The addition of one extra dryer unit to the installation provides a complete standby facility for any dryer requiring service or maintenance work. In this way system backup is achieved by the addition, for example of one dryer to be added to a five dryer installation rather than buying another five dryers. In anticipation of future expansion, the distribution manifold can be designed to accommodate additional dryers by installing expansion ports at the time of initial installation, making expansion quick, easy and low cost. The small footprint of the dryer prevents the need for expensive installation costs, as the dryer fits through a standard doorway and can be easily transported without the need for expensive lifting equipment. Servicing is made ease due to commonality of components used throughout the design of the dryer; both heatless and heat regenerative use the same componentry. Servicing can be undertaken, using the 100% standby unit (where fitted), without interruption of the air flow to the customers plant. The use of seamless extruded aluminium exempts the dryer from regular maintenance and costly insurance checks otherwise associated with carbon steel welded vessels.
