DEVICE FOR AIR DRYING Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mining industry; particular, supply to mine workings of conditioned air. SUBSTANCE: device for air drying includes adsorber which consists of body accommodating solid sorbent in form of layers limited by perforated cover, utilizer, collector of solution, and system for supply of moist air and discharge of conditioned air. Perforated covers are connected in pairs to form wavy perforated surface with its projections and depressions oriented in vertical parallel planes. Located above projections is solid sorbent accumulator which is connected with system for loading the accumulator with solid sorbent. Made under projections in the adsorber body are holes for discharge of conditioned air. The device may be furnished with vibrator being in kinematic connection with adsorber body and utilizer body. Depression wavy surface have ports for discharge of impurities from layers of solid sorbent, and utilizer has lattice on which cloth attachment from capillary material is fastened. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 4 cl, 1 dwg
