Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a novel installation (100) for drying products (70) of the most varied type, the dehumidifying apparatus (10) of which comprises two silica-gel adsorbent bodies (20, 20′) which work in alternating operation and which—in a periodically mutually alternating manner—pass through an adsorption or dehumidifying phase (EB) and a regeneration phase (RB), the periodic changeover to the respective other phase and vice versa being effected by means of a control unit (8), which can be supplied with moisture data or the like from moisture sensors or the like, e.g. as a function of the moisture of the air after passing through the adsorbent body (20, 20′) which is in the regeneration phase (RB), the dehumidified air (lt) being drawn by means of a suction fan (71) through a drying chamber (7) containing the product (70) to be dried.
