'''Compressed Air Dryers''' are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities. The [[Air Dryers]] are used to remove water vapor from compressed air. | |||
The process of air compression concentrates atmospheric contaminants, including water vapor. This raises the dew point of the compressed air relative to free atmospheric air and leads to condensation within pipes as the compressed air cools downstream of the compressor. | The process of air compression concentrates atmospheric contaminants, including water vapor.

Excessive water in compressed air, in either the liquid or vapor phase, can cause a variety of operational problems for users of compressed air. These include freezing of outdoor air lines, corrosion in piping and equipment, malfunctioning of pneumatic process control instruments, fouling of processes and products, and more. | Excessive water in compressed air, in either the liquid or vapor phase, can cause a variety of operational problems for users of compressed air.
