2 Operation

The function of the dehumidifier is to remove moisture (in 
the vapor state) from an air stream. This is accomplished 
by exposing the air to an adsorbing media (desiccant) in 
a sealed air stream (process). After the desiccant has 
adsorbed moisture, it is exposed to a second air stream 
at an elevated temperature (reactivation). This causes 
the moisture to be driven out of the desiccant preparing it 
for more moisture adsorption. This process is done on a 
continuous basis, providing a constant drying process.
The two air streams (process and reactivation) are separated 
by seals, which contact the desiccant media. Figure “A” 
illustrates the relationship of the seals and airflow pattern.
The dehumidifier is designed with the two air streams flowing 
in opposite directions (counter flow) thereby maximizing the 
energy efficiency of the equipment.
