Definitions

  • a typical "twin-tower" desiccant-type air dryer includes two drying circuits that are controlled by valves. Wet inlet air flows through one circuit to remove water vapor, while dry product air counter flows through the other circuit to remove the accumulated water and regenerate the desiccant. Inlet and outlet valves for each pneumatic circuit are responsive to controlling electronics to switch the air flow between the two circuits so that one circuit is always drying while the other is regenerating.
  • the air dryer may include a pre- filtration stage with a water separator and/or coalescer positioned upstream of the drying circuits. The pre-filtration stage removes liquid phase and aerosol water and oil that can accumulate in air supply system as a result of the compression of ambient air by the locomotive air compressors.
  • a pre-filtration stage includes a drain valve that is used to periodically purge any accumulated liquid. For example, a typical pre-filtration drain valve actuation cycle might command a purge (open) for two seconds every two minutes.
