Semi truck air dryers remove moisture, oil, and contaminants from the system before they reach the air tanks/valves. This improves brake safety, and prevents frozen lines, rust, and valve failure.
If youâre noticing slow brake response, a significant drop in air pressure shown by your gauge sensor, or water/moisture in your air tankâit's time to inspect and replace the parts.
If not, expect to see:
- Over time, air dryers lose efficiency.
- Filters clog.
- Desiccant cartridges wear out.
- Valves can develop internal leaks or sluggish response times.
To maintain your truckâs air dryers, you should also replace cartridges every 12-24 months and performing routine inspections on heaters and valves to avoid costly downtime. You can grab the right replacement parts at 4 State Trucks.
