COMPRESSED AIR DRYER

Tipo Heat Exchangers are the manufacturers of complete range of Heat less Compressed Air Dryer system (drier) and gas dryer system,These Compressed gas and air dryers (driers) find use in majority of Industrial compressed air system and applications. These air and gas dryer (drier) are also offered for High Pressure gas and air drying system and applications. Following is a brief description of the working of these compressed air dryer and gas dryer systems.

Heat less compressed air dryer (drier) is the simplest form of desiccant type gas or air dryer (drier) for achieving a dew point of -40°C for compressed air systems and other gas and air dryer (drier) applications . Process- Wet incoming Compressed air after passing through filterer passes through the slide piston valve assembly and is directed towards chamber I where the compressed air passes upward through the desiccant bed (Activated Alumina or Molecular Sieves ). Compressed Air drying takes place by adsorption. Dry Compressed air from chamber I then passes through the Check valve assembly and then through the after-filter to the application or work area.

While Compressed air is drying in chamber I the desiccant in chamber II where the desiccant has been wetted in the previous cycle is being simultaneously regenerated. The chamber II is depressurised to atmosphere through the purge valve in the downward direction. A portion of the dry compressed air passes through the needle valve / orifice plate through the desiccant and flushes out the desorbed moisture.

When the regeneration is complete, the purge valve is closed and the tower is slowly repressurised to line pressure for a smooth changeover. A drying period of 5 minutes provides an efficient dew point of -40°C or better (at atmospheric pressure ). In regeneration process approximately 60 seconds are required for repressurisation.
