Flair Carbon Adsorber Tank 21 Gal Compressed Air Dryer 150 PSIG F9582.1627534

Flair Carbon Adsorber Tank 21 Gal Compressed Air Dryer 150 PSIG F9582.1627534

This Flair carbon adsorber tank is a pressure vessel used as the adsorption chamber in a compressed air drying system. Manufactured by Flair of Ocala, FL and certified to ASME standards (National Board No. 25708), it holds an activated carbon or desiccant bed that removes moisture, hydrocarbons, and contaminants from compressed air as it passes through. The tank measures approximately 80 × 20 inches and holds 21 gallons (82 liters) of adsorbent media.

Applications

Carbon adsorber tanks like this one are a key component in two-tower or multi-vessel compressed air purification systems, commonly found in manufacturing plants, industrial facilities, and process air applications. In a typical heatless or heated purge desiccant dryer system, one vessel adsorbs moisture and hydrocarbon vapors from the compressed air stream while the other regenerates offline — the operation sequence label visible on this tank illustrates exactly this left-chamber/right-chamber alternating drying and repressurization cycle. These vessels are also used as activated carbon beds for hydrocarbon and oil-vapor removal downstream of compressors. Common applications include instrument air systems, pneumatic control systems, pharmaceutical-grade air, food-grade air, and industrial process lines where dry, clean compressed air is required. The 150 PSIG working pressure rating suits most standard industrial compressed air systems.
