An adsorbent system including an enclosure having a cavity defining a humidity-controlled environment and a body having or defining a channel therein. The body is coupled to the enclosure such that a first end of the channel is in selective fluid communication with an ambient environment and a second end of the channel is in fluid communication with the humidity-controlled environment. The system further includes an adsorbent material in the channel, wherein the channel and adsorbent material are configured such that inlet fluid flowing from the first end to the second end through the channel is flowable over at least a portion of the adsorbent material, and such that outlet fluid flowing from the second end to the first end is directly flowable over a majority of the portion of the adsorbent material that is flowable over by the inlet fluid, The system further includes a valve system positioned at or adjacent to or in fluid communication with the first end of the channel. The valve system includes an inlet valve portion that is biased to a closed position to generally block a flow of inlet fluid therethrough and that is movable to an open position when a pressure in the channel is sufficiently low relative to a pressure in the ambient environment. The valve system further includes an outlet valve portion that is biased to a closed position to generally block a flow of outlet fluid therethrough and that is movable to an open position when the pressure in the channel is sufficiently high relative to the pressure in the ambient environment.

An oxygen generation device having a compressed air supply device, air cooling coil, a fan, pneumatic valve system, a housing, at least one media insert, an on-off switch, a printed circuit board, and a touch screen. The pneumatic valve system includes an air inlet port, a first air outlet port connected to the inlet of the first media insert, a second air outlet port connected to the inlet of the second media insert. The air inlet port receives compressed air from the compressed air supply device and alternatingly provides the compressed air to one of the first media insert and the second media insert. The lower housing includes check valve ball moveable between the first position and the second position and alternatingly controlling a flow of compressed air through the first media insert and the second media insert.

An air dryer device for an air treatment device for a utility vehicle includes at least one housing forming at least one accommodation chamber for accommodating at least one desiccant container. The housing has at least one housing socket arranged, in a mounted state, at a bottom region of the housing; at least one first connection device and at least one second connection device, wherein the first and second connection device, via the desiccant container, are connectable during at least one load phase and/or during at least one regeneration phase of the air dryer device; at least one regeneration conduit for connecting the first connection device with the second connection device during the regeneration phase; and at least one first control valve arranged and configured for opening or closing the regeneration conduit, especially wherein the first control valve is arranged at the housing socket.

In an inside air control system, a first pump supplies treatment target air to an adsorption vessel, and a second pump sucks gas from the adsorption vessel. In an adjustment operation of adjusting the composition of air in a storage, the inside air control system alternately performs a first action and a second action. When a stop condition for stopping the adjustment operation is satisfied, a controller performs stop control. In the stop control, the controller controls the second pump to suck the gas from the adsorption vessel to which the first pump supplies the treatment target air when the stop condition is satisfied, and controls the second pump to stop after the second pump has operated for a first time T1.

An air breather system to dehydrate atmospheric air entering an oil tank includes first and second breathers, first and second desiccator tanks, a control unit, a ventilation fan, four conduits, plurality of valves, moisture absorbent, two heating elements, and two moisture sensors. The first and second breathers work one at a time. The atmospheric air entering the first breather is dehydrated by moisture absorbent present in first desiccator tank and is released to the oil tank. When the moisture absorbent of the first breather absorbs moisture to its full capacity, it is regenerated, and the second breather starts functioning. During regeneration, moisture absorbent is heated by the heating element. Hot air along with the vapours of moisture absorbed by the absorbent generated during regeneration process is sucked by the ventilation fan and released out of the air breather system, without allowing moisture in the hot air to condense.

Provided are apparatus and systems for performing a swing adsorption process. This swing adsorption process may involve passing streams through adsorbent bed units to remove contaminants, such as water, from the stream. As part of the process, the adsorbent bed unit may provide access to the adsorbent material within the adsorbent bed unit without having to remove one or more of valves, conduits and manifolds.
