Abstract

Waveguide structures that can be used in the adsorption columns of compressed air dehumidifiers for the purpose of molecular sieve regeneration by using microwave energy in the process of desorption are considered. Mathematical models of the electromagnetic field in waveguides of various designs are constructed. A study was carried out to select the best design of the waveguide irradiating the volume of the adsorbent in the cavity of the adsorption tower of the adsorption desiccant. In general, the conducted studies have shown the possibility and expediency of using X-shaped waveguides with excitation from an exciting waveguide or a coaxial cable in the construction of adsorption columns with microwave regeneration of the adsorbent, as well as the applicability of an internal dissector installed inside the waveguide to create a traveling wave in the column cavity with different the intensity of the microwave radiation of the electric field in order to increase the uniformity of the influence of microwave energy on the volume of the adsorbent. Theoretically, the possibility of using internal dissectors has been confirmed in order to increase the uniformity of the distribution of microwave energy in the cavity of the adsorption column of the desiccant. The presented theoretical experiment opens the prospect for further practical studies of the effect of microwave radiation on the process of molecular sieve desorption under conditions of the adsorption column operation as part of the adsorption dryer, and shows the creation of an effective innovative sample of industrial equipment.
