Abstract
An apparatus and method for a gas drying system includes a recuperator section having first and second fluid flow paths wherein fluid flowing through the first fluid flow path is in thermal communication with fluid flowing through the second fluid flow path. A refrigerated section having a third fluid flow path is in fluid communication with the first fluid flow path for further cooling the flowing fluid to about a dew point temperature. A moisture separator section is disposed between the recuperator and refrigerated sections, the assembled sections forming an integral construction, wherein the separator is in planar contact with the recuperator and refrigerated sections. The separator has a fourth fluid flow path in fluid communication with the third fluid flow path and the second fluid flow path for removing condensed and entrained liquid from a stream of flowing fluid prior to fluid flowing into the second fluid flow path.
