Abstract: Device for drying gas includes a dryer with a vessel which has at least three compartments at a first axial end of a rotor rotatably disposed in the vessel, the rotor arranged for conduction of at least three gas flows, including a main flow, a regeneration flow and a cooling flow, respectively. A first compartment of the vessel has an outlet for said main flow, a second compartment has an inlet for the cooling flow and a third compartment has an inlet for the regeneration flow. The vessel at the second axial end of the rotor has a first compartment which includes an inlet for the main flow and a second compartment with an outlet for the cooling flow and the regeneration flow.

Abstract: Compressor installation including a compressor and a dryer which are mutually connected via a pressure pipe. The dryer includes a housing with a drying zone and a regeneration zone, and a rotating drum with a drying agent. The regeneration zone includes a first subzone and a second subzone. Two regeneration conducts connect to the pressure pipe, respectively a first regeneration conduit which connects to an inlet of the first subzone and through which compressed gas having a first temperature is guided, and a second regeneration conduit which connects to an inlet of the second subzone. The second regeneration conduit has a heating element for heating compressed gas flowing through the second regeneration conduit to a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: Method for drying gas coming from a compressor (2), which is directed through a drier (5) of the type which consists of an air receiver (6) and a drying element (9) in the form of a rotor in which has been provided an adsorption and/or absorption medium (10) which is alternately guided through a drying zone (7) and a regeneration zone (8) of the air receiver (6), whereby during periods of standstill or of idle running of the compressor (2) a gas flow is guided counterflow through the adsorption and/or absorption medium (10) in the drying zone (7), i.e. in a flow direction (P) from the outlet (22) to the inlet (15) of the drying zone (7).

Abstract: Method for drying a gas from a compressor (1) by means of a drier (2) of the type which consists of a pressure tank (3) with a drying zone (4) and a regeneration zone (5), with a rotor (6) which is composed of a drying element (7) in which has been provided an adsorption and/or absorption medium (8) which is alternately put through the drying zone (4) and the regeneration zone (5), characterised in that at a low load or zero load, the inlet of the regeneration zone (5) is connected to the user network (12) via a regeneration pipe (27), and in that the outlet of the regeneration zone (5) is connected to the atmosphere.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cool-drying, comprising a heat exchanger (1), the primary part of which is the evaporator (2) of a cooling circuit (3) which further comprises a compressor (5) driven by an electric motor (4) being bridged-over by means of a bypass (17) with therein a bypass-closing element (18) and an open/closed closing element (19). The secondary part (1A) of the heat exchanger (1) forms part of a conduit (9) for the gas and, at the outlet of this heat exchanger (1), a liquid separator (11) is disposed. The device comprises means (15) for regulating the speed of the motor (4), which means are controlled by means of a control device (16) in function of the value measured by the measuring means (22, 22A).
