Important Desiccant Maintenance – Replacing Deliquescent Desiccant in your Compressed Air & Natural Gas Dryers

Have you replaced your Dry-O-Lite Deliquescent Desiccant within the last 6 months? If the answer is no, you should replace the Dry-O-Lite Desiccant in your compressed air dryer. Not doing so could affect your compressed air dryer performance and lead to a catastrophic failure downstream.  Every 30-60 days you should be adding a 1/3 of your Dry-O-Lite desiccant back into your Deliquescent Compressed Air Dryer through the hatch cover. If desiccant sits in the dryer vessel for too long without dissolving from constant use the desiccant tablets could become brittle, deconstruct and lose their potency. Emptying your dryer vessel and refilling it with fresh deliquescent desiccant will increase your performance and eliminate the possibility of failures downstream.

If you are in need of Deliquescent desiccant, you can contact your local distributor or shop online at shop.vanairsystems.com.
