Moisture-removal apparatus

摘要

This invention provides a pneumatic system moisture-removal apparatus wherein an end surface of an absorbent body is formed as a conical shape. The apparatus includes an end plate approximately perpendicular to the axial direction of the absorbent body fixed on the top portion of the end surface of the cone. A narrow space is located between the end plate and the conical-shaped end surface which serves as a passageway for compressed air. Compressed air is supplied to the apparatus from an outside circumference of the absorbent body to the center in a radial direction. The moisture-removal apparatus includes a honeycomb-type cylindrical absorbent body having a plurality of apertures. Compressed air is communicated into one end surface of the absorbent body in an axial direction. Moisture is extracted as the air passes through the apertures and is discharged from the opposite end surface of the absorbent body.
