Thanks to all for comments and suggestions regarding my FTS blockage
earlier this summer.
As it turned out, as most people suggested, our air dryer was the problem.
Figuring out that we had one, where it was, and that it wasn't working
took a while. Hidden in a mechanical room that I can't access and
facilities had no clue how it worked- kept telling me it was fine.
Eventually established it was my responsibility to maintain it, despite
campus security being none to agreeable to giving me and the
manufacturer's technician access to the room to remove and replace it!!
Now that the unit has been refurbished it took no time to get the FTS
units cooled back down and we're back to normal operation. I now
understand what a regenerative air dryer is and how it should operate!
Thanks again,
Tara
