Abstract

A drying cartridge for air drying systems, especially for compressed-air brake systems of vehicles, has an inner pot and an outer pot. The components used for the air drying, including a pressure spring used for compressing the drying agent, are arranged inside the inner pot constructed as a preassembled unit, in which case the inner pot can be inserted flush into the outer pot. By usage of an interior-cylindrical wall, the inner pot surrounds a duct which penetrates the drying cartridge in the axial center, through which duct a screw is guided for fastening the drying cartridge on the dryer casing.
