Compressed Air Dryers – Which one is correct for your application?

Compressed air is a crucial utility in numerous industrial applications, and maintaining its quality is paramount. The presence of moisture and contaminants in compressed air can lead to equipment malfunction, reduced efficiency, and increased maintenance costs. Compressed air dryers play a pivotal role in eliminating these issues, so which dryer is right for your application?

A high percentage of applications will be satisfied with a refrigerated air dryer that can produce a pressure dewpoint at or below 39 degrees F. Air dryers are affected by their environmental conditions, so a properly sized dryer is crucial to maintain the desired dew point. Cycling and Non-Cycling refrigerated dryers are the normal choices, and each have their place.

If your application requires a lower pressure dewpoint, consider a Desiccant air dryer.  Depending on the size, desiccant air dryers can be Heatless, Heated, or Blower Purge.  Each style has advantages and disadvantages.

Unfortunately, there is not one size to fit all when it comes to air quality.  To discuss your application and determine which solution is best for you, please contact us at 1-800-868-2450.
