Air drying issue at the inlet of the Roots blower
Thread Content
Whenever summer arrives, especially during rainy periods, the air humidity can exceed 60%, which has an impact on the performance of the equipment. I was wondering if any of you experts have any good suggestions for installing a drying device on the inlet pipeline of the Roots blower, in order to reduce the air humidity to below 30%. The flow rate of this Roots blower is 2000 m³/h. It would be ideal if the cost of such a drying device isn’t too high, and its maintenance costs are also low. Thank you very much.
Generally, there is no practice of importing dried air; a aftercooler and an air-water separator can be added after the Roots blower
Thank you. Would adding a aftercooler or a separator be sufficient to achieve dry air?
Adding a aftercooler can only remove a portion of the water from the compressed gas; to truly dry the gas, a refrigerated dryer is required
Just add a cycle drying system at the back
It remains the issue of cooling in front of or behind the machine; the expert arpcd already provided an answer in the post “Examples of Design Solutions for Dehumidifying Combustion Air”.
