Why Do I Need Dryer For My Air Compressor?
25 March, 2024
Why install dryer with your compressor?
Air dryers remove the moisture following the compressed air process. Dry compressed air is a concept with a wide range of meanings and dew point is an indication of how dry the compressed air is or needs to be. While air can be compressed, water cannot be compressed.
Top air quality for high-end equipment
Choosing right size of Air Dryer for your application need
When sizing an air dryer that keeps up with your application needs, it is important to get the right fit. An air dryer that is too large will cause harmful wear and tear long before normal, opposed to having an undersized dryer can lead to poor air quality downstream.
Questions to keep in mind when you are sizing the dryer for your needs:
- What is the desired dew point? - How much CFM will your compressor be sending through the dryer, and at what pressure? - What are the ambient conditions of the dryer? - What is the inlet temperature of the air going into the dryer?
Answering these few questions will give you a good start on selecting the right dryer technology and the appropriate size for your compressor.
