Air Dryer Description

The air dryer is attached to the air compressor head assembly at the pressure outlet and provides a dual function:
1. It contains a moisture-absorbing chemical (desiccant) that absorbs moisture from the compressed air before it is delivered to the rear shocks. Moisture is removed from the air dryer and returned to the atmosphere when air is exhausted out of the shocks during lowering.
2. It contains valving that maintains a system pressure (residual pressure) of 48 - 97 kPa (7 - 14 psi). This system pressure is maintained for improved ride characteristics and improved air sleeve reliability.
