Abstract
A method for manufacturing an adsorption agent for treating compressed gas, which includes the steps of providing a monolithic supporting structure; producing a coating suspension that includes an adsorbent; applying the coating suspension on the supporting structure to form a coating; applying a thermal treatment to the coated supporting structure in order to sinter the coating.
Claims26
A method for manufacturing an adsorption agent for drying compressed gas, comprising the following steps:
- provision of a monolithic supporting structure a wall thickness of between 2 and 11 mil and configured to be placed in a vessel of a compressed air dryer;
- production of a coating suspension that comprises a hydrophilic adsorbent;
- application of the aforementioned coating suspension on the aforementioned supporting structure to form a coating
- application of a thermal treatment to the supporting structure with the coating, in order to sinter the coating,
- wherein the hydrophilic adsorbent in the sintered coating is arranged to dry the compressed gas by adsorbing water from the compressed gas.

A method for manufacturing an adsorption agent comprising the following steps:
- producing a coating suspension that comprises an adsorbent, wherein the adsorbent comprises a hydrophilic zeolite;
- applying the coating suspension to a monolithic supporting structure to form a coating, said monolithic supporting structure having a wall thickness of between 2 and 11 mil and configured to be placed in a vessel of a compressed air dryer;
- sintering the coating by a thermal treatment;
- and
- wherein said applying comprises perfusing the supporting structure with the coating suspension, said perfusing is done in the opposite direction to gravity, and said perfusing is realized by a pump that pumps the coating suspension upwards through the supporting structure,
- wherein the hydrophilic adsorbent in the sintered coating adsorb water in, and therefore dry, a compressed gas;
- and further comprising
- removing a portion of the coating material after the perfusing, wherein the removing is realized by reversing the operation direction of the pump.
