ABSTRACT:
A gas drying device (30) in which wet gas (31) is introduced into a chamber (36) containing desiccant (38) in which the desiccant (38) adsorbs moisture from the wet gas (31) to dry the wet gas (31) and in which energy is utilized to energize and to remove the moisture from the desiccant (38) to dry and to regenerate the desiccant (38) for reuse to dry wet gas (31) includes a microwave generator (52) and an antenna member (48) in communication with microwaves (50) generated by the microwave generator (52) in which at least a portion of the antenna (48) is disposed within the chamber (46). Also included is a method for drying wet gas (31) in which wet gas (31) is introduced into a chamber (46) containing desiccant (38) in which the desiccant (38) adsorbs moisture from the wet gas (31) in drying the wet gas (31) and microwave energy is applied to the adsorbed moisture to remove the moisture from the desiccant (38) to regenerate the desiccant (38) for reuse in drying wet gas (31) which includes the steps of placing an antenna member (48) into communication with microwaves (50) generated by a microwave generator (52) and disposing at least a portion of the antenna member (48) into the chamber (46) containing the desiccant (38).
