Abstract

A flow-reversing, regenerative, desiccant air dryer system absorbs moisture, oil droplets, and carbon particles from the incoming air during compression in a compressed air system. Once sufficient air pressure has been attained in an air pressure reservoir, control valves direct the flow of atmospheric-pressure air, heated by passing through the warm compressor cylinder, in a reverse direction through the air dryer. The reverse flow of heated, atmospheric pressure air both purges the trapped oil, carbon particles, and condensed liquid water and removes the moisture from the desiccant.
