A plate heat exchanger functioning as an air dryer efficiently removes moisture from the air through a process of heat exchange. As humid air enters the PHE, it is warmed by the heated plates, increasing the air's temperature and, consequently, its capacity to hold moisture. The increased temperature causes the water vapor in the air to evaporate, which is then either condensed and collected or vented out of the system. The PHE's design, featuring closely spaced corrugated plates, maximizes the surface area for heat transfer and enhances the evaporation process through induced turbulence. The result is drier air that is suitable for various applications requiring controlled humidity levels. The system's energy efficiency and compact size make it an excellent choice for environments where conserving energy and space is essential.
