Compressed Air Dryer - Save on this Compressed Air Dryer

But it way alot cheaper 8 years ago. I have not done a thing to it. It worked right out of the box. Every so often i drain it, and cant believe all the water it traps

Plus one on the recommendation for buying a refrigerated air dryer.

Years ago I allowed my farm mechanic to build our own dryer using a trans cooler, truck air dryer and small storage tank.

It works flawlessly, and is wired and plumbed to eject collected moisture each time it cycles. While it has been trouble free and provides DRY air for over 10 years I truly believe I would have been further ahead spending a few dollars MORE for a manufactured dryer unit.

I bought this Atlas Copco new in the late 1970’s and the day it packs
It in my dryer investment will be nothing but a few used parts and fittings.

If I had a store bought dryer I would simply hook it up to the new compressor.



I rate this up there with one of my dumber moves.
