The '''Regens''' are used for drying air in [[Storage Tanks]] or [[Pneumatic Conveying Systems]] and are beneficial in the drying of hygroscopic (water-absorbing) resins. These [[Dryers]] remove water from the air by passing it through a desiccant that absorbs moisture. | The '''Regens''' are used for drying air in [[Storage Tanks]] or [[Pneumatic Conveying Systems]] and are beneficial in the drying of hygroscopic (water-absorbing) resins.

Heated purge regenerative Regens use less air than the heatless variety in addition to heat, which helps the air carry away more water as it passes through the saturated desiccant. | Heated purge regenerative Regens use less air than the heatless variety in addition to heat, which helps the air carry away more water as it passes through the saturated desiccant. | ||
