1. INTRODUCTION
ZEKS Hydronix™ Heatless Desiccant Dryers are designed to adsorb moisture from
compressed air. The dryers are constructed with two towers, each containing desiccant
beads, that alternate between online (drying) and offline (regenerating) modes, yielding a
continuous stream of dry air at the dryer’s outlet.
During normal operation, wet compressed air passes through the online tower and water
vapor present in the air is adsorbed (collected) on the desiccant beads. While air is being
adsorbed in the online tower, the moisture accumulated on the desiccant in the offline
tower is removed by a process called desorption (regeneration). After an initial rapid
depressurization, a portion of dried air from the online tower passes through the desiccant
bed, carrying the moisture off the beads and out the dryer’s exhaust.
The continuous, alternating process of adsorption and desorption is controlled using a
timer that switches the towers in a specific timed sequence. Very dry compressed air dew
points are achieved through the continuous switching and operation of this dryer. ZEKS
offers dryers to provide outlet air with either -40°F, -80°F or -100°F pressure dew point.
