MDH Series Drying Process
The MDH Series Heatless Regenerative Desiccant Air Dryers employ Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to remove water vapor from ordinary compressed air. The 4-Way Valve directs the wet air into one of the two Desiccant Towers, where nearly all of the water vapor is removed. The ultra-dry air leaving the Desiccant Tower passes through the Outlet Shuttle Valve to the application. A Precision Purge Orifice in the Outlet Shuttle Disk allows a portion of the dry air to be redirected back through the off-ine Desiccant Tower, purging it of the accumulated moisture. The purge air then exits the unit through the 4-Way Valve and Muffler. A Solid-State Timer governs the process by controlling the 4-Way Valve.
This tool will help you size the perfect MDH Series Desiccant Air Dryer for your Compressor Output and Environmental Conditions. Simply enter the data & conditions and you'll be presented with the Part Number for the MDH Series Air Dryer that will work optimally for those conditions. We will also provide Part Numbers for the Filter Kits that were created to match that MDH Series Air Dryer perfectly.
