Abstract
A system for delivering dry compressed gas is provided, the gas being separated from any entrained liquid lubricant and then passed through a moisture absorber column to interact with a moisture-removing fluid. The fluid is a liquid lubricant or is maintained in a separate closed circuit relative to the liquid lubricant. A moisture stripping device receives some of the gas from the absorber column, which is passed in moisture exchange relation with the fluid before the fluid enters the column. The column has a housing defining a vertical absorption zone, and partition plates each defining gas flow holes. The plates have at least one tube passing therethrough, with an open upper end above one plate, and a lower end adjacent the next lower plate. The fluid passes down the tubes and across a top surface of each plate, with the gas flow passing upwardly through the holes in the plates.
