Оценка влагоемкости силикагеля для обеспечения безопасной эксплуатации пневматических систем

Abstract

An analysis of main methods for silica gel water capacity determining has been presented. A new method of silica gel water
 capacity’s experimental evaluation in pneumatic systems’ operating conditions has been developed. Bases of fundamental
 method for constant humidity assurance of compressed air used for silica gel water capacity evaluations have been
 revealed. A description of a test bench for this fundamental method practical realization has been presented. A technique
 for experimentation with proposed method’s different modifications has been described. Measurement error estimation
 has been performed. Experimental results of finely porous silica gel water capacity evaluation in static conditions and in
 absorption process’s different parameters while using this method have been presented. These results’ correlation between
 similar data obtained by other methods has been carried out. Analyses results’ statistical processing has been carried out
 and it has been shown that a packed density of finely porous silica gel can be considered only as the indirect and qualitative
 characteristic of its water capacity which isn´t allowing to provide the necessary accuracy of quantitative estimates for
 pneumatic systems’ operation safety assurance.
