Air Dryer: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The air dryer, attached to the compressor outlet, performs two system functions. The dryer contains a dry chemical that absorbs moisture from the air before it is delivered to the shocks. Moisture is removed from the chemical and returned to the air when system is being exhausted. The air dryer also contains a valving arrangement that maintains a minimum air pressure of 7-14 psi in the shocks.
