Heatless dryers are a type of compressed air dryer used to remove moisture from compressed air systems. These dryers operate without the use of external heat, making them energy-efficient and suitable for various industrial applications. Here are some details about heatless dryers:
Operating Principle:
Heatless dryers operate based on the principle of pressure swing adsorption (PSA). They use desiccant materials (typically activated alumina or molecular sieves) to adsorb moisture from the compressed air.
General Manufacturing: Heatless dryers are used in manufacturing processes where moisture can impact product quality and damage pneumatic equipment. Instrumentation and Control Systems: Compressed air used in sensitive instrumentation and control systems must be free from moisture to prevent malfunctions. Food and Beverage Industry: In applications where compressed air comes into contact with food or beverages, moisture removal is essential to maintain product quality.
