 Operation

Figure 6.4: Stage 1: Left Tower Purging, Right Tower Drying

• 

After an initial 40 second delay the left solenoid is energized and therefore switches spool position releasing the compressed air behind the exhaust shuttle. 
This allows the left exhaust shuttle to open allowing air to rush from the left tower out of the silencer as it depressurizes. For 120 seconds, a bleed of dry air 
from the outlet of the on-stream (right) tower is directed through the left purge orifice and down through the left tower to regenerate the off-stream (left) 
desiccant bed.
