RPX Technologies DryBot Automated Engine Dehydrator Kit With Adapter A / USA Plug

October 4, 2024

I ordered mine directly from the company after calling to ensure that they were in stock. I emailed them with 2 additional questions and received prompt and helpful answers. Set up was easy and quick. There was plenty of tubing to reach up to the oil filler of the Lycoming IO-360 in my DA40. The attachment seems air tight. I used a little tape to secure the tubing to the cowling and then turned it on. I didn’t remove the cowling. An indicator light is indicating normal function. and there is another indicator light if abnormalities occur. The dipstick is removed and I stored mine in a new plastic garbage bag. The unit itself is a real “black box.”. None of the internal mechanism is visible. So far so good.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce Australia's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce Australia assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: What power source is required, I see a cord with no prongs on it?

It can take 110 VAC / 220-240 VAC (50/60 Hz).

Q: Product is listed "WITH ACCESSORIES" however when adding to cart you are given the option to purchase an adapter. Is that in addition to one that it is already included?

We have updated the page. One adapter is included with the kit purchase.

Q: Does the DryBot filter the air that is pumped through the engine?

The DryBot treats the air and filters the air prior to it being introduced into the engine. This way we can be sure clean air with the desired humidity level is achieved before it gets to the engine.

Q: When the desiccant needs replacement can the customer perform the replacement or does the unit need to be shipped back to the manufacturer?

Per RPX: The DryBot will get years of use out of the desiccant but when it does need to be changed it will need to be shipped back to our facility in Oklahoma. At this time, DryBot will also update any firmware that might be available. We will also do preventative maintenance on the kit prior to shipping back to them.
