Heatless Air Dryer Operation TW SERIES:
Airtek Heatless Dryers remove water vapor from compressed air through a process known as Pressure Swing Adsorption. Pressure dew points ranging from -40OF to -100OF are attained by directing the flow of saturated compressed air over a bed of desiccant. The most commonly used desiccant is activated alumina, a spherical shaped, hygroscopic material, selected for its consistent size, shape and extreme surface to mass ratio. This physically tough and chemically inert material is contained in two separate but identical pressure vessels commonly referred to as dual or twin towers. As the saturated compressed air flows up through the on line tower, its moisture content adheres to the surface of the desiccant. The dry compressed air is then discharged from the chamber into the distribution system. A solid state controller automatically cycles the flow of compressed air between the towers, while the on line tower is drying, the off line tower is regenerating. Regeneration, sometimes referred to as purging, is the process by which moisture accumulated during the on line cycle is stripped away during the off line cycle. As low pressure dry purge air flows gently through the regenerating bed, it attracts the moisture that had accumulated on the surface of the desiccant during the drying cycle and exhausts it to the atmosphere.
