<p>A desiccant canister for an air braking system having dual internal air flow paths and means for avoiding localized compression of a molecular desiccant sieve (30) in an inner shell (24) spring-loaded into an outer shell (22). To increase the internal flowpath without increasing the outer size of the canister, a baffle plate (48) is provided within the inner shell (24) to divide the molecular sieve into an outer annular chamber and inner core of roughly equivalent flow dimension. To avoid localized compression of the molecular sieve, the inner shell (24) is spring loaded into the outer shell (22) and cooperates with the sliding baffle plate (48) to effect equilibrium. <IMAGE></p> |
