Sizing a Dryer
You need to match the volume (cfm - l/min) of the compressor to the flow of the dryer.
Rule of thumb when selecting, you can go bigger, but never smaller, if the air volume is too large, the dryer cannot reduce the air temperature down

Water Contamination
Due to there being moisture in the air, there will be moisture in your air system.
Heat is generated during compression and to make things simple we can say that the moisture is vapour (steam) when in this state the vapour will bypass to a large degree any filters you put in your system
What we require, is condensation to take place by cooling, to some degree, due to tanks being a large surface area, this can happen there, and a simple filter installed, but if the air flow is constant, then another way is required that is more efficient.
This is when you require a refrigerant dryer, especially when paint spraying, or running CNCs, this is just like your home fridge, but instead of keeping your food cold, it reduces the air temperature to 3-5 degrees ambient, once the vapour becomes a solid matter i.e. water droplets, it can be removed by a filter
Dryers only remove Water Contamination, for Oil Removal you will need an Additional Filter to 0.01 Micron
