After a significant amount of moisture is adsorbed in the adsorption bed inside one of the cylinders, a drive mechanism rotates the two cylinders to switch positions. Unused cylinders are moved to the adsorption position, while used cylinders are moved to the empty position. During the air drying process, the used desiccant is naturally air-dried, reducing the energy required for heating and depressurization desorption. This solves the problem of common adsorption air dryers where the desiccant needs to be heated and depressurized after adsorbing a large amount of moisture to restore its adsorption capacity and achieve recycling, while consuming a lot of energy during the heating process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air dryer technology, specifically an energy-saving adsorption air dryer. Background Technology

[0002] An adsorption air dryer is a device that removes water vapor from compressed air by selectively adsorbing moisture with an adsorbent. Its working principle is as follows: when humid air passes through a drying tower containing an adsorbent, water molecules are captured by the adsorbent surface, resulting in dried gas. When the adsorbent approaches saturation, a regeneration process restores its adsorption capacity, allowing for recycling. This equipment features high drying efficiency and a low outlet dew point, making it widely used in fields with stringent air humidity requirements, such as electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and pneumatic tool air supply, effectively preventing equipment corrosion and product moisture absorption.

[0003] Utility model patent CN216703887U discloses an energy-saving adsorption dryer for compressed air, including a base, a fixed frame, an A tower, a B tower, a connecting pipe, a first detachable valve, an air inlet pipe, a second detachable valve, and an air outlet pipe. The first and second detachable valves are installed between the connecting pipes of the A and B towers. Left and right connecting mechanisms are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the first and second detachable valves. A threaded pipe is threadedly connected to the fixed pipe via a threaded joint. After the threaded joint extends into the fixed pipe, it drives a movable sealing connector to extend through a pushing rod, connecting to the threaded pipe. Multiple sealing connections of the valve body's piping can be achieved by rotating a handwheel, and the connection to the valve body can be disconnected by rotating the handwheel in the opposite direction, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the valve body and providing good sealing performance during installation.

[0004] However, in common adsorption air dryers, the desiccant inside needs to be heated and depressurized after adsorbing a large amount of moisture to restore its adsorption capacity and achieve recycling. This process consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, an energy-saving adsorption air dryer is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
