Loss Split Flow

The compressed air coming from the compressor gets collected in the after cooler and passes through the pre-filter to a distributor. The distributor passes part of the air through a heater before going to one adsorber for regeneration. This compressed air is then passed through an after cooler for condensation and moisture separator for removal of moisture.

This air is then mixed with the remaining air and passed on to the other adsorber for drying and passes out of the dryer as dry air. The adsorber after regeneration becomes hot and needs to be cooled during the cooling cycle when the heater are switched off. The two adsorbers are switched over automatically on a cycle basis so that when the first adsorber will dry the compressed air the other will be in regeneration mode.
