Container of a drying system containing adsorption medium
First Claim
1. A container of a drying plant for drying gas, comprising:
- a container body;
cartridges including a first cartridge with a first hollow interior and a second cartridge with a second hollow interior, said second cartridge disposed in said container body so as to be easily removed from said container body;
an adsorption medium for a gas to be dried disposed in at least one of said first cartridge and said second cartridge, at least part of said adsorption medium completely filling said first hollow interior and said second hollow interior, a pressure prevailing between said adsorption medium and at least one of said first cartridge and said second cartridge is such that said adsorption medium is stationary even under changing operating and environmental conditions in said at least one of said first cartridge and said second cartridge;
said second cartridge stacked on top of said first cartridge in said container body so that there is a guaranteed guided flow from said first cartridge to said second cartridge and a connection of said first cartridge to said second cartridge and to said container body being substantially gas-tight;
at least a part of said first cartridge and said second cartridge can be re-used after said adsorption medium has been replaced and said first cartridge and said second cartridge being at least partially identical in structure; and
said cartridges each having a top rim and a bottom rim, at least one of said top rim and said bottom rim functioning as a seal so that the gas to be dried is applied to an entire cross-section of said adsorption medium without being diverted between said first cartridge and said second cartridge.

Abstract
An advantageous configuration of an adsorption medium in a drying plant is described. At least one cartridge containing the adsorption medium for a gas to be dried is removably disposed in a container of the drying plant. A pressure prevails between the adsorption medium and the cartridge such that the adsorption medium remains stationary in the cartridge, in particular even under changing operating and/or environmental conditions. Using the cartridge enables the adsorption medium to be changed rapidly and safely on site. In addition, the invention ensures a high quality of gas drying, in particular without the added risk of the particles being released. Different cartridges can also be used for different adsorption media and can therefore be optimized to suit the most varied of drying plants.
