Abstract
The purpose of the research is to perform a comparative analysis of compressed air preparation systems on the basis of moisture content. The article discusses conventional and perspective methods for drying compressed air using condensation, adsorption and membrane technologies. The article considers a temperature control system with the required dew point of minus 25°С at the exit under standard conditions, which corresponds to the dew point temperature plus 3 °С at a pressure of 1.0 MPa, or class 4 according to GOST R ISO 8573-1–2016. The main advantages of using advanced technological drying system designs are described, including the design of a modern drier with a rotary adsorber that can reduce the dew point temperature of compressed air to minus 25…30 °С at 1.0 MPa pressure without any losses on the adsorbent regeneration. This research is the first to analyze the applicability of modern adsorption and membrane modules to the launch complex functions. All the air drying designs were considered in this paper in relation to air temperature control systems based on air refrigerators using the I-d hygrometric chart for variable pressures.
