Clean Dry Compressed Air

MXS102CDS – MXS108DS

Adsorption Dryers
Whether a compressed air user wants to
control the growth of micro-organisms
(essential for direct and in-direct contact
applications in the food, beverage &
pharmaceutical industries), ensure
air used for critical applications /
instrumentation is free from water
contamination or has external piping
where low ambient temperature can
cause condensation, adsorption dryers
are the go to dryer technology.
There are many different adsorption
dryer technologies available and
whilst they all reduce water from the
compressed air in the same way, they
differ in the way they regenerate the
desiccant material.

Heatless Adsorption Dryers

The simplest and most common method
used to regenerate the adsorbent
desiccant material is the ‘heatless’ Advantages

Product Selection & Correction Factors

For correct operation, compressed air dryers must be sized using for the maximum (summer) inlet temperature, maximum (summer) ambient temperature,
minimum inlet pressure, required outlet dewpoint and maximum flow rate of the installation.
To select a dryer, first calculate the MDC (Minimum Drying Capacity) using the formula below then select a dryer from the flow rate table above with a flow
rate equal to or above the MDC.
Minimum Drying Capacity = System Flow x CFIT x CFAT x CFMIP x CFOD
