DYD Series

In-Line Desiccation Systems for Heat Transfer Fluids

Scalable moisture removal for low-flow, standard, and high-volume fluid loops

Benchtop Scale (SX Model) Designed for up to 2 GPM flow rate

Small Commercial Scale (TX Model) Designed for up to 10 GPM flow rate

Large Industrial Scale (DX Model) Designed for up to 30 GPM flow rate

Dynalene's DYD Series encompasses our full range of in line desiccation solutions for heat transfer fluids, scaling seamlessly from compact benchtop units to small commercial scale to industrial high-flow vessels. Using advanced molecular sieves, these systems effectively capture dissolved and free moisture from hydrocarbons, silicone oils, transformer oils, refrigerants, and lubricants. Whether you are maintaining a small laboratory loop or a massive industrial heat transfer system, the DYD Series prevents ice formation, vapor lock, and dielectric breakdown to keep your fluid operating at peak performance and maximize its operational lifespan

Benchtop Scale (SX Model): Ideal for laboratory loops, small test baths, and compact manufacturing setups, these units deliver up to 2 GPM of desiccation flow within a minimal footprint.

Small Commercial Scale (TX Model): Designed for moderate flow requirements, the single-vessel pilot skid supports up to 10 GPM and is perfectly sized for small to medium process heating and cooling systems.

Large Industrial Scale (DX Model): Built for high-capacity applications, the dual-vessel industrial skids handle flow rates up to 30 GPM, providing continuous, heavy-duty moisture removal for large-scale operations.

DYD Series

Desiccant / Molecular Sieve

Advanced alkali aluminosilicate-based molecular sieves for all desiccation system scales

Dynalene's desiccant (DYD-MX-A) is an alkali aluminosilicate-based molecular sieve, supplied as a granular powder, designed for high moisture adsorption capacity (maximum adsorptive capacity: 24% by weight) in hydrocarbon and silicone heat transfer fluids. This desiccant is fully compatible with our Benchtop Scale (SX Model), Small Commercial Scale (TX Model), and Large Industrial Scale (DX Model) systems.

The Process

How It Works

The DYD Series is designed for seamless integration into your existing fluid infrastructure. Operating as an in-line or slip-stream setup, it continuously removes moisture without disrupting your main process flow. While the core slip-stream loop is simple, it can be fully customized with isolation valves, flow meters, pressure gauges, and particulate filters to meet your facility's exact requirements. Depending on your system design, the desiccation system can be integrated in multiple ways — as a slip-stream off the main supply loop, off the process fluid return line, or fully in-line between the HTF tank outlet and the circulation pump to ensure fluid is continuously dried before re-entering the loop. Note: The diagram below represents a simplified view of the overall process flow for illustrative purposes.

1

Fluid Extraction

A portion of your fluid is continuously diverted from the main process loop and routed through the desiccation system.

2

Active Adsorption

As fluid flows through the aluminosilicate molecular sieves, free and dissolved moisture is aggressively captured and trapped.

3

Clean Fluid Return

The dry, moisture-free fluid is safely returned to the main loop, protecting your equipment from ice formation and corrosion.

Where It Works

Applications

Dynalene desiccation systems protect any fluid loop where trace moisture causes ice formation, vapor lock, dielectric failure, or accelerated fluid degradation.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Continuously scrubs dissolved moisture from heat transfer fluids in Jacketed Reactors, Lyophilizers, Bioreactors, and Spray Dryers — eliminating ice-fouled heat exchangers and preventing costly process downtime.

Food, Beverage & Flavors

Removes trace moisture from food-grade mineral oils, specialty silicone fluids and other HTFs used in flavor, fragrance, and nutritional ingredient manufacturing, preventing fluid degradation and maintaining strict quality standards.

Renewable Energy

Removes moisture from concentrated solar power (CSP) hot-oil loops, geothermal secondary loops, and solar thermal systems — potentially eliminating steam flashing, vapor lock, and accelerated fluid oxidation at high temperatures.

Oil & Gas Processing

Essential for large-scale thermal oil systems and hot-oil loops. Effectively strips out dissolved water to prevent catastrophic steam expansion, acid formation, and rapid fluid degradation in continuous high-temp operations.

Semiconductor & Electronics

Prevents moisture ingress in fab chiller plants and high-temperature process furnace thermal oil loops, ensuring precise temperature control and eliminating yield-killing particulate generation from corrosion.

EV & Battery Manufacturing

Maintains ultra-dry HTF loops in Gigafactory environments and cell formation cooling systems, which is critical for preventing moisture-induced battery degradation and ensuring safe, efficient manufacturing.

Mining & Critical Minerals

Protects underground diesel equipment cooling loops and critical mineral processing thermal systems from moisture-induced corrosion, viscosity breakdown, and freezing in extreme environments.

AI

Data Centers & AI Infra

Protects primary CDU loops and IT cooling infrastructure from moisture accumulation, preventing corrosion and preserving critical dielectric properties in advanced immersion and direct-to-chip cooling fluids.

Automotive & eVTOL

Removes trace moisture from EV charging station thermal management systems, hybrid vehicle service loops, and eVTOL vertiports to prevent coolant degradation, dielectric breakdown, and vapor lock.
