Abstract

See full text

A method for controlling an adsorption dryer for the treatment of compressed gas includes vessels therein and a valve arrangement for selectively feeding upstream compressed gas to, and outputting dried downstream compressed gas from, the vessels. Compressed gas is fed to at least one of the vessels in a process phase for drying the compressed gas through liquid adsorption by the desiccant bed and removing the adsorbed liquid from the bed in the vessels in a regeneration phase. An ambient value occurring outside both the vessels and downstream compressed gas output is measured. Additional steps include determining a characteristic value based on the measured ambient value, matching the value to criteria associated with stored regeneration phase parameter settings, determining a regeneration phase parameter setting based on the matching of the value, and applying the parameter setting to the regeneration phase for setting a parameter of the regeneration phase.
