ABSTRACT:
Method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for controlling desiccant regeneration in air dryer equipment for a railroad locomotive. The method allows calculating an amount of air conditioned by the air dryer equipment over a period of time. The method further allows storing predefined criteria for initiating desiccant regeneration in the air dryer equipment. The calculated amount of air conditioned by the air dryer equipment is correlated relative to the predefined criteria, and upon the calculated amount of air conditioned by the air dryer equipment meeting the predefined criteria, desiccant regeneration is initiated in the air dryer equipment.
