The Hybrid adsorption compressed air dryer, with a dew point of up to -100°C, ensures the highest reliability and safety for applications that require completely dry compressed air.

Adsorption is a physical-chemical phenomenon in which water molecules in the gaseous state are attracted to and retained on the surface of an adsorbent material.

After some time, this surface becomes saturated, requiring regeneration.To allow adsorption and regeneration to be a continuous process, the Hybrid adsorption dryer has two towers filled with adsorbent material.

While one tower adsorbs water molecules, the other tower is in regeneration, with air flows in opposite directions. A system of valves and electronic control directs the flows and determines the times of adsorption and regeneration.

The Hybrid adsorption dryer provides compressed air with a dew point from -40°C to -100°C and an absolute humidity of 0.0104gH2O/kgAr to 0.00001gH2O/kgAr.

There are five regeneration alternatives, according to the application's needs: Heaterless, Vacuum Assisted, Internally Heated, Externally Heated, and Blower Purge.

Another differential of the Hybrid adsorption compressed air dryer is the exclusive use of Hybrid HD, a hybrid adsorbent material of activated alumina and molecular sieve with very high capacity for retaining water vapor molecules, both at low and high relative humidity rates.
