Desiccants regeneration
The desiccant molecular sieves regenerated by heating them inside an oven to a temperature of 175 0C for duration of 2 to 3 hrs. Allow them to cool down inside the oven without exposing to room humidity. This drives off the absorbed moisture, leaving the desiccant material ready for reuse.
