I have a question regarding the configuration of a compressed air station that uses waste heat dryers

Thread Content

I would like to ask everyone: in a compressed air station that uses a waste heat regeneration dryer, what is the order of installation for the compressor, the air buffer tank, and the dryer? When a waste heat dryer is used, the air temperature at the outlet of the centrifugal compressor is above 110 degrees; in such cases, is a non-purification buffer tank still installed between the compressor and the dryer? For example, in a compressed air station with 3×260 centrifugal compressors and 2×260 waste heat dryers, the process flow involves connecting the 3 compressors to one main pipe; from this main pipe, three branches extend out to connect to two dryers and one aftercooler. The outlet of the dryers is connected to a purified air buffer tank, which then feeds into the pipeline system, while the outlet of the cooler is connected to an unpurified air buffer tank, which also feeds into the pipeline system. Is this configuration correct? Will there be a strong airflow when the third compressor starts up? Generally, when selecting a mild heat dryer, a buffer tank is installed at the compressor outlet
