Re-engineered to boost energy efficiency
November 1st 2011 The latest Hi-DRI compressed
air membrane dryers from Hiline
Industries have been reengineered
to achieve new standards
for performance and energy
efficiency. An arrangement of
structurally packed, permeable
hollow fibres spirally wound on a
support core creates a design that
combines efficient air flow with high
contact areas to boost drying
performance.
Products are suitable for in-line
installation to ensure the delivery of
dry compressed air at point of use.
This is said to ensure maximum
effectiveness with virtually any
dewpoint or degree of drying being
achievable. As the humid compressed
air passes through the Hi-DRI unit,
water vapour diffuses through the
walls of the hollow membrane fibres
without loss of compressed air. At
the dryer outlet, a small volume of
the dry air is expanded and released
into the annular space between the
membrane fibres and the outer
aluminium shell. The air purge sweeps
away entrained water vapour to
atmosphere as a humid air stream. More articles from Hi-Line Industries Ltd: |
