How It Works □ The Process (Drying) Cycle The process blower pulls moist air from the top of the drying hopper. The air passes through the process filter and aftercooler, then into the desiccant wheel, where moisture is removed. The now dry air moves through the optional precooler (if installed) and process heater, where it is heated to the drying temperature selected by the operator. The hot, dry air is delivered to the hopper where a spreader cone evenly distributes the air through the material. ■ The Regeneration Cycle The regeneration blower pulls air through the regeneration filter into...
