What are deliquescent dryers?
Posted on Thu, Apr 28, 2011 @ 02:14 PM
A deliquescent dryer typically consists of a pressure vessel filled with a hygroscopic media that absorbs water vapor. The media gradually dissolves—or deliquesces—to form a solution at the base of the pressure vessel. The liquid must be regularly drained from the vessel and new media must be added. The media is usually in tablet or briquette form. (view Deliquescent Desiccant Tablets in stock)
Deliquescent dryers have no moving parts and do not require electrical power for operation. The most common applications often involve remote, hazardous, or mobile worksites from having no electrical source.
Deliquescent dryers are great for removing water vapor from compressed air, natural gas, and waste gases such as landfill gas and digester gas.
The performance of a deliquescent air dryer, as measured by outlet dew point, is highly dependent on the temperature of the air or gas being processed, with cooler temperatures resulting in better performance.
