Oxygen peak compressed air after switching drying tower
Oxygen peak compressed air after switching drying tower
(OP)
Hello,
We have a problem regarding the drying of compressed air using a twin tower system with purge air for regeneration. As desiccant a 13X molecular sieve is applied.
We notice an increase of oxygen in the air composition after switching from the saturated tower to the regenerated tower. Oxygen content raises to about 26%, and after a short time it drops back to its normal value of 20.96%.
How can this phenomenon be explained?
Best regards

The magnitude and duration of your spike sounds like this is what is happening to you.
