Did you buy the wrong type of compressed air dryer?

Do you have a desiccant compressed air dryer in your plant? Yes? Do you know the annual running cost of that dryer? It's plugged into a power socked, so it probably uses a bit of electricity… and you need to replace the desiccant every so many years. Right? True! But for many types of desiccant air dryers, there's a hidden cost… and it is substantial! In fact, the yearly cost will probably SHOCK you! The culprit? Purge air! Purge air is air that is used to regenerate the desiccant. (the desiccant needs to be regenerated every few hours, to remove the water that it previously absorbed). There are 2 main types of desiccant dryers: Heated blower regenerated This type uses an external blower and heater to regenerate the desiccant. It requires only electricity (around 1 kW for every m3/min of compressed air). Purge regenerated This type doesn't use electricity to regenerate the desiccant... Great, right!  No!  It uses precious compressed air!!! This compressed air flow is betwe

Decoding the Duty Cycle Rating of Piston Compressors Selecting the correct air compressor for your application can be a complicated process. Before making a purchase, operators need to specify the quality and amount of air their application requires. Each compressor technology (rotary, piston, centrifugal, etc.) has an optimal flow output, so users should choose compressor technology based on the compressed airflow requirement of their application. Some compressors, like rotary screw and centrifugal, are designed to run continuously at full speed while maintaining peak airflow (defined in cubic feet per minute, or CFM). The motors and cooling systems of these compressors are engineered to run 100 percent of the time without overheating. However, this isn’t true for all compressors. Piston compressors do not have the cooling capabilities to run continuously for extended periods of time. Therefore, each piston compressor must have a specified flow output and pressure, as
