Bach of the do dryers will have two towers, all of which will have ASIC pressure vessel sreaps for 150# design pressure. Each tower will alto have an individual pressure gags and prassura relief valve. The dryers will be aubjeeted to appzoxlaasely 65 pels, full plant sir pressure, following which ebay win be placad - on Automatic cycle, with e small volute discharge to atmssphorc, to regenerate end supply dry sir for the header prassura test.

These systems orlginete at the inatrunaat sir dryers, ubaoce they
run via outsice overhead pipe supports es each of the FAA areas.
The pipe is galvanises A3TM A-53 buttueld with 150# ductile iron
fittings. Design pressure reting is 130#. Bone of the headers
is larger than 2" ips. Project 8648 air heed system includes cn
existing sir receiver. The systems, including the air receiver,
will be leak tested at 13#. than reieod to plant sir pressuxo of
epproxinataly 65 peig. This procedure follows Std. Eng. Spec.
S?U, Paragraph 16.1, `:hieb specifies, "Do not teat hydraulically1'
and BPIS, I'arigraph 8.2.1 accept that soap test pressure rill be
15 peig instead of 25 peig.
