Refrigerated vs. Desiccant Air Dryers: Which Type Should You Choose?

Choosing the right air dryer for an air compressor is crucial for maintaining optimal air quality in your industrial applications. This video helps you decide between refrigerated and desiccant air dryers.
Understanding the Difference:
- Refrigerated Air Dryers: Cool air to +3 °C, remove moisture, then reheat air.
- Desiccant Air Dryers: Use desiccant materials to trap water, offering ultra-dry air with a -40 °C dew point.
Comparison Points:
- Application: Refrigerated dryers use refrigerant heat exchangers; desiccant dryers use desiccant beds.
- Cost: Refrigerated dryers have low costs; desiccant dryers offer advanced drying and ultra-low dew points.
- Dew Point: Desiccant dryers achieve lower dew points than refrigerated dryers.
