERIES DRYER SYSTEM
INSTALLATION

necessary to protect pneumatic equipment from desiccant fines (dust) present in the outlet air
from the dryer. These fines can be produced during the normal operation of any regenerative
air dryer utilizing desiccants. The 975-100 Series of dryers have been designed to reduce this
dusting by the incorporation of pneumatic compactors.

If spatial constraints prevent the dryer from being installed in the preferred manner other options
are available. These include under frame mounting in other locations as well as mounting the
dryer in locations above the frame. If either of these are chosen, then the following should be
observed:

* The inlet to the dryer should come from the outlet of the number 1 main reservoir. The
reservoir must be equipped with automatic drain valves.

* The outlet from the dryer should be piped back prior to both the auxiliary equipment line and
the inlet to the number 2 main reservoir.

* The inlet temperature to the dryer must be kept under 160°F (71°C). For severe
applications where the temperature drop from the compressor aftercooler / cooling pipe and
number 1 main reservoir is not sufficient, a centrifugal air filter with coalescer and sump
mounted drain valve ( like Graham-White's 824-170 series ) should be used prior to the inlet
of the dryer.

* If the condensate from the dryer is to be piped away, the following rule must be observed.
Failure to observe this rule will result in a severe loss of dryer performance due to excess
backpressure on purge air flow. For 975-055 drain valves, the pipe size must be 3/8" or
larger.

975-100 SERIES DRYER SYSTEM
INSTALLATION

Once the location of the dryer has been established, the inlet and outlet piping interface need to
be established. Graham-White offers adapters in most standard railroad configurations. Contact
the Graham-White Customer Service Team for more information.

Once the dryer has been mounted and connected to the compressed air system, the electrical
connection must be made. This connection should be made in accordance with GW bulletin WS
975-100/200.

The Graham-White Customer Service Team is eager to help with any application / installation
issues which may arise. They may be contacted at (U.S.A.) 1-540-387-5620 (telephone) or
(USA) 1-540-387-5639 (fax).

IMPORTANT: The 975-100 Series Air Filter Dryer System with coalescer is designed with
“memory” feature which permits the unit to regenerate only when the
compressor or any compressor in the consist (synchronization) is loaded
(pumping). The objective is to conserve additional air while maintaining an
acceptable performance level.

ELECTRICAL NOTE: The “memory” type electronic timer operates only when
a signal voltage (+74 volt DC) is applied to the “B” socket of the Burndy
connector. Any interruption of the signal voltage “B” (compressor or all
compressors in consist unloaded) causes the dryer to stop cycling. When the
signal voltage (+74 volt DC) is reapplied to the “B” socket, the dryer restarts at
the point in the cycle it stopped previously. In order for the electronics to work
with the “memory” a constant power source (+74 volt DC) must be made
available to the “A” socket and a negative (-) source to the “C” socket within the
female connector (Burndy). Any interruption of power to “A” causes the dryer
to restart on a new cycle when power is reapplied to “A”, “B”, and “C”. This
sequence provides complete regeneration to both desiccant canisters.

Each 30/45 Days: Operational inspection of the air dyer requires the air compressor to be
pumping and the air pressure equal to a minimum 105 psi. The following
check list may be made to assure the dryer system is functioning normally.

1. Visually inspect humidity indicators. A blue color indicates dryer is functioning properly.
Lavender, white, yellow or brown color indicates possible dryer damage and further dryer
inspection is required (See TG 975-100 Troubleshooting Guide).

2. There should be a slight, continuous exhaust of air at the exhaust port of the purge valve
on one dryer. After a predetermined time interval (approximately one minute), there should
be a short, loud discharge of air at the exhaust port of the opposite purge valve, followed
by a slight, continuous exhaust of air. Approximately one minute later, there should be a
similar discharge of air at the opposite dryer. The change in the exhaust of air from one
dryer to the other indicates the dryer is operating properly. In conjunction, the automatic
drain valve (double seated) on the sump cap of the coalescer should exhaust each time
the air dryer cycles. If there is no change or alternating between the individual dryers or if
there is no discharge of air at either purge valve (2) and automatic drain valve (double
seated), check the following:

A. Reaffirm the air system pressure is equal to minimum 105 psi and the compressor is
pumping. The dryer is equipped with an integral pressure switch, Salem P/N 5666-048,
which is designed to close at 100 psi ± 5. If there is no exhaust out one of the two purge
valves, “jump” the two connecting wires on the pressure switch. If there is a loud, short
exhaust followed by a slight, continuous exhaust, the switch is defective and must be
replaced.

Salem, Va 24153-1099

B. If the air dryer does not cycle while the compressor is pumping, check to see if air is
present in the tubing between the solenoid valve to the inlet check valve and purge valve.
If air is present in tubing on one side, then changes to the opposite side (while compressor
is pumping), proper timing is occurring. If air is not present in tubing, check power to dryer
- see ELECTRICAL NOTE, page 1. If power is confirmed and there is no air present in
tubing, replace the circuit board P/N 5666-134.
C. If actuating air is not in the integral tubing to inlet check valve and purge valve during the
regenerating cycle, the solenoid valve should be examined to see if the electrical current is
to the coil. If current is to the coil, but actuating air is not in tubing to actuate valves,
inspect solenoid valve plunger for proper seating and renew if defective. If plunger binds in
coil and does not move freely, renew plunger.
D. Check each inlet and outlet check valve in the regenerating position to be sure of proper
seating - if loud discharge of air does not decrease to a slight exhaust of air, check for
foreign matter which may have lodged under the seat of either inlet or outlet check valve.
Clean or replace seat.
E. Inspect each dryer while in the dehydrating cycle for proper operation - there should be no
exhaust of air at purge valve. If exhaust of air is present, purge valve is not seating
properly and must be inspected and repaired with new seat, o-rings and packing cup.
F. Inspect the automatic drain valve (double seated) on the sump of the coalescer. The drain
valve is designed to exhaust each time the dryer cycles. The automatic drain valve is
actuated from one of the two adjacent purge valves. If the automatic drain valve does not
cycle, inspect the actuating line from the adjacent purge valve and follow steps B and C.
G. An operational check of the “memory” type timer may be accomplished by unloading the air
compressor (locomotive running). The air dryer should stop regenerating. Load the
compressor. The dryer should begin regenerating at the point in the cycle it stopped
previously. For example, one of the dryers regenerates for 30 seconds prior to the
compressor unloading. The compressor loads again and the “memory” feature permits the
same dryer to restart at 31 seconds and complete the one minute time period prior to
cycling.

Each 1 Year: Repeat 30 Day inspection and also the following:


1. Replace borosilicate coalescing element, 5660-100 with new element- Refer to Bulletin MI
975-160 - reverse side shows replacement procedure - For Repair Parts Kit order P/N 75-
018.

2. On new locomotives, remove and replace filter element 5664-013 in final filters 975-075.
On older locomotives, replace filter element in 824 filter.

3. Inspect regenerating orifice/operation. Push in the orifice plunger - if plunger will not push
in, wait for the dryer to switch cycles, approximately one minute then push in plunger.
When cycle change occurs, the orifice plunger should automatically return to the extended
position. If this does not occur, refer to Bulletin MI 975-100, Regenerating Orifice Removal
and Maintenance - For Repair Parts Kit order P/N 75-011.

1242 Colorado Street PAGE 1 of 1
Salem, Va 24153-1099

PURPOSE: The Salem No. 5666-150 Power Analyzer Assembly is designed to verify correct voltage supply
to Graham White 994 and 975 series air dryers as well as cycle the dryers. The analyzer will
detect and identify the correct constant supply voltage (74 VDC nominal), intermittent (74 VDC
Signal) voltage and incorrect reverse polarity for both constant and signal voltages. Additionally,
correct cycling and time cycle of the 975 dryer (60 seconds each side) and the 994 dryer (1
minute 5 seconds each side) can be verified using the Power Analyzer test switch without the
compressor cycling.

WARNING: Hazardous Voltage - DO NOT CONNECT or DISCONNECT this device while equipment is
energized. DO NOT REMOVE the cover of this device while energized.

OPERATION: 1.0 Supply and Intermittent Voltage Test

1.1 Place the Locomotives Breaker for the Air Dryer in “OFF” position. Make Power Analyzer
hook-up at Air Dryer. Return Air Dryer Breaker to “ON”. The Power Analyzer DOES
NOT need to be connected to the Air Dryer unless you need to test the Dryer Cycle Time
with Power Analyzer Test Switch.

1.2 With the Power Analyzer’s Test Switch in “OFF” position, the following should be evident:
• “Supply Voltage Normal” L.E.D. is illuminated.
• “Intermittent Voltage On” L.E.D. is illuminated ONLY when compressor is pumping.

1.3 NOTE: The Power Analyzer is for indicating Power Supply Problems ONLY. An
indication of supply voltage or intermittent voltage too high or too low requires electrical
service. Any adjustments to the voltage should be performed using the Locomotive
Manufacturer’s recommended test equipment and procedures. (Disconnect Power
Analyzer During Any Adjustment).

2.0 Polarity Check

2.1 If either L.E.D. for Incorrect Polarity Voltage is illuminated, electrical service is required.

3.0 Dryer Cycle Test

3.1 With Power Analyzer connected to Air Dryer, switch Test Switch to “ON” position, the
following should occur:
• Dryer should start to cycle with discharges from a drain valve every (60± seconds
975 dryers and 65± seconds 994 dryers). Note: Main reservoir pressure must be
100 PSI or greater for the 975 dryer to be functioning.

3.2 The Memory feature (if applicable) of the Air Dryer can also be tested. By moving the
Test Switch to “OFF” position during the dryer cycle, the Dryer should stop where it is in
the cycle and then return to the same Tower to complete the cycle when the test switch is
returned to the “ON” position. Note: It is difficult to know which tower is cycling with the
994 so timing only can be observed with 17 seconds repressurization and 48 seconds
purge.

3.3 If Dryer cycling problem is observed, refer to Dryer Repair & Maintenance for
troubleshooting.
