The '''After Cooling Dryers''' are the cheapest form of removal of condensate (water  vapour that has condensed back to water) from compressed  air. Aftercoolers are not normally needed on new compressors as most new  machines are fitted with them as standard. However, some are undersized  for Australian conditions and in certain circumstances you may need an  additional aftercooler in your compressed air system.

Aftercoolers operate similar to a radiator in your car. The name  suggests exactly what an Aftercooler does.  An Aftercooler cools  compressed air and condenses the vapour back to water. It is then  removed by a condensate separator after the air has been compressed. Once it has been separated, the condensate is delivered to an oil/water separator  for safe disposal. Delivering cool, dry air to your factory is required  so that you do not wreck equipment or the products you are working on  or manufacturing.

Water vapour that is in the air gets heated up and turned to steam  whilst it is being compressed. As soon as it touches your cold pipework  it condenses back into liquid water. An aftercooler makes the cooling  happen in a predetermined place, making the separation and removal of  water easy.
