PSD2 & PSD4 Pressure Swing Dryers

Self-contained pressure swing dryers providing very dry zero gas for humidity calibration.

ModelPSD2 / PSD4
SKUMI-PSD2-PSD4
CategoryDew Point & Moisture

Key Features

  • Two-column pressure swing design with 4Å molecular sieve desiccant
  • Two-minute alternating switching cycle
  • Heatless regeneration — lower energy use than heated dryers
  • Desiccant life typically exceeds 5 years
  • Completely self-contained
  • Low power consumption
  • Excellent long-term stability

Overview

The Michell PSD2 and PSD4 Pressure Swing Dryers provide a source of very dry compressed air for use as a zero gas in humidity calibration systems, or for general laboratory applications. They are completely self-contained, maintenance-free aside from an occasional desiccant change, and designed for continuous, unattended operation.

Working Principle

Two columns filled with 4Å molecular sieve desiccant are used alternately on a two-minute switching cycle. A small proportion of the already-dried air is used to regenerate the offline column at each cycle (heatless regeneration), which typically extends desiccant life beyond five years while using significantly less energy than a heated-type dryer.

Benefits

  • Near-maintenance-free operation between 5-year desiccant changes
  • Lower running cost than heated regeneration dryer designs
  • Continuous, unattended operation suits always-on calibration systems
  • Reliable dry zero-gas source for chilled mirror and humidity generator reference systems
