Jun 03, 2021 Jun 03, 2021 Compressed air that has dwell time in the tank will be cooled by natural heat loss, with water loss in the receiver beginning the drying process, and with already-cooler air entering the dryer as a result. That is better for the dryer efficiency, in my opinion. I do not know if that provides a benefit in your case though

In desiccant dryers, large quantities of compressed air can be lost when a valve on the dryer fails (in addition to purge air, stripping air, and cooling air losses). In some plants that have sufficient online backup compressor capacity, these losses can go unnoticed. In other plants, they create production outages that cost millions
