About Compressed Air Dryers

Compressed air dryers are used to remove water and other contaminants from compressed air.  Compressed air dryers use technologies such as refrigeration, desiccant adsorption, and membrane filtration to remove contaminants, particularly water, from the air.   Major groupings include refrigerant (which removes the water by cooling the air) force condensation, and desiccant (which adsorbs the water in the air with granular material such as activated alumina, silica gel and molecular sieves).  Other technologies include membrane and in-line compressed air dryers. The air can be dried in single or multiple stages to prevent tool corrosion and other problems associated with water.

Important specifications to consider when searching for compressed air dryers include drying capacity, maximum pressure, minimum output Dewpoint, motor power, and operating temperature.  Drying capacity is the maximum volume of air through dryer; typically given at 100 psig.  The maximum pressure refers to the maximum rated inlet pressure of dryer.  Dew point is a measure of dryness; it describes how much water vapor is present and tells us how cold the compressed air can get before liquid water will form.  Motor horsepower is a reference value often used to approximate dryer size; pressure and capacity are the differentiating specifications.  The operating temperature is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature.
