1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PNEUDRI range of compressed air dryers are designed to remove moisture from compressed air by
o
utilising state of the art technology to obtain dewpoints of -40 C, and by appropriate de-rating,
o
-70 C.
The PNEUDRI range of dryers have been designed to require minimal maintenance and can be installed
virtually anywhere.
The PNEUDRI dryer consists of an inlet and an outlet manifold joined together with an aluminium column.
The column has twin internal chambers both filled with desiccant material. During operation one chamber
is on-line (drying) while the other is regenerating, using the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process.
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)
A small percentage of dried air is taken from the dryer output flow and is used to regenerate the saturated
chamber by expanding the dried air from line pressure to atmospheric pressure. During this process, the
moisture is physically removed from the regenerating chamber and vented to atmosphere through the
exhaust silencers.
