Turbo desiccant air dryers are a type of desiccant-based dryer. As desiccants become saturated with the moisture removed from compressed air, it is important to purge that moisture to regenerate the desiccant and preserve its ability to dry. Blowing compressed air through the desiccant is a common way to purge moisture. Turbo desiccant air dryers boost pressure during the purge cycle of an air dryer providing it with increased speed and capacity to strip away as much moisture and compressor blow-by as possible.
