    This document summarizes the key parameters for designing a desiccant dryer bed, including a bed diameter of 7.75 ft, a volumetric flow rate of 6594 ft3/min, a total bed height of 20.635 ft, and a total dessicant weight of 43,800 lbs. It also provides calculations for determining the total design pressure drop of 6.592 psia across the bed, which should be between 5-8 psi, in order to avoid crushing the sieve over the 3-year lifespan of the dryer bed. The document defines equations for calculating pressure drop based on variables like viscosity, density, and manufacturer-supplied constants.

    Bed diameter 7.

    75 ft
    Superficial Velocity 139.779 ft/min
    Volumetric flow rate of feed 6594 ft3/min
    Batch time 9hrs
    ΔP/L 0.319 psia/ft
    Height of Equilibrium Zone 18.059
    Height of MTZ 2.575
    Total Bed Height 20.635
    ΔP 6.592 psia
    Dessicant Weight 38,340 lbs
    Total Dessicant Weight 43,800 lbs

    The result is multiplied times the total bed height (LS + LMTZ) to get the total design pressure drop,
    which should be 5-8 psi. This is important, because the operating pressure drop can increase to as much
    as double the design value over three years. Too high a pressure drop plus the bed weight can crush the
    sieve. If the design pressure drop exceeds 8 psi, the bed diameter should be increased and the sieve
    amount and vessel dimensions recalculated.
