A IR R EGULATOR
The compressed air for the BRAHM ™ Collector must be regulated at 80 to 100 PSI. A regulator is
used to allow the high-pressure air supply lines or tanks to be reduced to safe and usable pressure
for pulsing the unit. If the pressure is too low, the valves may not properly clean the filters. If the
pressure is too high, it may damage the valves.
A IR F ILTER
The compressed air for the BRAHM ™ Collector must be clean. Dirty air entering the system can
cause damage to pneumatic components. The air should be filtered to remove all contaminants by
the compressed air supply system prior to entering the BRAHM ™ Collector.
D RY A IR
The air supply to the BRAHM ™ Collector must be dry or drained. Water carried with air into the
BRAHM ™ Collector can wash away lubricating oil. This can mean excessive wear to pneumatic
components and higher maintenance expenses. Without adequate lubrication pneumatic components
can run sluggishly, inefficiently, and be prone to air leakage. Water in the supply line must be
removed using a dryer or water drain trap.
S HUT O FF V ALVE (N OT I NCLUDED )
Each unit must be fitted with a shut off valve capable of being locked out with blow off capability.
Safety procedures such as lock out / tag out procedures must be followed with pneumatic as well as
electrical systems. This means, the valve must be a 2-way valve which will exhaust the air from the
BRAHM ™ Collector when the shut off valve has been locked out. The exhaust port should be fitted
with a pneumatic muffler to reduce noise if above unacceptable levels.
