    Abstract: An air drying system includes drying devices, each including an intake port and an exhaust port, measuring devices installed on respective exhaust pipes coupled to the exhaust ports of the drying devices, and measuring flow rates of air discharged from the drying devices, valves installed on the exhaust pipes to control the flow rates of air discharged from the drying devices, and a controlling device that receives data from the measuring devices, and controls the valves such that the flow rates of air discharged from the drying devices are uniform. The drying devices are controlled such that air is discharged from the drying devices at a uniform flow rate.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart dehumidification apparatus and dehumidification method of a flow rate-dependent switching method. The present invention provides an adsorption-type dehumidification apparatus and a dehumidification method using same, the adsorption-type dehumidification apparatus comprising: a first adsorption tower (A) and a second adsorption tower (B) which are two adsorption towers filled with adsorbents and which alternately perform a dehumidification process and a regeneration process; an inflow line (10) for introducing a humidified gas into the first adsorption tower (A) and the second adsorption tower (B); a discharge line (20) for discharging a dried gas dehumidified in the first adsorption tower (A) and the second adsorption tower (B); a regeneration line (30) for introducing a regeneration gas into the first adsorption tower (A) and the second adsorption tower (B); a heater (40) for heating the regeneration gas; a flow meter (F) for measuring the flow rate of the humidified gas flowing into the first adsorption tower (A) and the second adsorption tower (B); and a control unit (C). According to the present invention, the moisture contained in compressed air, etc., is dried through adsorption and regeneration, and the dehumidification process (adsorption process) and the regeneration process are switched depending on the flow rate of the humidified gas flowing into the adsorption towers (A, B) such that at least the renewable energy consumed in the regeneration process can be reduced.
