VRa Vacuum Regenerated Air ryer 7 bar SATURATE COMPRESSE AIR -1800 mm H20 At normal operating temperature in the online tower, water vapor adheres to the silica gel desiccant so that only dry air leaves the outlet. A blower draws fresh air through an electric heater to raise the temperature in the offline tower and releases the adsorbed water vapor. ONLINE FRESH AIR HEATER BLOER ET EXHAUST AIR RY REPRESS AIR -40ºC PP OFFLINE CLEAN RY AIR In conventional blower purge dryers, ambient air is not used to cool the desiccant bed because too much moisture is re-adsorbed from the air. This pre-loads the bed and affects dew point performance in the next cycle. esiccants adsorb a lot of moisture at high pressure and none under deep vacuum. This is the basis of pressure swing adsorption used in heatless designs. The Vacuum Regenerated technology exploits this phenomenon: ambient air is drawn through the bed, creating a partial vacuum inside the tower. The pressure difference appears small compared to a conventional blower purge dryer, but it is enough that the desiccant adsorbs very little moisture during cooling. The VRA dryer design has zero purge loss because it does not use any compressor capacity for regeneration heating or cooling. Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Climate change has become a major issue for mankind. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are responsible for this change. For industry, the carbon footprint measured as tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) is the term used to quantify and represent the total amount of GHG produced as a result of commercial or industrial activities. By choosing energy efficient dryer products, companies can considerably impact GHG emissions. In the United States, electricity companies produce on average 1.36 lbs of GHG emissions per kh produced. A 2000 SCFM Heatless ryer will indirectly, through its energy consumption, be responsible for the production of 390 tons of CO2e per year. The equivalent Vacuum ryer will indirectly generate 207 tons of CO2e per year. A net GHG reduction of 183 tons per year. Businesses that adopt energy-conscious practices today are building a more successful future for themselves, and a healthier future for the world. 11
