Abstract:
This paper presents the results of an experimental study of mass transfer at air drying by adsorption on silica gel or zeolite grains, in fixed bed. Moist air at different temperatures, flow rates and relative humidity values was used. The process efficiency was established by gravimetric determination of the moisture retained by the solid material or by measuring the air humidity at the exit of the layer, respectively. The pressure loss through the fixed bed was also measured.
