What is an FRL regulator?

An FRL unit combines a filter, regulator and lubricator into a single component for keeping air compressor systems in excellent working condition.

How to use these FRL regulators?

• Connect the FRL assembly to your compressed air system using the appropriate fittings and hoses.
• Adjust the regulator to set the desired air pressure for your application by turning the knob on top of the regulator, ensuring that the pressure gauge is visible and easy to read.
• Adjust the lubricator to add the appropriate amount of lubricant to the compressed air by turning the knob on top of the lubricator. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended amount of lubricant for your application.
• Install a filter element into the filter bowl to remove any dirt, debris or moisture from the compressed air before it reaches your equipment. Consult the manufacturer's instructions to choose the appropriate filter element for your application.
• Turn on the compressed air supply and check for any leaks or abnormalities in the system.
• Monitor the pressure gauge and adjust the regulator as necessary to maintain the desired pressure.
• Monitor the lubricator and refill with lubricant as necessary.
• Replace the filter element as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the continued effectiveness of the filter.
• Regularly inspect the FRL assembly for any signs of damage or wear and replace any parts as necessary.

How to choose the right size of Arrow Pneumatic desiccant dryers?

• Determine the flow rate of the compressed air that needs to be dried. This will help you choose the appropriate size of the desiccant dryer for your needs.
• Install the desiccant dryer in your compressed air system. This usually involves connecting the inlet and outlet ports of the dryer to the corresponding ports on your air system.
• Make sure that the desiccant material inside the dryer is fresh and not saturated with moisture. If it's not fresh, you may need to replace the desiccant or regenerate it if the dryer has a regeneration cycle.
• Turn on the compressed air system and the desiccant dryer. The air will flow through the dryer and the desiccant material will adsorb moisture from the air.
• Monitor the dew point of the compressed air downstream of the dryer to make sure that it's within the desired range. If the dew point is too high, you may need to adjust the dryer settings or replace the desiccant.
• Periodically check the desiccant material inside the dryer, ensuring that it's still effective. If it's saturated with moisture, you'll need to regenerate or replace it.
• Regularly maintain the desiccant dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions, such as cleaning the dryer, replacing filters, or regenerating the desiccant material.
