  • Patent number: 6547853
    Abstract: A method for removing moisture from gas containing vapor of a solvent using a dry dehumidifier, includes removing moisture from at least a part of dehumidifier regenerating outlet gas and reusing the dehumidified gas as regenerating gas. Reuse of partial gas on the regenerating outlet side makes it possible to condense efficiently vapor of a solvent contained in exhaust gas as dehumidification is continued, to produce small quantity of high concentration gas thereby, and in case of making removal treatment of vapor of a solvent to miniaturize an apparatus for this purpose as well as to reduce prominently costs required for equipments and others.

  • Patent number: 6332279
    Abstract: A drying device in which temperature and humidity of a gas flow fed into each of plural helical dryers in the form of a cylinder (i.e., temperature and humidity of an exhausted gas flow) can be each controlled independent of the other dryers. The drying device, is equipped with a casing.

  • Patent number: 5188645
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dew point adjustment using dry dehumidifiers wherein fixed dew point adjustment of drying air can be ensured from the time immediately after the start of coating until the establishment of a steady operating state, even if dry dehumidifiers of low control response are used. As a result, air having a fixed dew point can be always sent to a drying apparatus at a low drying cost. Air received from the drying apparatus is dehumidified to a dew point below the desired steady-state dew point, and then humidified to the desired dew point. After steady-state operation is reached, the humidification is discontinued.
