Abstract

A purge air regulating unit for a drying device for compressed air, the purge air regulating unit being connectable to a housing in which a membrane filter, such as a bundle of hollow fiber membranes, is arranged such that a sub-flow of dried compressed air flowing out of the housing from an outlet channel can be conducted back to the hollow fiber membranes as purge air by the purge air regulating unit. A method for regulating the flow of dried compressed air flowing out of a membrane dryer back into a housing of the membrane dryer, the membrane dryer being equipped with a membrane filter, such as a bundle of hollow fiber membranes, is also provided.
