3 Ways Air Can Be Dried – Industrial Air Dryers

Industrial facilities that need an uninterruptible supply of dry, compressed air install compressed air dryers. These air dryers are indispensable as they prevent moisture which can be detrimental to the pneumatic systems, can cause pipelines to freeze and metallic parts can corrode due to unwanted moisture content.

Looking at its importance, one can expect the market to have different types and brands of Refrigerated Air Dryers in the market. All you need is to understand which one is for you depending on your specific need. A clear understanding of their operations and working characteristics will help you choose as per your requirement.

The Basics

Water vapor or moisture is separated from industrial process air through a process called dehumidifying with the help of a specially designed instrument i.e. a compressed air dryer. 

This process is very simple, humid air is first drawn from the compressor. This raises the temperature, it is further cooled down forming water vapors which are then eliminated from the unit. 

Types

Refrigerated air dryer 

Refrigerated air dryers are easy to maintain and are relatively cost-effective. Hence most commonly used in industrial applications. They don’t need a minimum dew point.

Desiccant-type air dryer

A desiccant material, hygroscopic substances are used in them as a de-humidification agent as they have a high affinity. They can get a low dew point, which makes them apt to colder climates and produce super dry air.

Membrane-type air dryer

A permeable membrane is used. These membranes are similar to nitrogen separation membranes or CO2 separation membranes. Convenient to use, more cost-effective, and they need less maintenance. They can work in low-volume air too.

Working Principle of Refrigerated Air Dryer

Their working principle is similar to that of a refrigerator or an AC. They work on de-humidification by rapidly cooling, condensing, and further draining off the unwanted moisture.

Multitech Sales owns a team of expert engineers and delivers air dryers designed to international standards. These products are made of high-quality material and serve longer.
