Adsorber components and their tasks.

Metallic housing (A):  Protects the inner workings of the adsorber. The refillable stainless steel housing is suitable for harsh environments, explosion protection zones and offshore use and is highly UV-resistant. 

Activated carbon disk (B): Adsorbs oil particles and aerosols from exhaust air. The activated carbon layer not only protects the desiccant from contact with oil, but also prevents harmful oil mist from escaping the system.

3µm paper filter (C): Filters finest dust and dirt particles from supply air and thus protects the system from getting filthy. 

GIEBEL Xdry® (D): Ensures effective drying of the air flowing through and indicates by changing color from orange to green when it is time to replace the adsorber.

Slosh protection (E): Prevents oil splashes and small oil droplets from escaping. They condense on the slosh protection and drip back into the system.

Foam filter disk (F): Filters coarse dust and dirt particles from the supply air.

Valve (G): Enables air exchange with the environment when the system draws in or pushes out air for pressure equalization and at the same time protects the desiccant from unnecessary loading while the system is at a standstill.

Thread (H): Connects system and adsorber. Various thread types are available.
