Refrigerated dryers are devices used in compressed air systems to remove moisture from the air. They work by cooling the compressed air, which causes water vapor to condense into liquid water. This liquid is then collected and drained away, preventing moisture from damaging equipment or affecting processes. These dryers are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing and food processing, where clean, dry air is essential. By maintaining low humidity levels, refrigerated dryers help improve the efficiency and longevity of air-powered tools and machinery, ensuring optimal performance in operations that rely on compressed air systems.
