The temperature of this air mixture which may be ashigh as 100° F. is lowered to a maximum of 68° F. by passing it overand around copper tubes through which water at 58-60° F. is circu-lating. The cool air then passes through the first silica gel adsorberwhere it is partially dehydrated; then it is again cooled and is passedinto the second adsorber where the drying is completed and from which 452 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL.
