Understanding Compressed Air Dryer

Posted: 07 Sep 2010 09:34 AM PDT

Compressed air dryers are often used for various industrial and commercial services and facilities. It is an equipment used to remove water vapor out of compressed air. The process in which air compression is used allows the concentration of atmospheric contaminants. A compressed air dryer raise the dew point of the air, making the air relative to atmospheric air. The air condensation within the pipes happens as the compressed air cools down in the compressed air dryer.

The excess water during the process of air compression turns back either to liquid form or to vapor phase. This process of conversion can actually cause a lot of operation issues to users of compressed air. It can actually cause freezing of air lines, fouling of the products and equipment corrosion.

There are different kinds of compressed air dryers and are classified according to their use. Regenerative desiccant dryer, which is also referred to as twin tower dryers or regens is one popular type. Other types of air compressed dryers are refrigerated dryers, membrane dryers and deliquescent dryers. Water vapor is removed in the air when using a compressed air dryer to prevent condensation and to avoid the presence of moisture that can interfere in sensitive industrial operations. If you are in need of more industrial equipments such as Hydraulic rams and Pneumatic valves, these tools can easily be bought online for your convenience.
