Wet Compressed Air

Addressing the question of Wet Compressed Air.

Having problems with “wet” compressed air?
Darwin’s warm and humid tropical climate means that compressed air will contain plenty of condensate unless proper dryer and filtration devices are installed to keep the supply of compressed air moisture free.

Today's modern industry can no longer tolerate the problems of wet, dirty compressed air. Wet air causes rust, pitting, blockages, with resultant component failure and product rejection. Wet air is a major contributor of downtime, causing millions of dollars of lost production. Compressed air must be dried.

The cost of wet air varies with each and every application. However, the cost of wet air is always many times greater than the cost of a dryer. Compressed air dryers pay for themselves, many times over, by increasing production, reducing down time and adding to your bottom line.

The tough question you have to answer is which type of dryer.
Although CAPS offer refrigerated, desiccant and deliquescent dryers, refrigerated dryers are the most cost effective for over 90% of applications.
