The Doyle Series HP Heatless air and gas dryers are designed for capacities ranging from 10 to 3,000 SCFM and outlet dew points from -40°F to -100°F at line pressure. Standard units are designed to handle saturated inlet air or gas at 60 to 150 PSIG and 40 to 120°F.
Regeneration is accomplished by dry air/gas purge at atmospheric pressure plus a short five (5) minute vessel switching cycle to utilize the heat release from adsorption of moisture on the adsorbent. This process requires no heat for regeneration; however the purge air/gas rate for regeneration is considerably higher than heat reactivated air dryers. Heatless air dryers are normally the most economical selection for use with air cooled compressor aftercoolers where the dryer Inlet air temperature is 110 to 120° F.
The Doyle Series HP Heatless air and gas dryers are most commonly used for Natural Gas, Other Fuel Gas and Process and Instrument Air systems.
To CONSERVE PURGE AIR/GAS, an adjustable flow control system is provided to allow decreasing the purge flow rate when operating at less than the design capacity.
STAINLESS STEEL SCREENS at the vessels inlet and outlet nozzles hold the adsorbent in the vessels.
Each unit has an AUTOMATIC REPRESSURING valve that pressures up the regenerated vessel to protect the adsorbent and prevent temporary loss of downstream pressure. This feature is required with the short five (5) minute switching cycle to prevent rapid break down of the adsorbent particles from the frequent pressure surges.
A PURGE SILENCER is provided to reduce the loud noise associated with depressuring the vessels every five (5) minutes. The silencers are rated to maintain the noise level as 85dBA or less at a distance of 3 feet from the unit.
