Symptoms of Worn Desiccant
The moisture absorption capacity of the desiccant used in your dehumidifying dryer degrades
after an indefinite period of time. Useful life depends on variables such as the condition of the
process filter, how much dust and fines have been passed through the filter and got into the
desiccant chamber, and plasticizer vapors in the return air.
