Tips: Due to the wide variety of air dryer, it may not be possible to display them all on the website. If you need any, please contact us by email or phone.

The Heated Air Dryer for Compressed Air System 100m3/min operates on the principle of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) combined with heated regeneration using ambient air.

Working Principle:

1.Adsorption Process: Wet compressed air enters the adsorption tower through the inlet valve and flows upward through a bed of desiccant material (such as activated alumina or silica gel). The desiccant selectively adsorbs moisture, oil vapors, and contaminants, delivering dry air out of the tower.

2.Regeneration Process: While one tower is adsorbing, the other is regenerated. A blower draws ambient air, which is then heated by an electric heater. This hot, dry air is passed through the saturated desiccant bed in the opposite direction (top-down). The heat lowers the water vapor partial pressure, desorbing the moisture from the desiccant. The moist regeneration air is then vented to atmosphere.

3.Cooling Process: After the heating phase, the system may use a portion of dry air or continue with ambient air (unheated) to cool the desiccant bed, preparing it for the next adsorption cycle and preventing thermal shock.

4.Cycle Switching: The functions of the two towers are automatically switched at predetermined cycles (e.g., every 4 hours), ensuring a continuous supply of dry air. The switching is controlled by a programmable PLC system that manages the valves, heater, and blower.

1.Blower Purge System

Utilizes a blower for regeneration air instead of valuable product compressed air, drastically reducing energy consumption and operating costs compared to heatless or minimal-heat dryers.

2.Optimized Desiccant Bed

Features a large-capacity desiccant bed with a structured distribution system and anti-impact baffles to ensure uniform airflow, prevent channeling, and extend desiccant life.

3.Efficient Heating System

Equipped with high-performance stainless steel heating elements and heat exchangers for effective and corrosion-resistant heating.

4.High-Quality Valves

Employs reliable pneumatic or electric actuated valves (like double-eccentric butterfly valves) for seamless and leak-free switching between cycles, ensuring long service life.

5.Integrated Air Filtration

Includes a multi-stage inlet filter (e.g., cyclone, coalescing, and mesh filtration) to protect the desiccant from liquid water and oil contamination, which is crucial for maintaining adsorption capacity and achieving a low dew point.

1.Food & Beverage Industry

Protecting sensitive processes from moisture and ensuring air quality meets safety standards for direct contact (e.g., packaging, mixing). Requires oil-free air.

2.Electronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing

Preventing moisture damage during circuit board assembly, semiconductor fabrication, and other precision processes where even tiny amounts of water can cause defects.

3.Chemical & Petrochemical Plants

Supplying dry air for instrument control systems (pneumatic valves, controllers), catalyst regeneration, and processes where moisture can cause corrosion or adverse chemical reactions.

4.Telecommunications

Providing dry air for pressurizing cable and waveguide systems to prevent internal corrosion and signal degradation.

Step 1: Before starting, make sure that the intake air temperature is below 45°C and the pressure is within the range of 0.6-1.0 MPa to avoid damage.

Step 2: Turn on the Heated Air Dryer for Compressed Air System 100m3/min power; the automatic control system starts the drying cycle and switches the drying tower every 4-8 hours according to the load.

Step 3: Monitor the dew point through the controller display; if there is a deviation, check the desiccant saturation and heater function.

Step 4: In terms of maintenance, replace the desiccant every 3-5 years and check the blower every year to ensure optimal performance. Please be sure to abide by local safety regulations during operation.
