What are deliquescent desiccants?
To deliquesce means to dissolve, and desiccant is a term for any drying agent with water attracting properties. So a deliquescent desiccant is, literally, a drying agent that dissolves. GasDry deliquescent desiccants from Van Gas Technologies are formed from proprietary blends of hygroscopic (water attracting) materials. These materials are processed into dense and evenly shaped tablets for optimal use in gas dryer vessels. When exposed to entrained water vapor (humidity) in a saturated gas stream, GasDry desiccants activate. The tablets absorb vapor from the gas, and the tablets themselves gradually dissolve into a solution. GasDry desiccants reduce the humidity in a saturated gas stream, lowering the water dew point.
