1-7 What is Desiccant?
Desiccant is a material that attracts and holds (absorbs) water from
the air. The desiccant AEC dryers use is a synthetic crystalline
metal aluminosilicate blended with a clay binder and formed into
beads.
Absorbed water is driven from saturated desiccant by heating it to
a high temperature (reducing desiccant capacity to hold water) and
forcing air through it. This moisture removal process is called
regeneration.
1-8 The Process/Regeneration Cycle
AEC AD dryers have two desiccant beds. While one bed is on-line
in the process air loop, the other is off-line, being regenerated.
