HBP Series Blower Purge Desiccant

Compressed Air Dryers
HBP Series Dryers Produce
100% Efficient Air Systems
HBP Series Dryers produce 100% efficient air systems.
Since 1948, compressed air users have relied on
Hankison to provide compressed air treatment solutions
for applications around the world. HBP Series dryers
improve air system efficiency by the use of a dedicated
axial blower, instead of a percentage of dehydrated
purge air, to regenerate the off-line desiccant tower.
ISO 8573.1 Class 2 (-40°F/-40°C) dew point performance
is guaranteed.

How it Works
E

Filtered compressed air enters on-line desiccant-filled, drying Tower 1 through

F
valve (A). Up-flow drying enables the desiccant to strip moisture from the air
stream. Clean, dry compressed air exits through (E) to feed the air system.
Tower 2 (shown in regeneration mode) with valve (B) closed, depressurizes to TOWER TOWER
atmosphere through muffler (C). Valves (D & F) open and the heater turns on. 1 2

The high-efficiency blower draws ambient air and feeds it through the heater.
The ambient air stream passes through valve (F) and flows downward through
the moist desiccant in Tower 2, collecting water vapor before exiting valve (D).
Once the desiccant is fully desorbed, the heater turns off. Valves (F & D) close A B D

and Tower 2 is repressurized. At a fixed time interval, valve (B) will open and
C
Tower 2 will be placed on-line to dry the airstream and valve (A) will close.
Operations will switch and Tower 1 will be regenerated.

Inlet Flow
Inlet Flow (scfm) capacities shown in the Engineering Data table have been established at an inlet pressure of
100 psig (7kgf/cm2) and a saturated inlet temperature of 100°F (38°C). To determine maximum inlet flow at other
conditions, multiply the inlet flow from the Engineering Data table by the multiplier from Table 1 that corresponds to
your operating conditions.

Dew Point
Outlet pressure dew point at rated inlet conditions of 100 psig (7kgf/cm2) and 100°F (38°C) saturated. Dew
point varies slightly at other conditions. Consult the factory to determine exact outlet pressure dew point at your
operating conditions.
