An air compressor dryer helps to clear away dust, water droplets, gas and oil that might be clogged or stuck in electronic equipment, which can cause problems.
The air conditioner/compressor sits on the front passenger side on top of the fender. Remove the water reservoir and then you can disconnect and remove the air compressor. I do not know yet how to remove the air dryer as I cannot see how to remove the air lines from the dryer. I did remove the dryer from the compressor though, by removing a single screw then turning the 1/4 turn and pulling it out of the compressor....so at worst I will be able to put my new compressor in with the old dryer.
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.
The air conditioner dryer in your Ford Explorer, is located on the top of the air conditioner compressor. The dryer should be labeled.
Because it doesn't produce air to begin with. The air exists in the atmosphere, and is compressed by a compressor.
It depends on where it is leaking. You can just buy a rebuilt dryer from Suncore Industries for $30.00.
Air compressor/ dryer assembly is located in front of the power steering reservoir underneath the removable plastic shield that covers the front part of the engine compartment.
Air compressor filters are on the intake side of the compressor motor to filter the air as it is brought in. Dryers are collection points that are drained daily as the compressor is hot when operating and moisture develops in the tank. Should drain the tank daily after use and the dryer should be installed in line before the gun.
Unless an air-dryer is installed, condensation will occur in air line. Drain condensation out of compressor daily.
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.

Hi, I have a 93 jeep grand Cherokee with 250,000 miles. I was quoted $650. 00 to have the compressor and dryer replaced. I did the labor(30min) and the shop recharged it for around $370. This also included the compressor, dryer and o ring kit. Thanks, Mo
It is recommend, my air bags finally went out on my 01 Expy and I just replaced them with a new after market set from Suncore Industies. They highly recommended replacement of the dryer. It will extened the life of the air compressor. I replaced the air dryer being I still had my original OEM. The entire job was easy to do and everthing works great.
