Abstract
In some critical use, air-drying systems, 100% back-up capability is desired. The problem has been that an idle standby unit requires considerable time to reach full capability for dry air delivery. This invention bleeds enough dry air from the operating primary unit through parts of the idle back-up unit to maintain any dynamic conditions that are necessary to keep the standby unit ready for immediate use in the event of a failure of the primary unit.
