An improved method and apparatus for removing moisture from compressed air through a pre-compression adsorptive desiccant bed, heat reactivated and regenerative air drying and filtration system. This system consists of an air filter affixed to a blower and in communication with a heater connected and communicating with a conduit communicating with a first valve and a second valve. The first and second valve are each connected to another conduit which is connected to a desiccant bed adsorption unit and another valve and conduit which is in communication with an air compression machine. Each desiccant bed is preferably of tubular configuration.

A method of drying atmospheric air prior to compression and regenerating spent desiccant media, comprising the steps of: providing a first pre-compression tubular desiccant bed adsorption unit adapted for radial air flow therethrough and a second pre-compression tubular desiccant bed adsorption unit

A method of drying atmospheric air prior to compression and regenerating spent desiccant media, comprising the steps of: providing a first pre-compression tubular desiccant bed adsorption unit adapted for radial air flow therethrough and a second pre-compression tubular desiccant bed adsorption unit having radial flow; drawing atmospheric air through one of the pre-compression desiccant bed absorption units radially; conveying dried air from said pre-compression tubular desiccant bed adsorption unit to an inlet of a gas compression machine; regenerating the other pre-compression desiccant bed adsorption unit by; generating heated atmospheric air; conveying heated atmospheric air through the other pre-compression desiccant bed adsorption unit; drying said other pre-compression desiccant bed with the heated air radially.
