Supply air line drier
ess recommends that growers install dryers in their air lines to mini-
mize the amount of water condensation that is sprayed through the air
line of the TrG-5. air compressors produce warm, moist air which con-
densates in air delivery lines during pumping. If allowed to travel into
a sprayer, this moisture can corrode or freeze its air lines or regulators.
a simple air dryer installed in the hose air lines can prolong the life of
spraying equipment. Typically, an air dryer is a separator or drain with
a plug or valve that is offset from the line to trap water build-up before
it leaves the air line through connectors. air lines should be drained
monthly if they are used frequently.
