Abstract
A pressure swing adsorption air dryer system and method is described herein. In some embodiments, the air dryer system receives moist air and dries the air using a desiccant in a pressure swing adsorption method. The resulting dry air may be used as a working fluid for an application and a portion of the dry air may be used to aid in regenerating, or removing moisture from a desiccant. Sensors are strategically placed throughout the air drying system to measure the state of the air. The air and airflow may be controlled throughout the system based on the sensor measurements.
