Abstract
This chapter provides information of dried air systems. This system involves processing the compressed air or gas after the aftercooler and receiver to further reduce the moisture content. This requires special equipment, a higher first cost and a higher operating cost. These costs must be balanced against the gains obtained. They may show up as the less wear and maintenance of tools and air-operated devices, the greater reliability of devices and controls, and greater production as a result of fewer outages for repairs. In many cases, the reduction or elimination of product spoilage or a better product quality may also result. The desired degree of drying will vary with the pneumatic equipment and application involved. The aim is to eliminate further condensation in the airlines and pneumatic tools or devices. The chapter also outlines the three general methods of drying compressed air: chemical, adsorption, and refrigeration.
