TECHNOLOGY FOR OBTAINING A RIBBON-TYPE SMART DESICCANT BASED ON ALUMINA NANOFIBERS



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PURPOSE

The technology allows to obtain ribbon-type air desiccants for use in modern pneumoautomatic vehicles systems. Smart desiccant has high moisture absorption properties owning to the use of flexible alumina ceramic nanofiber array when forming highly developed internal surface of the plate.
The technological processes for obtaining the morphology of desiccants with ceramic alumina nanofibers were developed. The lab tests of experimental samples were conducted.
 
 
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
 
Nanofiber dimensions:                                                                                                                                       
- diameter, nm 20
- length, µm no more 10

ADVANTAGES

  • innovative and eco-friendly manufacture technology;
  • one-piece desiccant with a developed geometric shape (sheets, tubes);
  • possessing analogue-like absorption capacity at smaller dimensions of the smart desiccant;
  • thermal stability, increased mechanical durability, flexibility, and wear resistance;
  • can be processed at low temperatures (120-140 °С) in a short time.

APPLICATION AREAS

  • pneumoautomatic systems of vehicles and construction equipment;
  • technological air conditioning systems;
  • compressed air purification and dehumidification systems.
 
COOPERATION FORMS
