HOW IT WORKS
Filtered compressed air enters on-line desiccant-filled, drying Tower 1 through valve (A). Up-flow drying
enables the desiccant to strip moisture from the airstream. Clean, dry compressed air exits through (E) to F

feed the air system. Tower 2 (shown in regeneration mode) valve (B) closed, depressurizes to atmosphere
TOWER TOWER
through muffler (C). Valves (D & F) open and the heater turns on. The high-efficiency blower draws ambient 1 2

air and feeds it through the heater. The ambient airstream passes through valve (F) and flows downward
through the moist desiccant in Tower 2, collecting water vapor before exiting valve (D). Once the desiccant
is fully desorbed, the heater turns off. Valves (F & D) close and Tower 2 is repressurized. At a fixed time A B D

interval, valve (B) will open and Tower 2 will be placed on-line to dry the airstream and valve (A) will close. C

Operations will switch and Tower 1 will be regenerated.
