After Cooler

Aftercoolers are heat exchangers that remove the heat from compressed air. The most common compressor aftercoolers use much cooler ambient air or cool water to remove the heat, which is also effective in removing moisture from compressed air. Aftercoolers remove moisture / water vapor in compressed air systems by cooling the air below its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into liquid form. Moisture, either vapor or condensed in compressed air systems can cause considerable damage to distribution equipment and or the final product.
