Abstract
A fluid dryer includes a section of tubing covered by a braided netting. The tubing is formed of a material which has selective and reversible water-absorption properties. The braided netting may be composed of electrical resistance wire, metallic wire, plastic monofilament, etc. Several dryers using the braided tubing employ a dessicant bed and multiple sections of braided tubing.
Claims13
A fluid drying device comprising a section of tubing formed of a first material having selective and reversible water-absorption properties, the surface of said tubing covered with a braided netting of a second material, and means for connecting said tubing to receive fluid.
A fluid drying device comprising:
- a housing;
- a hollow cylindrical support mounted in said housing;
- a section of water permeable membrane tubing supported about said cylindrical support, said tubing having an inlet end and an outlet end;
- a braided netting tightly covering the entire length of said tubing;
- a dessicant surrounding said tubing in said housing;
- and means to supply fluid to said inlet and withdraw fluid from said outlet.
A fluid dryer having an inlet end and an outlet end, means for supplying a fluid to be dried to said inlet end, a plurality of sections of tightly braided gas absorption membrane tubing mounted for fluid communication with said inlet end and said outlet end, said sections of tubing being hollow for receiving a portion of said fluid to be dried;
- sealing and mounting means for said tubing mounted in said dryer, said sealing and mounting means supporting said sections of tubing is spaced relationship to each other and to said inlet end and said outlet end.
A fluid drying device comprising a section of tubing formed of a first material having selective and reversible water-absorption properties, means covering the surface of said tubing for protecting the tubing from the effects of handling, enhance the heat transfer properties of said tubing, increase the mechanical strength of said tubing and increase the pressures to which said tubing can be subjected;
- and means for connecting said tubing to receive fluid.
