Product Code: Compressed Air Hollow Fiber Membrane Dryers
FMD-Series Hollow Fiber Membrane Technology
Finite®, the world leader in coalescing media development, has combined its proven coalescing ltration with a modern alternative to pressure swing and refrigerant dryer technologies.
Finite®'s membrane dryers are available in 10 models which can supply clean, dry compressed air with dewpoints as low as -40°F (@10 SCFM) and +35° F (@40 SCFM).
These membrane dryers are engineered for easy installation, minimal maintenance, and long term reliability.
How It Works:
The water vapor in the compressed air is removed by the principle of selective permeation through a membrane. The membrane module consists of bundles of hollow membrane "bers, each permeable to water vapor. As the compressed air passes through the center of these "bers, water vapor permeates through the walls of the "ber. A small portion of the dry air (purge !ow) is redirected along the outside of each hollow "ber, carrying away the moisture-laden air which is then Exhausted to room atmosphere. The remainder of the dry air is piped to the application.
NOTE: In all cases a Grade 10 pre"lter and a Grade 6 coalescer are installed upstream of the dryer module for 99.9985% removal of oil aerosols and mists.
