Engineering Principle
DRYCORE™ molecular-sieve desiccant adsorbs water vapor to protect valves, actuators, and pneumatic controls from corrosion and freeze events.
Control Strategy
Select air dryer filters by protected system, duty class, applicable standard, flow or airflow requirement, and service condition.
Operational Impact
Air Dryer Filters supports the contamination-control objective of the air intake domain.

Air Dryer Filters domain summary: Air-intake protection is a coordinated boundary-control system combining filtration media, housing integrity, sealing, airflow management, cabin protection, and compressed-air moisture control.
ELIMFILTERS air-intake protection coordinates MACROCORE™, INTEKCORE™, MICROKAPPA™, and DRYCORE™ around airflow, sealing, dust loading, operator exposure, and moisture-control requirements.
ISO 5011 is the primary reference for evaluating engine inlet air-cleaning performance, including efficiency, capacity, and restriction behavior.
The engineering objective is not only particle capture; it is controlled airflow with zero unfiltered bypass across the full service interval.
