Air Dryer

The air dryer is an integral part of the air supply unit. The air dryer contains a desiccant which absorbs moisture. Pressurized air is passed through the air dryer which removes any moisture in the compressed air before it is passed to the reservoir and/or the system

When the air is exhausted from the system, the returning air is passed through the air dryer, regenerating the air dryer by removing moisture from the desiccant and expelling it to atmosphere via the exhaust.

The air dryer is an essential component in the system ensuring that only dry air is present in the system. If moist air is present in the system, freezing can occur, resulting in poor system operation or component malfunction/failure.
