All materials can adsorb and desorb water, only the degree of adsorption is different per material. Desiccant used in adsorption dryers is specifically designed to adsorb moisture. Desiccants can release the water particles by adding some form of energy to them. This is called regeneration.
Untreated compressed air always contains water. As water is incompressible, the amount of moisture per volume increases when air is compressed. The maximum amount of moisture per volume of air (the so-called holding capacity of moisture in the air) is however limited for a certain temperature. Condensation forms when air is compressed.
Refrigerated air dryers use the same cooling principle as typical home air conditioning units. Pneumatech offers long-lasting corrosion protection to the condenser and refrigerant piping without affecting heat transfer and pressure drop. The heat conductive pigmentation in the coating creates a very high chemical resistance at a low layer thickness making it the best available option to prevent refrigeration dryer failure and unnecessary energy consumption.
