When selecting a Bendix
®
AD-SP
®
air dryer, note this dryer is intended for servicing low-demand air systems. For example, Line Haul applications
are limited to single tandem axle trailers.
4
Tandem dryers must be matched models (i.e. two Bendix
®
AD-IS
®
or two Bendix
®
AD-9
®
air dryers, etc.). Both dryers must be extended purge
versions.
5
There is no required compressor charge time or purge time. The operation is controlled through the Bendix
®
EverFlow
®
air dryer module.
6
The Bendix
®
AD-9si
™
air dryer is not available in tandem or EverFlow configurations.
