Abstract
Today, energy conservation is a priority. This is due to the shortage of energy resources, the growth of their cost and global environmental problems. The production of compressed air is a wery costly and power-consuming process. One of the areas of energy saving is to improve the quality of the air preparation equipment, in particular, to increase the energy efficiency of this type of devices such as adsorption dryers for compressed air. Reduction of unnecessary energy losses in this sphere is possible due to the use of innovative technologies. The functioning of the adsorption dryer is associated with the consumption of compressed air, which is consumed during the periodic regeneration of the adsorbent. The practical value of the research includes an explanation of the regularity of the influence of the temperature drop, at which the adsorbent regeneration process takes place, on the reduction of the airflow loss during the proceedings of the dryer.
Highlights
Dehumidifiers with a hot regeneration of the adsorbent are currently the most economical means of producing dried air
The main attention of developers of a drying equipment with a hot regeneration is focused on the problems of the heat energy recovery, which is used in the desorption process
The presented work shows the possibility of achieving the goal of reducing energy costs by using the energy of microwave radiation during the regeneration of adsorbents of compressed air dehumidifiers
Summary
Dehumidifiers with a hot regeneration of the adsorbent are currently the most economical means of producing dried air. The development and the design of this type of equipment is the most crutial in improving the energy efficiency of an industrial production. The main attention of developers of a drying equipment with a hot regeneration is focused on the problems of the heat energy recovery, which is used in the desorption process. The use of alternative types of energy can become a serious alternative to traditional technologies of regenerating adsorbents. The present study is devoted to the study of the effect of microwave energy on the temperature rising of the adsorbent’s desorption process. This has been studied in terms of increasing the energy efficiency of the mentioned process
