Compressed Air Contains Contaminants Including Water or Moisture


A Dryer can remove moisture from compressed air to a certain degree of dryness and this is referred to as pressure dew point. Different types of dryers can achieve different dew points and, for the most part, the drier air needs to be, the more expensive it is to dry. (The obvious exception to this is the Atlas Copco MD Series heat of compression dryer that uses the energy of a 100 watt light bulb, yet achieves incredibly low pressure dew points.)

Gulf Atlantic Equipment Company is proud to offer the finest dryers on Earth, properly applied and competitively priced.

• Refrigerated Dryers condense the moisture out of the air and drain it away as liquid. They are limited to about 35° F because the water would freeze if it got any colder.

Desiccant Dryers adsorb the moisture in the compressed air and remove it while still suspended as vapor. They are typically applied at about -40° F, but can get to -100 and below.

Membrane Dryers use permeability to separate the moisture from the air and can also achieve low dew points.

And the list goes on. The selection is made on personal preference, the dryness required, and cost, which should include operating and electrical or utility costs.
