Adsorption working principle TTR Air Dryer

Silica gel is used as adsorbent material. This is a high-quality fiber honeycomb, which has a large absorption of moisture from the air, but at the same time and release of moisture. 
It is made in the shape of the rotor, ie. The wheel.

The rotor has a horizontal air passages resulting in a high surface area through which the air and the maximum contact between the air and passing the material to be dried.

The moisture from the process air (A), through the inlet rotor that is constantly turning and absorb moisture to yourself, so that dry air (B) out of the rotor.

Regeneration air (C), at the same time also passes through the rotor and leaves the rotor as dry air.Immediately after the rotor section with the heating elements (E), is heated to the required temperature and returns both dry and warmed up through a channel that dries the rotor. So hot and dry air passing through the rotor absorbs the moisture held by the rotor previously collected, and leaves it as humid air (F), the rotor remains dry.

Both, the aforementioned process, the adsorption and regeneration take place constantly and in parallel, such that air is continuously dried. The rotor is not consumed. The chemical stability of silica gel guarantees that water vapor or water do not destroy the rotor. Slight contamination eg. (Dust), reduce the quality of the rotor and its dehumidifying capacity. The rotor is easily washable and does not require skilled people coming from Trotec service, except in extreme cases. To be cleaned rotor regain the full effect, with warm water or a mild cleaning agent, rinse it.Then no need for re-impregnation or other procedures on the rotor ..
