Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers
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 at its reactivation temperature until it returns to its dry desiccant color. Install after an oil filter to protect the desiccant.
Dryers with a clear bowl and dryers with a sight glass allow you to see inside to monitor contents.
Dryers with a metal bowl are more durable and stand up to vapor better than dryers with a plastic bowl.

Desiccant Compressed Air Dryer/Filters for Oil and Particle Removal
These dryer/filters have a clay desiccant that removes moisture, oil, and particles, so there’s no need to install a separate filter and dryer. Once aftercoolers and separators have removed the bulk of the water, they remove any remaining moisture in your air line. Dryer/filters have a clear bowl or sight glass that allow you to see inside to monitor the contents. When the desiccant becomes saturated, it changes color to indicate that it should be replaced.
Dryer/filters with a polyurethane bowl have excellent resistance to synthetic compressor lubricants, solvents, acids, and other chemicals.
High-Capacity Refrigerant-Cooled Compressed 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.
Non-cycling dryers run continuously to dry compressed air, so they’re best for applications with a constant need for dry air.

High-Capacity Refrigerant-Cooled Compressed
Air Dryers with Filters for Particle Removal
These all-in-one dryers with filters eliminate the need for individual dryers and filters. They cool air through refrigeration to condense water vapor for removal. Because they are non-cycling and run continuously, they are best for applications that need constant dry air. A float-operated drain valve opens automatically when the bowl begins to fill. After water removal, a heat exchanger raises the outlet air temperature to prevent condensation on downstream piping. The built-in display lets you monitor and adjust the dew point of the compressed air. Be sure to install in your air line after the compressor and separator.
