Air water separation in compressed air systems works by removing moisture from the air after it has been compressed. When air is compressed, its temperature rises and it holds more water vapor. As it cools, the vapor condenses into liquid water. Air water separation devices such as moisture separators, condensate drains, and refrigerated or desiccant dryers are used to eliminate this water from the system. Effective air water separation helps prevent corrosion, protects tools and equipment, and ensures high-quality air output.
