    Drying cycle
    The process air enters the dryer through the inlet and is
    directed into the on-line drying chamber via the inlet valves
    and lower manifold.

Energy savings with dewpoint dependent switching (DDS)
energy management system
The energy required to regenerate the off-line desiccant bed in an adsorption dryer is constant, and based upon the
 assumption that the dryer is operating at its full capacity and the desiccant bed requiring regeneration has been fully
 saturated. In reality, a dryer is rarely operating at full capacity all of the time, for example during shift work and periods
 of low demand. Daily and seasonal fluctuations in ambient temperature and humidity also change the moisture
 loading placed upon the dryer.
Under such conditions, at the point in the drying cycle where the air flow is switched from one drying chamber to the
other, there is the potential for drying capacity to remain in the desiccant material about to undergo regeneration. As
the energy used to regenerate this partially saturated bed is based upon the assumption that the bed is fully
saturated, more energy (purge air) is consumed than is actually necessary.
