Max
Performance, Type 10BF, is the most hygroscopic absorbent
deliquescent desiccant formulated by Van Air Systems for
use with single and sequential tower compressed air dryers.
Very low dew point requirements in compressed air dehydration
can usually be met using 10BF desiccant.
10BF is a hard tablet formed from hygroscopic materials
that attract and hold moisture. The materials in the compound
are non-toxic and are completely soluble in water.
As the
desiccant tablet draws water vapor out of the compressed
air, the surface of the tablet slowly dissolves and forms
a solution which eventually drops from its surface. The
deliquescent desiccant tablet continues to remove moisture
and forms this solution until the tablet is entirely consumed.
When used in a properly sized single or sequential tower
desiccant air dryer, 10BF will remove sufficient moisture
vapor to establish a 13% RH in the air line.
10BF
is recommended for use where the operating temperature is
at or below 100° F. For applications where the temperature
conditions exceed 100° F, a pre-bed of ceramic bead
support is recommended to maximize the efficiency of the
absorbent desiccant.
