ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for filtering compressed air has an inlet to admit a flow of compressed air, a filter where the compressed air is cooled and water vapor is coalesced therefrom, an area downstream of the filter where the compressed air is passively warmed when the temperature of the surroundings is higher than the compressed air passing therethrough, and an outlet for discharging the flow of compressed air. The compressed air is passively warmed in the area downstream of the filter in order to increase its moisture retaining capacity. This is done to inhibit or reduce condensation of water from the compressed air which would otherwise cause corrosion in airlines, valves, and pneumatically operated devices through which the compressed air travels.
