Gardner Denver DPB Series - Externally Heated Blower Purge Desiccant Dryer
Blower Purge Desiccant Dryer
Significantly reduce the energy costs associated with achieving a reliable -40°F (-40°C) pressure dew point. This is achieved by eliminating or reducing purge air requirements (compressed air utilized to regenerate desiccant beds) typical of other desiccant dryer designs.

Product Description
Standard Air Drying & Filtering Process
■ Compressed air is prefiltered prior to the desiccant dryer by a 1 micron solid particle particulate filter and then by a oil removal filter [to 0.008 ppm (0.01 mg/m³)].
■ The wet, compressed air now enters the bottom of Tower 2 of the two dual towers filled with a bed of activated alumina desiccant through the inlet switching valve A. Inlet switching valve B is closed. Inlet valves A and B are butterfly valves with double acting actuators.
■ The activated alumina adsorbs the moisture in the compressed air as the air flows up-ward through Tower 2. Upflow drying protects the bed from water and heavy contaminants by separating them from the air stream as they enter the tower. Cleanable, stainless steel, flow diffusers on the inlet and outlet of the tower ensure even flow distribution through the bedwhich avoids channeling.
■ The dry air exits the dryer through outlet check valve F. A FHT Series High Temperature afterfilter filters desiccant dust particles to 1 micron in size at the dryer outlet.
