The housing assembly consists of two cylindrical steel
stampings welded together. For piping convenience, two inlet
ports, one reservoir port and one purge volume port are
provided in the AD-2
™
air dryer. The side outlet port of the
™
AD-2
air dryer incorporates an integral single check valve
with the top port used for the addition of purge volume.
(Refer to Figure 1)
A safety valve mounted in the housing assembly protects
against excessive pressure build-up within the housing.
The desiccant sealing plate assembly is located mid-way
in the housing assembly and houses a replaceable ball-type
single check. Also located in the plate assembly is the purge
orifice.

The desiccant cartridge and aluminum oil separator filter
are removable and comprise a complete serviceable unit.
The desiccant beads, which are referred to as the "drying
bed", are a drying substance that has the unique property
of exposing a tremendous surface area in proportion to its
bulk. One pound of the desiccant beads has about two
million square feet of adsorptive area made up of a large
number of submicroscopic cavities in each bead. Each
desiccant bead adsorbs or collects moisture.
