DEVICE FOR DRYING COMPRESSED AIR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: compressed air preparation systems. SUBSTANCE: device includes inlet header-moisture separator, outlet header, additional header - moisture separator divided by tube sheet into two communicated compartments: one compartment which is inlet compartment is brought into communication with inlet header - moisture separator and other outlet compartment is brought in communication with outlet header by means of outlet pipe lines laid inside inlet pipe line; tube sheet is secured on outlet pipe lines. Innovation of invention consists in truncated cone form of outlet compartment of additional header - moisture separator; tube sheet is mounted in larger base of this truncated cone. Outlet compartment is brought in communication with inlet compartment of additional header-moisture separator through lateral taper surface by at least one branch pipe for forming tangential motion of air in outlet compartment. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of drying air. 2 cl, 2 dwg
