Compressed Air Dryer

Compressed Air Dryer

Saturated compressed air enters to Air to Air heat exchanger, where it is pre-cooled by out going cold dry air. Highly effective Pre- cooler reduces the temperature considerably, and enables to use smaller & economical refrigeration system. Then the pre-cooled, relatively low temperature compressed air enters to Air to Refrigerant heat exchanger, where it is cooled down to +3°C (Pressure Dew Point). At this temperature, moisture in vapour form condensed to liquid form, and separated from the compressed air by moisture separator and discharged to drain port through automatic drain valve. The cold dry compressed air passes back to Air to Air Heat exchanger, and gain temperature by exchanging heat with incoming warm air. The dry air coming out from the dryer is ready to use for instrument and process air applications.

Compressed Air Dryer is one of the essential parts of any compressed air system. The performance and efficacy of the compressed air system is enhanced using high-tech dryers that provide proper functioning required in the process.

Single-tower, deliquescent dryer uses less energy to offer pressure dew point suppression up to 50°F. The estimated power requirement is around 0.2 kW/100 cfm.

Refrigerant-type dryer is one of the most common dryers widely used to attain the pressure dew point up to 39°F. It can easily to provide cycle on and off based performance on air flow that saves power and energy. Around 0.79 kW/100 cfm power is needed.

Twin-tower, desiccant-type dryers are designed to remove the moisture from the air at a pressure dew point of –40°F. In pressure-swing regenerative dryer, the purge air id needed from 10 to 18 % of the dryer’s rating.

Heat-of-compression dryers use the heat generated in the process of compression to achieve desiccant regeneration.

Membrane-type dryers are available without moving parts to attain dew points of 40°F. They are available with a range of advantages from low installation cost to heavy-duty design that make them perfect to be used outdoors. In addition to this, they can also be used in hazardous atmospheres. The total power requirement of these dryers is 3 to 4 kW/100 cfm.
 
How To Select a Dryer?

The compressed air dryer should be selected on the basis of essential pressure dew point as well as cost of operation. When less than 35°F pressure dew point is necessary, a refrigerant-type dryer cannot be used. The pressure drop of 3 to 5 psi is attained through a compressed air dryer and must be taken into account in the arrangement requirements.
 
Efficiency of Dryer Part Load:

Load efficiency of air dryer is one of the important factors to onside while assessing its performance. It is subject to part loaded circumstances where the flow, temperature and pressure are lower than the rated moisture loading. Some dryers convert their energy consumption and save on operating costs. On the other hand, some determines the turn down of a refrigerated dryer.
