How to choose your adsorbents?

Cold regenerated (heatless) Cold-regenerated dryers (so-called heatless driers) function without heat but with a lot of
compressed air. These pressure swing adsorption dryers require a partial flow of previously-dried air for regeneration. The
changeover takes place after only a few minutes with low water adsorption of less than 1 % by weight of the drying agent.
Due to the high consumption of 12 to 25 % dried compressed air depending on the operating pressure, relatively high
energy costs result during operation.

External heat regenerated (standard) Standard adsorption dryers (externally heat-regenerated) are desorbed with
externally heated fan air like the lowenergy variants. These are used if the demands on the efficiency are not too high. In
contrast to the modern purgeless systems, a partial flow of compressed air (purge air) is normally required for cooling. The
standard of these systems usually includes drying agents which require a significantly higher desorption temperature (170°
to 200 °C.) and a larger quantity of dry regeneration air.
