    Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, use these dryers to remove any remaining moisture in your air line. To reuse saturated desiccant, heat it in an oven at its reactivation temperature—you'll know it's dry when the color changes. Install these dryers after an oil filter to protect the desiccant.

    Norgren Modular Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Compressed Air Dryers. Norgren Modular Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers.
    For use with Norgren modular compressed air systems, once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, use one of these desiccant-filled dryers to remove any remaining moisture in your air line. Install after an oil filter to protect the desiccant. They have a clear bowl so you can see inside to monitor contents. To reuse saturated desiccant, heat it at its reactivation temperature until it returns to its dry color.
    Joiner Clamps—Use a joiner clamp (sold separately) to connect your dryer to another Norgren modular component.
    End Block Sets—End block sets (sold separately) allow you to swap out filter/regulator/lubricator components without unthreading your air line connections. The blocks remain connected to your pipe while you replace components between them.

    Noncycling

    Air Dryers

    Remove bulk water vapor from your compressed air line by refrigerating the air. These dryers have a timer-activated drain valve that opens automatically to discharge condensate. Install them in your air line after the compressor and separator.
    Noncycling—Noncycling dryers run continuously to dry compressed air, so they’re best for applications with a constant need for dry air.

    Housing with

    Sight Glass

    Prevent equipment damage caused by moisture. The first step in water removal, these separators remove the water that accumulates as compressed air cools. They have a float-operated drain valve that automatically opens when the bowl begins to fill. Install in your air line after compressors and aftercoolers.
    Sight Glass—Separators with a sight glass allow you to see inside the bowl to monitor its contents.

    Maintenance-Free Membrane Compressed Air Dryers with Filters for Oil and Particle Removal

    Dry air without hassle—there’s no desiccant to change out with these dryers. They remove vapor from compressed air lines by collecting it in a membrane. A small stream is diverted from the incoming compressed air to release the collected vapor from the membrane. Use them in applications where water vapor can damage tools, such as painting and welding. All come with a built-in oil and particle filter to catch contaminants for a compact design. Install these air dryers after aftercoolers and separators.
