GLA Products’ unique in-line air/gas dryer system is engineered for easy desiccant change outs, longer life and lower pressure drop. The GDD Series is designed to remove water vapor and aerosols at point-of-use for intermittent flows up to 60 SCFM. Inline dryers do not require steady flow for constant dew point suppression. A color changing moisture indicator with visual
sight gauge indicates the desiccant needs replacement.

Why Inline Desiccant Dryers?
GDD desiccant dryers are the simplest and most reliable method of insuring your sensitive pneumatic equipment is not exposed to damaging moisture. When air is compressed, the temperature of air is increased as is its capacity to hold moisture. As the hot moist air travels downstream through the pipelines, it cools, allowing the moisture to condense. Aftercoolers, filters, drain traps and driplegs are effective for removing condensate. But for removing residual water vapor and aerosols, use the inline Desiccant Dryer.
How Do They Work?
As the wet compressed air flows through the inlet port and down through the bed of desiccant, the desiccant beads adsorb the water vapor and aerosols. The silica gel beads are so effective in adsorption, the air humidity can be reduced to a -40° F pressure dew point. Unless your compressed air is exposed to a temperature below the dew point, there will be no further condensation forming in your air lines.
After the moisture has been removed, the dry air passes through a sintered bronze element, up the center tube, and out the outlet port. As long as the desiccant is replaced regularly, your equipment will receive ultra dry, moisture-free air.
