Abstract
An advantageous configuration of an adsorption medium in a drying plant is described. At least one cartridge containing the adsorption medium for a gas to be dried is removably disposed in a container of the drying plant. A pressure prevails between the adsorption medium and the cartridge such that the adsorption medium remains stationary in the cartridge, in particular even under changing operating and/or environmental conditions. Using the cartridge enables the adsorption medium to be changed rapidly and safely on site. In addition, the invention ensures a high quality of gas drying, in particular without the added risk of the particles being released. Different cartridges can also be used for different adsorption media and can therefore be optimized to suit the most varied of drying plants.
