ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for drying a gas comprises an elongate housing having an inlet port and an outlet port for the gas. The housing comprises at least two axially separable parts which can be separated to allow access to the interior of the housing. A cartridge contains an adsorbent material through which gas can flow axially from an inlet end which is in fluid communication with the inlet port to the housing towards an outlet end which is in fluid communication with the outlet port from the housing. The cartridge has a plurality of flexible vanes at the inlet end which, when the cartridge is located within the housing, are twisted so that gas flowing over the vanes has a circumferential flow imparted to it around the axis of the cartridge.
