ADSORPTION DRYER ADX fixed cycle time controlled

Consistently low dew point also with variable
compressed air flow from 0% to 100%.
Comprag ADX adsorption dryers are a highly
efficient solution for dehumidifying compressed air.
They can keep the pressure dew point at -40 °C at
constant pressure. The adsorption dryer comprises
two towers, which contain the optimum amount
of dehumidifying drying agent. Compressed air is
fed into the two towers in an alternating manner
and brought into contact with the drying agent at a
moderate speed, whereby the air is dehumidified.
If the drying agent of the first tower is too moist,
the flow of compressed air switches over to the
second tower, which then takes on the function of
moisture uptake. ADX adsorption dryers feature
high-quality control valves with long service
life. Switching between the drying cycle and
regeneration cycle is controlled electronically with a
switching cycle of 10 minutes.
Performance data according
to DIN ISO 7183:
Working pressure: 7 bar
Compressed air temperature: 35°C
Ambient temperature: 25°C
Pressure dew point: -40°C

Furthermore, a long cycle reduces pressure loss if the working
