Desiccant is a material that attracts and holds (absorbs) water from
the air. The desiccant AEC dryers use is a synthetic crystalline
metal aluminosilicate blended with a clay binder and formed into
beads.
Absorbed water is driven from saturated desiccant by heating it to
a high temperature (reducing desiccant capacity to hold water) and
forcing air through it. This moisture removal process is called
regeneration.
AEC AD dryers have two desiccant beds. While one bed is on-line
in the process air loop, the other is off-line, being regenerated.
