How do you filter moisture in the air?
Remove Moisture from Compressed Air (Dry Compressed Air) The most effective way to remove moisture from compressed air lines is via filtration. Specially-designed filters installed in pneumatic systems will remove moisture and contaminants from pneumatic systems.
How does a desiccant filter work?
The general working principle of desiccant air dryers is simple: moist air flows over hygroscopic material (desiccant) and is thereby dried. The exchange of water vapor from the moist compressed air into the desiccant causes the desiccant to gradually be saturated with adsorbed water.
How do you build a desiccant dehumidifier?
Here’s how to make a DIY silica gel dehumidifier.
- Collect a jar with a lid, a screwdriver, and silica gel.
- Use the screwdriver to make holes in the lid of the jar.
- Fill the jar with silica gel and screw back on the lid.
- Replace the silica gel every few weeks for the best results.

Gather the sides of the filter up and around the loose silica gel. Secure the coffee filter closed with a rubber band.
How do you measure desiccant?
The International Plastics resource offers a chart for desiccant measurements. Pour the desired amount of loose silica gel into the measuring container. Note the increase in weight measurement on the scale to determine when to stop pouring in the silica gel. Loose silica gel is available in the floral aisle of most craft stores.
How do you dry out desiccants before reuse?
Just heat in a 250F oven for 45 minutes. Many silica gel products have indicator crystals that turn pink when saturated and are blue when dry. This is how you can tell when you need to dry them out before reuse. Now we tend to think of silica gel as the go-to desiccant but there are a whole lot of other options out there.
