WHY WATTS DESICCANT DRYERS?
Watts Fluid-Air desiccant dryers are the simplest and most reliable method of insuring your sensitive pneumatic equipment is not exposed to damaging moisture. When air is compressed, the temperature of the air is increased as is its capacity to hold moisture. As the hot moist air travels downstream through the lines, it cools, allowing the moisture to condense. After coolers, filters, drain traps, and drip legs are effective for removing liquid condensate. But for removing residual water vapor and aerosols, use the Watts Fluid-Air Desiccant Dryer. PERFORMANCE The flow capacities in the table are nominal ratings provided for reference. These capacities are recommended for minimal pressure drop and average desiccant life. A supply of low flow/low humidity air will provide longer desiccant life; where as high flow/high humidity air will require more frequent desiccant changes. Installed in an application with intermittent flow, Watts desiccant dryers will typically dry air for weeks befor
