ADSORPTION TYPE AIR DRYER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240316493 titled 'ADSORPTION TYPE AIR DRYER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
The abstract describes an air dryer system that includes two adsorption towers, each capable of performing either a compressed air dehumidification process or a regeneration process of the adsorbent material within.
- The first adsorption tower can handle dehumidification or regeneration of the first adsorbent.
- The second adsorption tower can handle dehumidification or regeneration of the second adsorbent, based on the operation of the first tower.
- A controller manages the operations of both towers, ensuring efficient performance of the dehumidification and regeneration processes.
Potential Applications: - Industrial air compression systems - HVAC systems - Gas separation processes
Problems Solved: - Efficient air drying process - Reduced energy consumption - Improved air quality
Benefits: - Energy savings - Enhanced air quality - Increased system reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Air Dryer System for Industrial and HVAC Applications This technology can be used in various industries such as manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceuticals to ensure the quality of compressed air and improve overall system efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller optimize the operation of the adsorption towers? - The controller monitors the conditions and switches between dehumidification and regeneration processes as needed to maintain optimal performance. 2. What are the key advantages of using two adsorption towers in the air dryer system? - Having two towers allows for continuous operation and ensures uninterrupted air drying process.
Original Abstract Submitted
an air dryer includes a first adsorption tower configured to perform any one of a compressed air dehumidification process and a regeneration process of a first adsorbent provided therein, a second adsorption tower configured to perform a regeneration process of a second adsorbent or alternately perform a compressed air dehumidification process, in response to an operation of the first adsorption tower, and a controller configured to (i) control the operation of the first adsorption tower for the first adsorption tower to perform either the compressed air dehumidification process or the regeneration process of the first adsorbent and (ii) control the operation of the second adsorption tower for the second adsorption tower to perform either the compressed air dehumidification process or the regeneration process of the second adsorbent.
