  • Oil flooded screw compressor system with moisture separation and heated air dryer regeneration, and method
    Patent number: 5087178
    Abstract: Air and oil from an oil flooded screw compressor is directed through an air-oil separator. The air is cooled to extract moisture therefrom. Then the cooled air is fed to a drying tower and from the tower the air, together with hot oil from the air-oil separator, is fed to a heat exchanger which heats the air to a desired temperature for use and cools the oil to a desired temperature for re-use by the compressor. The regenerating portion of the tower communicates with the outlet of the heat exchanger for supplying dry heated air as purge air for efficient regeneration.
