Desiccant air dryers are used to remove moisture from compressed air systems. They work by passing the compressed air through a container filled with a desiccant material, which absorbs the moisture in the air. The dry air is then released from the container and passed on to the compressed air system.
Desiccant air dryers are used in a variety of applications where it is important to maintain low levels of moisture in the compressed air, including pneumatic systems, air compressors, and air-powered equipment.
There are two main types of desiccant air dryers: regenerative and heatless. Regenerative air dryers use a process of alternating the use of two desiccant containers to achieve continuous drying, while heatless air dryers use a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process to remove moisture from the air.
Desiccant air dryers are designed to provide a low pressure drop, ensuring efficient operation and minimizing energy consumption. They are also designed to be easy to maintain, with readily accessible desiccant containers that can be easily replaced.
In conclusion, desiccant air dryers are an important component in compressed air systems, providing reliable and efficient removal of moisture to ensure proper operation of air-powered equipment.
KXC series Heat of compression(HOC) air dryer provides the most cost effective way to remove moisture from compressed air. It recovers the heat that’s generated during the air compression process , HOC dryers provide users with clean, dry air for a cost that is far less than that other desiccant or refrigerated dryers. The purge loss of heat of compression dryer is 1% or zero purge. Heat of compression dryer is usually suitable for large flow centrifugal air compressor from 65 -510m3/min ,outlet pressure dew point is --20~40°C.
