What is desiccant?
Desiccant is a material that attracts and holds (absorbs) water from the air. The desiccant our
dryers use is a synthetic crystalline metal aluminosilicate blended with a clay binder and
formed into beads.
Absorbed water is driven from saturated desiccant by heating it to a high temperature
(reducing desiccant capacity to hold water) and forcing air through it. This moisture removal
process is called regeneration.
The Process/Regeneration Cycle
Our dryers have two desiccant beds. While one bed is on-line in the process air loop, the
other is off-line, being regenerated.
When a desiccant bed is on-line, it absorbs moisture from the process air. In time, the bed
becomes saturated with moisture and needs to be regenerated. The dryer automatically
redirects the process airflow to the second bed, and starts the regeneration cycle on the first
bed.
During regeneration, the dryer system heats air and forces it through the desiccant bed. The
moisture driven off the bed bleeds to the atmosphere.
