Hello all. I have a colleague who has been sending me reports of work carried out on some vacuum driers and has come across an anomaly. Please read and submit your ideas.
Below is a paragraph from an email I received after asking about compressor over heating and burnouts.

"Well that's the strange thing, that systems never had a burnout we've changed the compressor because it was noisy and the report came back saying that the oil was too thin causing excessive wear on all components. So we changed the comp, oil Sep, filter drier and fitted a burnout drier. It lost its gas when a pipe broke off due to vibration a month ago, carried out repair and changed the liquid drier, it was completely black inside all the pipes and sight glass."



Many thanks in advance.

Rick
