    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for improving stability and efficiency of a rotation of a rotor of a compresses-gas dryer system. The compressed-gas dryer system includes a pressure vessel defining a drying zone and a regeneration zone. A compressed gas to be dried is received into the drying zone and dried compressed gas exits the drying zone. A regeneration gas is received into the regeneration zone and exits the regeneration zone. A controller receives temperature data indicative of a temperature of the compressed gas to be dried received into the drying zone, the dried compressed gas exiting the drying zone, the regeneration gas received into the regeneration zone, and/or the regeneration gas exiting the regeneration zone. And based on the temperature data, the controller is configured to control a rotational speed of a rotor provided in the pressure vessel.

    摘要: Systems and methods for the efficient regeneration of sorbents, such as those used for the direct capture and separation of carbon dioxide and/or water from the atmosphere are provided. Temperature responsive bimetallic alloy strips, gores, or sheets are utilized as heat-responsive fins embedded into and extending out of the adsorbent bed to guide heated gas flows to cooler regions of the adsorbent bed undergoing regeneration. The invention allows for more rapid and more even heating of adsorbent beds to effect more efficient desorption of one or more chemical moieties adsorbed thereon. In particular, the invention is useful for the desorption of carbon dioxide from adsorption beds utilized for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide as well as the desorption of water from adsorption beds utilized for atmospheric harvesting of water.

    摘要: Drying device including a drying medium with a predetermined number of drying segments which extend adjacently of each other and are associated with at least one opening at each of a first connecting end and a second connecting end, wherein the predetermined number is greater than six and wherein each connecting end includes first and second complementary concentric elements which are rotatable relative to each other round an axis. The openings are provided in the first concentric elements along a rotation ring around the axis. The second concentric elements each delimit at least two channels which open at the position of said rotation ring, so that corresponding channels of the first and second connecting end are connected to each other via the openings and the drying segments in order to allow a first airflow and a second airflow through the drying device.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (10) for drying a process gas. The apparatus (10) includes a principal adsorption unit (11) having an inlet (14) for receiving a process gas from a compressor, and an outlet (16) for discharging the process gas. A first supplemental adsorption unit (12) has an adsorbent for adsorbing water. A second supplemental adsorption unit (13) also has an adsorbent for adsorbing water. The apparatus (10) is configured to fluidly connect the outlet of the principal adsorption unit (16) to at least one of the first and second supplemental adsorption units (12, 13). The at least one of the first and second supplemental adsorption units (12, 13) is operable to adsorb water to dry the process gas discharged from the principal adsorption unit. The present disclosure also relates to a method of drying a process gas; a control unit; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
