ADS Series - Desiccant dryer
What does an adsorption dryer do?
A compressor takes humidity from the intake air which turns into condensate during the compression process. This will cause wear and corrosion to the downstream equipment, with potential costly interruption to production, and reduction in the efficiency and service life of the equipment used. Adsorption dryers provide a solution to prevent this negative impact.
The Mark ADS adsorption dryers will eliminate water vapour that may potentially condensate in your compressed air system and cause damage. These dryers use an adsorption material called “desiccant” in order to absorb and remove (by regeneration phase) the humidity from the compressed air. With this method we can reach a PDP < 3°C ( -40°C. or -70°C.). This range should also be used when the ambient temperature goes below freezing point, to avoid ice building in pipes and applications. The ADS range is typically used in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industry and whenever a PDP <3°C is requested. Adsorption removes the remaining moisture content in the air that will condense out even downstream of a refrigerant dryer. Its technology ‘simulates’ a temperature reduction down to -40°C to -70°C by attracting and retaining moisture with the desiccant media (moisture freezes at +3°C actual temperature reduction) to condense out the very last water content in the air. The moisture is removed from the air flow to your network and released. Adsorption dryers are recommended for the most demanding applications, where no moisture contamination can be accepted.
Reliability
Wide vessels for optimum air spread and reliable drying
Energy efficient
Compressor and dryer run < 100% load, this results in a significant extension of the drying time and a reduction in purge air consumption
Cleaner air
Eliminate any residual water from the net and ensures air network is protected against rust avoiding leakages
