The Doyle Series EP air and gas dryers are designed to provide the most economical adsorbent type dryer for capacities in the range of 20 to 3,000 SCFM where low outlet dew points are required. Gases can be dried to -40°F and lower dew points.

Reactivation is accomplished by air/gas purge at atmospheric pressure which provides the greatest driving force for removal of moisture from the adsorbent. Internal electric heaters are utilized to increase the adsorbent temperature to allow removing the moisture with a lower purge rate, reducing the loss of valuable product gas. Heating the adsorbent during reactivation allows the adsorbent to stay on stream for four (4) hours or longer, and efficiently utilize the capacity of the adsorbent. This process gives the lowest operating and maintenance costs for most air and gas dryer applications.

The Doyle Series EP air and gas dryers are most commonly used for Natural Gas, Process and Instrument Air, CO2 and Hydrogen applications.

To CONSERVE ENERGY, temperature controls are provided to cut the electric heaters "off" and "on" during the reactivation period using only the required electrical power.* Optional reactivation temperature switch package is also available to CONSERVE ENERGY when operating at less than design capacity.

Electric heaters have INCOLOY SHEATH elements and low watt density to provide a LONG HEATER LIFE. The temperature controls mentioned above are located to provide additional protection against over-heating and heater burn-out in case air flow is lost.* Heater elements are flanged immersion type in a pipe separate from the adsorbent which allows easy heater removal without dumping the adsorbent.

The adsorbent is supported in the vessels by a SUSPENDED BED (Models EP3-80 to EP3-360) above the hot reactivation gas inlet to provide complete reactivation of the adsorbent at the exit end of the adsorbent during drying. This is required to obtain the low outlet dew point performance of -40°F at line pressure or lower.

* The Models EP1-40 & EP1-60 have no temperature controls. These are the two smallest units which have low KW 120 volt heaters.
