Compressed Air dryers are basically used for all type of gas plants including Nitrogen Plants, Oxygen Plants, N2O gas plants, hydrogen gas plants etc. Dryers are mainly used for removing contaminated water & other particles from compressed air. Industrial air dryers includes various method such as refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryers, adsorption dryers and membrane dryers for removing contaminants particularly water from air.
Stages of industrial air dryer includes single or multiple stages which are used to dry the air and other problems associated with the water. Air dryers can be expanded to atmospheric pressure, which immediately drops its dew point by 40° to 50° F. The dew point depends on the temperature & humidity of the air coming into the compressor. Power requirement includes DC power, AC single phase, AC three phase etc.
Features of Industrial Air dryer includes the following :
* Drying capacity,
* Minimum output dew point,
* Motor power, &
* Operating temperature.
Applications of industrial compressed dryers includes the following :
* Replace Nitrogen Bottle
* Lasers optic
* Air Bearings
* Thermal Test Equipment
* Dry Boxes.
* Purge Electrical Boxes
* Process controls
* Fire & sprinklers system
* Chemical packaging.
If compressed air applications are not used properly it might be adversely affected by contaminants, such as water, oil and dirt and results in the following : lower productivity, lower quality, increased maintenance, and higher operating costs.
Types of compressed dryers are as follows :
* Heatless Type
* Heat of Compression (HOC) Type
* Internal Heat Reaction Type
* No Purge Loss Type
* Refrigerant dryers
* Desiccant dryers
