ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for removing moisture from compressed gases such as compressed air, the appparatus being completely self contained and requiring no external power or energy source, nor any source of coolant medium, other than ambient air. The apparatus of the invention comprises a reservoir for containing a volume of liquid, and a heat exchanger connected to the reservoir located beneath the reservoir through which the liquid from the reservoir can circulate. The method of the invention comprises circulating compressed air through the heat exchanger to reduce the temperature of the compressed air and condense moisture therefrom, and circulating water through the heat exchanger from the reservoir to reduce the temperature of compressed air circulated through the heat exchanger.
