Reducing moisture content of compressed air

摘要

A system and method for removing moisture from compressed air with the system having a membrane for passage of water vapor therethrough while preventing the flow of air therethrough and a diverter for diverting and reducing the pressure of a portion of the compressed air to enable the air at a reduced pressure to flow past one side of the membrane while the compressed air flows by the opposite side of the membrane to allow water vapor from the compressed air to pass through the membrane to the compressed air at the reduced pressure thereby providing for on-the-go reduction of amount of moisture in the compressed air.
