The invention relates to a
pollution-
free gas drying agent which has high dehumidifying efficiency, slow dissolving speed and no
pollution after
dissolution, and can be directly dissolved in water to be exhausted to the environment, and a
drying method thereof. The method comprises the steps that: wet air enters through an inlet which is positioned in the center of the bottom of a dryer container, so that the
compressed air is uniformly distributed and flows upwards through the uniform diversion of a splitter plate, and the air is fully contacted with a
moisture-absorbing agent layer; the wetair is firstly contacted with the
moisture-absorbing agent layer in a
reaction zone, and the
moisture-absorbing agent absorbs plenty of water in the wet air, so that the moisture-absorbing agent undergoes
chemical reaction; the wet air enters a
drying zone of the moisture-absorbing agent layer, and the moisture-absorbing agent further dries the wet air, so that the
dew point of the wet air reaches the required
dew point; and finally, the fully dried
compressed air is exhausted through an air outlet at the upper end of the container by passing through a preparation area of the moisture-absorbing agent. The dryer of the invention overcomes the defect that the conventional dryer has complex structure,
high energy consumption, and environmental
pollution, and has the advantages of stable performance, low
energy consumption, low cost, no pollution, and low requirement on the
working environment.
