Aftercoolers typically remove about 70% of the water vapour from  compressed air, if they are correctly sized to do the job. Aftercoolers  can be air or water cooled. Aftercoolers can only cool the compressed  air to within a few degrees of the cooling medium (air or water). To  size an aftercooler properly a number of considerations and readings  must be taken from the proposed site. Your Southern Cross Engineer is  best able to take these readings and recommend a model suited to YOUR  application.
