Abstract: A casing assembly of a desiccant housing houses desiccant in an air dryer system. The casing assembly includes a casing portion, a retainer, two porous plates, and a mechanism for compacting the desiccant. The casing portion defines a channel between two sleeves that channels moisture-bearing air from an inlet of a head end out a tail end of the casing portion. An inner sleeve defines a flow chamber between the ends. The head end features an inner seat face that seals against an inner sealing flange of a main portion of the housing. The head end features an outer seat face that connects to an outer sealing flange of the main portion. The inlet communicates with a supply port of the main portion from which the moisture-bearing air is received during a drying mode of operation of the system. An outlet of the head end communicates with a delivery port of the main portion out of which dried air is directed during the drying mode. The retainer affixes to the inner sleeve within the flow chamber at the head end. One plate abuts an interior side of the retainer within the flow chamber. The other plate is slidably disposed within the flow chamber near the tail end. The compacting means connects to an inner face of the tail end and abuts the other plate thereby compacting the desiccant between the porous plates. The tail end features an outer seat face that connects to a cover portion of the housing.

Abstract: A gas drying canister housing for a desiccant canister in a gas dryer system includes a main portion having an upper base and a lower portion having a lower base. A canister bore is defined between the upper and lower bases when the main and lower portions are fastened to each other. The main portion defines a supply port through which a stream of moisture-bearing gas is directed into the housing for passage through the desiccant canister during a drying mode of operation of the gas dryer system. The main portion also defines a delivery port through which a stream of dried gas is directed from the housing during the drying mode. The lower portion defines a purge port through the lower base through which a stream of remoisturized gas is expelled from the housing during a purge mode of operation of the gas dryer system. The upper base of the main portion features a sealing flange against which an outer rim portion of a top of the desiccant canister is seatable so as to make an air tight seal therebetween. The gas drying canister housing further includes a mechanism for aligning and securably retaining the desiccant canister within the housing such that when the desiccant canister is so aligned and securably retained the top of the desiccant canister aligns with and seals against the sealing flange and communication between the supply and delivery ports of the housing is possible only through the desiccant canister.
