6-6 Replacing the Process Heater
SDAP Series dehumidifying dryers use Calrod-type heater elements mounted in a heater tube
located in the top rear of the cabinet. The wattage of the heater varies with model, voltage,
temperature range, etc., but the replacement procedure is the same.
! WARNING !
Disconnect and lock out power before you replace heater elements!
Procedures
1. Remove the bolts securing the process heater access cover.
2. Sketch the heater wiring configuration so you can properly re-wire the heater.
3. Remove the wires to the heater plate assembly being removed or replaced.
4. Remove the bolts securing the heater plate assembly, and slide out the assembly.
5. Remove the heater from the mounting plate by removing the large brass nuts and
washers.
6. Re-install the heater and heater plate assemblies in reverse order. Install new heater
gaskets and securely tighten all fasteners.
