What is a Refrigerated Air Dryer?
The most typical style of compressed air drying is the refrigerator dryer. They effectively condense out the moisture in a controlled setting by chilling the air to around 3 °C (38 °F) and removing water vapour from the air stream. A refrigerated air drier operates by cooling the air, as the name suggests (like a refrigerator). The dryer receives the warm, humid air, and cools it down to roughly 3 degrees Celsius. The air's remaining water vapour turns into liquid water. A water-trap is then used to extract the liquid water from the compressed air.
