<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual cartridge air dryer having an air-oil separator and valves which may be readily changed. <P>SOLUTION: An air dryer system includes two substantially identical canister-type air dryer units 24, 26. Each dryer unit includes a moist air inlet, a first desiccant, a dry air outlet, and a means for supplying dry air to a storage facility. The system also includes a bleed valve 52 supplying a small portion of the dry air to regenerate a second desiccant, and a first moist air purge valve 46. The system is also operable in an opposite mode and supplies air to the storage facility. A pair of air-oil separators 34, 36 are located between the moist air inlet and the desiccant. In this case, upwardly directed air flows through a housing 110, striking a deflector plate, and escapes beneath a vertically extending fence and through vents containing a filter medium. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
