Air Dryer Cycle
A single cartridge air dryer cycle is illustrated in Table A.
Table A
The governor turns the compressor on when supply tank pressure
drops below cut-in pressure, between 100 psi and 110 psi
(689-758 kPa) depending on governor settings.
Compressed air passes into the air dryer at the inlet port:
앫
Moisture-laden air and contaminants pass through the
desiccant.
앫
Moisture is retained by desiccant; moisture also collects in the
base of the dryer.
앫
Contaminants are removed as air passes through the desiccant
bed.
The governor turns the compressor off when system reaches
cut-out pressure, between 120 psi and 130 psi (827-896 kPa)
depending on governor settings.
