Abstract
Multistage adsorption drying with zeolite is experimentally evaluated for a single- and a two-stage dryer. For a 1:1 ratio between air flows for drying and regeneration, the energy efficiency for a single-stage system 50–54% and for the two-stage system 63%. Calculations with a calibrated model show that the two-stage system achieves a 4:1 ratio between the air flows an efficiency of 85%, 12% above that of a single-stage system. A sensitivity analysis shows the influence of operational conditions on the energy efficiency. Options to realize multistage adsorption dryer systems and to control such systems as well as the economic aspects are discussed. Keyword Adsorption; Drying; Energy efficiency; Regeneration; Zeolite
