Abstract
An air drying assembly includes an inlet port for receiving compressed air, an air drying unit for outputting the dried compressed air, and an outlet port for providing the dried compressed air to a pneumatic unit. The air drying assembly also includes a pressure discharge line for discharging air pressure (P) in the air drying assembly, via a pressure discharge port, to an environment, wherein a flow of discharge air to the environment is controlled by an electrically controllable valve unit. The pressure discharge line is connected to the output port of the air drying unit, which reduces the corrosion of the valve unit.
Claims19
An air drying assembly for providing dried air to a pneumatic unit of a pneumatic arrangement, the air drying assembly comprising:
- an inlet port configured to be connected to a compressed air supply unit for receiving compressed air;
- an air drying unit comprising an input port connected to the inlet port, a desiccant element arranged and configured to absorb moisture from the received compressed air, and an output port for outputting the dried compressed air, wherein the desiccant element is pneumatically arranged between the input port and the output port;
- and
- an outlet port for providing the dried compressed air to the pneumatic unit, wherein the air drying assembly also comprises
- a pressure discharge line for discharging air pressure in the air drying assembly, via a pressure discharge port, to an environment, wherein a flow of discharge air to the environment is controlled by an electrically controllable valve unit;
- wherein the pressure discharge line is connected to the output port of the air drying unit.
