A dehydrator is used to remove moisture from the air and provide clean, low-pressure dry air to the waveguide, dielectric coaxial cable, broadcasting antenna feeds, and its associated components. Moisture in these systems can cause various issues, such as RF reflections and high return losses, arcing, oxidation, and corrosion. They are commonly used in satellite earth stations, and radio & TV transmitting stations. By supplying clean, low-pressure dry air, the dehydrator helps to reduce or eliminate these negative effects, ensuring higher RF efficiency, better quality of service, and lower operational costs in the communication system.
Dehydrators can be directly attached to the waveguide flange or connector and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They maintain consistent internal pressure within the transmission line system (e.g., waveguide system) regardless of fluctuations in humidity and temperature.
