ABSTRACT:
A casing assembly of a desiccant housing houses desiccant in an air dryer system. The casing assembly includes a casing portion, a retainer, two porous plates, and a mechanism for compacting the desiccant. The casing portion defines a channel between two sleeves that channels moisture-bearing air from an inlet of a head end out a tail end of the casing portion. An inner sleeve defines a flow chamber between the ends. The head end features an inner seat face that seals against an inner sealing flange of a main portion of the housing. The head end features an outer seat face that connects to an outer sealing flange of the main portion. The inlet communicates with a supply port of the main portion from which the moisture-bearing air is received during a drying mode of operation of the system. An outlet of the head end communicates with a delivery port of the main portion out of which dried air is directed during the drying mode. The retainer affixes to the inner sleeve within the flow chamber at the head end. One plate abuts an interior side of the retainer within the flow chamber. The other plate is slidably disposed within the flow chamber near the tail end. The compacting means connects to an inner face of the tail end and abuts the other plate thereby compacting the desiccant between the porous plates. The tail end features an outer seat face that connects to a cover portion of the housing.
