When absolutely dry air is essential
In many applications, absolutely dry air is a must. Instrument air, processes with rapid air expansion, dry powder conveying, ...
Many methods have been devised to dry air but the only efficient way to reduce the risks of water induced problems and to totally remove the water is the adsorption process used in the Atlas Copco BD adsorption dryer.

The reasons why... |
...adsorption drying ?
- the only way to obtain absolutely dry air
- no corrosion, no particles, no product contaminations
|
...silica gel ?
- constant low dewpoint
- the most energy efficient drying agent
- high adsorption capacity
- long lifetime
|
...internal heaters ?
- no energy wasted, radiation heat is used
- heat is where it belongs, no heating-up of valves means longer lifetime
|
...two heaters ?
- half the wear, twice the lifetime
- optimal energy balance
|
...cooling with compressed air ?
- the most efficient reactivation
- guaranteed low dewpoint
- less energy, no water added to the dryer
|
...a full size inlet strainer ?
- less water in contact with desiccant means high efficiency and low energy consumption
- low pressure drop
|
...the air inlet at the bottom ?
- water droplets do not reach the desiccant
|
...PLC controlled operation ?
- safe and reliable operation
- clear indications on dryer status and alarms
- easy to use
|
...pneumatically controlled valves ?
- prevention of valve clogging or failure
- reliable operation
- less maintenance
