Normal atmosphere contains moisture in varying percentages, ie humidity. When a given volume of air is compressed, the moisture is "compressed" with it. The dryer removes the wetness so that the air pressure is constant and contamination free.

How do you avoid moisture in compressed air line?
Install an air line dryer.
What is the purpose of a compresser in a pneumatic system?
Compressed air production.
What is an air chamber?
An air chamber is a chamber in a hydraulic system in which air is compressed to regulate the flow of a fluid.
What is a pneumatic braking system?
Pneumatic braking system utilizes compressed air to stop the motion in vehicles.
What is the main function of a reciprocating compressor?
To provide moisture free compressed air to a pneumatic system that operates pneumatic motors.
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
What do compressed air dryers do?
A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.
How do you avoid moisture in compressed air line?
Install an air line dryer.
How computer system unit clean?
Compressed air. Most people have to use cans of air, but I have an air compressor with an air dryer on it. It will blow FAR more dust out of a computer than a can of air will.
Do all compressors work with an airbrush?
Yes, all you need to run an airbrush is compressed air. You might need a regulator and air dryer, but compressed air is universal.
What is an air dryer and what is it used for?
An air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Normally you find them in industrial or commercial buildings or areas. Compressed air with water vapor can cause many problems like freezing outdoor lines and corrode equipment.
Compressed air dryers are different then the regular dryer in what way?
Compressed air dryers are different that regular dryers in the sense that the regular dryers use a type of gas. Compressed air is much safer for the environment.
What is the reason that air dryer can not produce their air?
Because it doesn't produce air to begin with. The air exists in the atmosphere, and is compressed by a compressor.
How does a air dryer on a truck work?
The compressor compresses air and send it to either a wet tank or directly to the air dryer. Oil and moisture in the compressed air are absorbed by the desiccant in the air dryer canister. When the compressor signals cut out, it also send a signal to the dryer to open the purge valve, which purges the canister.
Is it necessery to put air dryer in pneumatic system?
Yes, if the downstream instruments or equipment is sensitive to moisture. Air is heated when it is compressed. As the air cools liquid moisture condenses out. In addition to an air dryer, a manual or timed automatic tank drain is usually installed to periodically drain trapped moisture in the receiver or tank.
Why use a compressed air dryer?
To keep oil and moisture from getting to the component(s) being operated.
Why do clouds disappear with high air pressure?
In a high pressure system air sinks and is compressed. As the air is compressed it heats up, which can cause clouds to evaporate.
