Dryers
An Air Dryer will remove moisture from compressed air to a certain
degree of dryness and this is referred to as Pressure Dew Point.
Different types of dryers can achieve different dew points and, for the
most part, the drier the air needs to be, the more expensive it is to dry.
Refrigerated Dryers condense the moisture out of the air and
drain it away as liquid. They are limited to about 35° F because
the water freezes if it gets colder
Desiccant Dryers adsorb the moisture in the compressed air and
remove it while it’s still suspended as vapor. They are typically
applied at about -40° F, but may reach below to -100° F
Membrane Dryers use permeability to separate the moisture from
the air and can also achieve low dew points
The selection is made based on personal preferences, the dryness required,
and the affordable cost, which should include such things as operating,
electrical, and/or utility bills
