Abstract
The invention relates to a sorption dryer, comprising: at least one passage through which a gas, particularly air, is fed during use; wherein the or each passage is provided with a sorption material; heating means for heating the sorption material at least locally in order to regenerate the sorption material; a temperature gauge for measuring a temperature representative of the moisture content of the sorption material; and control means for controlling the heating means subject to the measured temperature, wherein the control means are adapted to at least temporarily deactivate the heating means when the measured temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature.

Sorption dryer, comprising:
- at least one passage through which a gas, particularly air, is fed during use;
- wherein the or each passage is provided with a sorption material;
- and
- heating means for heating the sorption material at least locally in order to regenerate the sorption material;
- characterized by
- a temperature gauge for measuring a temperature representative of the moisture content of the sorption material;
- and
- control means for controlling the heating means subject to the measured temperature, wherein the control means are adapted to at least temporarily deactivate the heating means when the measured temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature.
Method for regenerating a sorption dryer, comprising of:
- feeding a gas, particularly air, through a passage of the sorption dryer;
- at least partially heating a sorption material of the sorption dryer by means of heating means for the purpose of regenerating the sorption material;
- characterized by
- measuring a temperature representative of the moisture content of the sorption material;
- and
- controlling the heating means subject to the measured temperature such that the heating means are at least temporarily deactivated when the measured temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature.
