As is well known, desiccators are energy-consuming devices, and almost all of the energy consumption occurs during the regeneration phase. Through the “energy accounting” of the machine, it is possible not only to list the various “income and expenditure items” of energy during the regeneration process, but also to quantify them with sufficient precision. In fact, once the operating conditions are determined, the regeneration energy consumption required for various types of dryers is essentially fixed as well. How much energy does an adsorption dryer consume? The regeneration energy consumption of twin-tower adsorption dryers is typically around 15%, while that of modular adsorption dryers is usually below 8%. The regeneration energy consumption of core-type adsorption dryers is below 5%. Among all adsorption dryers, the heated type has slightly lower energy consumption for regeneration compared to the heat-free type. Generally speaking, the energy consumption required for regenerating various types of dryers is quite high – the cost associated with electricity usage during their operational life will far exceed the initial purchase price of the equipment. As a result, it is said that the amount of energy needed for regeneration determines the practical value of such adsorption devices. On the other hand, the purpose of using adsorption dryers is to obtain compressed air with a low dew point; the lower the dew point of the output gas, the higher the energy cost required. In this sense, the notion that \"the lower the dew point, the better\" should be discarded when making a selection; in places where freeze-dryers (with a pressure dew point of over 2°C) can be used, employing adsorption dryers is inevitably a waste. Where compressed air with a low dew point is required, adsorption dryers must be used (with a pressure dew point of -20 to -70°C). The Betten core dryer and high-efficiency precision filters not only provide the technical basis for completely eliminating issues such as water, oil, and dust in compressed air, but also reduce energy consumption compared to traditional purification equipment. The heat-free model requires 5% of recycled gas, while the mild-heat model needs only 2% of recycled gas, **reducing the energy consumption and production costs for enterprises.
