← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a desiccant is saturated within an industrial compressed air dryer?
A)Increased downstream moisture content✓
B)Reduced compressor power consumption
C)Decreased dryer outlet air temperature
D)Elevated regeneration cycle frequency
💡 Explanation
Downstream moisture increases due to breakthrough, where adsorbed water desorbs when the desiccant’s **equilibrium vapor** pressure reaches supply humidity because adsorption capacity diminishes; therefore, compressed air is no longer dried rather than retaining dryness.
