Tech Tips: Dryers

To keep your air dyer operating efficiently...

Check the pressure – dryers remove moisture most efficiently at higher system pressure.

Check the temperature – air heats up during the compression process and cools as it moves downstream. The cooler the air before entering the dryer, the more efficiently the dryer operates.

Check ambient conditions – high ambient temperatures reduce the efficiency of an air-cooled dryer. The ambient temperatures should be less than 100o F.
