  • Patent number: 4698072
    Abstract: A space and energy saving adsorber unit comprising two adsorber beds arranged in a common housing. The upper adsorber bed, disposed essentially vertically, is contained by gas permeable vertical walls, thereby permitting gas to be treated in the horizontal direction. The second adsorber bed, located beneath the first bed, slopes downwardly from an upper apex with increasing distance from a vertical central axis and is also enclosed, at least in part, by gas permeable walls. During regeneration of the system where water might be condensed in the bed, the condensate flows out of the bed without damaging the adsorbent.
