Equilibration is defined as the time it takes to load the zeolite of at least half of the swing capacity of the adsorbent.
For example, if a zeolite 3A adsorbent is initially loaded with 5 millimole per gram (g) of water and the local concentration of water at the surface of the crystal ultimately produces a loading of 12 millimole/g, or the swing capacity is 7 millimole/g.
The swing capacity for water vapor may be defined at each location (point) within the adsorbent bed.
