Abstract: An outlet flow deflector unit for a pneumatic power tool having a housing with an outlet opening, comprises a cup-shaped rotatable deflector element communicating with the outlet opening and having at least one axially directed opening and one radially directed opening located within a certain angular interval of the deflector element circumference, and a stationary cup-shaped sector element located inside the deflector element and having radial opening locating in a certain angular sector substantially larger than the angular interval of the deflector element opening, and an axially directed outlet port, wherein the deflector element is rotatable to obtain alignment either between the radial openings for a radially directed outlet flow, or between the axial opening and the outlet port for accomplishing an axially directed outlet flow.

Abstract: A method and device for drying a gas by means of adsorption on a desiccant able to be regenerated (11), whereby a portion of the dried gas is used for regenerating the desiccant. The gas portion used for the regeneration is heated in at least two successive steps, said steps being performed in different zones (30,31 or 33-36) situated successively in the flow direction of the gas portion through the regenerating desiccant (11) and by stopping the heating in a zone (30,31 or 33-36) as soon as the desiccant (11) in this zone (30,31 or 33-36) is regenerated, so that this zone (30,31 or 33-36) may already cool down by the gas portion for regeneration while a successive zone (30,31 or 33-36) is still regenerated by the heated gas. In each vessel (7, 8) at least two individually controllable heating elements (25-26; 27-28; 38-41) are present.
