Air dryer

An air dryer plant is a facility that produces compressed air that is free of moisture and other contaminants. Compressed air is commonly used in a wide range of industrial applications, from powering pneumatic tools to operating complex machinery.

When air is compressed, the moisture present in the air condenses and collects in the compressed air system. This moisture can cause corrosion, reduce the efficiency of pneumatic tools, and even damage the equipment.

An air dryer plant helps to remove the moisture and other contaminants from compressed air to ensure that it is clean and dry. The process of drying compressed air typically involves passing the compressed air through a desiccant material or refrigeration system to remove the moisture.

In addition to removing moisture, air dryer plants can also remove other contaminants such as oil, dirt, and particles. This ensures that the compressed air is of the highest quality and meets the specific requirements of various industrial applications.

The process of removing moisture from compressed air involves several stages, including pre-filtration, refrigeration, and desiccant drying. The pre-filtration stage removes oil, dust, and other contaminants from the air, while the refrigeration stage cools the air to condense and remove a significant amount of moisture. Finally, the desiccant drying stage uses materials such as activated alumina or silica gel to absorb any remaining moisture.
