When it comes to dryers for air compressors, there are several different types. Each type used depends on the application it is working with and the environment in which it will be used. Here are a few of the types of Air Dryers PA that are commonly used.
* Deliquescent air dryers consist of desiccant tablets that fill a pressure container. The tablets work to absorb moisture that leeches in through a wet inlet. After the moist air is absorbed, it is dried as the desiccant tablets melt away. These types of dryers are most commonly used in environments that are considered harsh and are also great in outdoor settings. The maintenance required is very low, as all that is needed is daily condensation draining and adding desiccant tablets as they are needed. They are a very low-cost option in comparison to other higher-priced methods of compressed air drying.
* Refrigerated dryers rely on three different parts to help them function and chill the compressed air. These are a heater exchange, a refrigerant compressor, and a condensing unit. The chilled water vapor condenses, and the air is then heated as it leaves the compressor which, in turn, lowers the dew point. These types of dryers are most often used in applications such as the processing of food or in machine shops.
* There are also air dryers that consist of membranes that help to dry the air. These work by forcing the air through the membranes where the moisture is caught in the membrane fibers and then swept away by regenerated air. These types of dryers are known as low-flow devices and are most often used in laboratory settings or to create a dry-air atmosphere in cabinet environments.
