Heatless twin-tower regenerative dryers consist of two identical tanks (towers) filled with desiccant. The moist compressed air enters the bottom of the active tower and moisture within the compressed air adsorbs onto the surface of the desiccant.
The air receiver tank is often overlooked when it comes to sizing compressed air systems. Sized properly it can make a compressor run more efficiently.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive energy sources in the plant environment, so it makes sense to conserve it. But some plants lose up to 30% of their compressed air to leakage alone.
Quick exhaust valves are used to increase the actuation speed of cylinders by directly venting the exhaust air at the cylinder port instead of forcing the exhaust through tubing to the valve and through it’s exhaust port.
