Abstract: Drying device including a drying medium with a predetermined number of drying segments which extend adjacently of each other and are associated with at least one opening at each of a first connecting end and a second connecting end, wherein the predetermined number is greater than six and wherein each connecting end includes first and second complementary concentric elements which are rotatable relative to each other round an axis. The openings are provided in the first concentric elements along a rotation ring around the axis. The second concentric elements each delimit at least two channels which open at the position of said rotation ring, so that corresponding channels of the first and second connecting end are connected to each other via the openings and the drying segments in order to allow a first airflow and a second airflow through the drying device.

Abstract: Compressor system provided with a compressor device with at least one compressor element with an outlet for compressed gas, an outlet line connected to this compressor device for the compressed gas, and a dryer connected to said outlet line of the type using a drying agent or desiccant for drying the compressed gas from the compressor system. The dryer is provided with a drying section and a regeneration section with an inlet and an outlet for a regeneration gas. A regeneration line is connected to the inlet of the regeneration section. The regeneration line includes a first heat exchanger for heating the regeneration gas. A secondary section of said first heat exchanger forms a condenser of a heat pump. An evaporator of the heat pump is provided in the compressor system.

Abstract: Compressor installation with a liquid-injected compressor device with a compressor element with an outlet pipe connected to an outlet of the compressor element, with a liquid separator in the outlet pipe which includes an inlet and an outlet for compressed gas and an outlet for separated liquid and with a dryer connected to the outlet pipe which uses a desiccant for drying compressed gas of the compressor device. The dryer is provided with a drying section and a regeneration section with an entry and an exit for regeneration gas. A regeneration pipe is connected to the entry and a heat exchanger is provided in the regeneration pipe with a primary section through which the regeneration gas is guided. A secondary section of the heat exchanger is mounted in the compressor device. The compressor installation is provided with means to regulate the amount of liquid injected in the compressor element.

Abstract: Compressor installation includes a compressor device, a compressor element, a compressed gas outlet, a compressed gas outlet pipe connected to the compressor device, and a dryer connecting to the outlet pipe with a desiccant for drying the compressed gas coming from the compressor device. The dryer includes a drying section and a regeneration section with an entry and an exit for a regeneration gas. A regeneration pipe is connected to the entry of the regeneration section. In the regeneration pipe, a first heat exchanger is provided for heating the regeneration gas. The compressor installation includes a heat pipe with a first end which is in contact with a hotspot at a location in the compressor device where the temperature is higher than the temperature at the outlet of the compressor element and with a second end which is in contact with a secondary section of the first heat exchanger.
