6.4.5 - Capacity

The usable capacity of molecular sieves is largely unimpaired by a rise in temperature. Other drying media, on the other hand, show considerably higher capacity losses with rising operating temperature, as shown in diagram 6.4.5.1.


Diagram 6.4.5.1

Within the normal pressure range of the usual industrial compressed air systems, the operating pressure has little significance for the performance of molecular sieves.
