Industrial Pneumatic Technology: Aftercoolers, Driers, and Receivers

Air compressors are used in industry to store compressed air or inert gases, which can then be used to power air motors, cylinders, and other pneumatic devices. Clean, dry air is essential for pneumatic systems to function properly, so it is important to remove moisture and contaminants to ensure optimum performance of the system. In this interactive online course, we will identify some components of air compressors, including aftercoolers, dryers, receivers, and air distribution systems.
