Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is a regenerative desiccant air dryer?
A: A twin-tower system using desiccant to remove water vapor, regenerating one tower while the other dries air.
Q2: What dew point can it achieve?
A: Dew points as low as -70°C, depending on model and operating conditions.
Q3: Difference between heatless and heated types?
A: Heatless uses a portion of dry air for regeneration; heated uses electric or blower heat, reducing purge loss and improving energy efficiency.
Q4: How often should desiccant be replaced?
A: Typically every 1–2 years, with proper pre-filtration extending desiccant life.
Q5: Can it handle high-humidity environments?
A: Yes. It’s designed for high inlet moisture loads and still delivers ultra-dry air.
