Van Air Systems Dry-O-Lite Desiccant Bags (50 lb) | Part Number 33-0311
Product Description
Keep moisture under control without the need for electricity using the Van Air Systems Dry-O-Lite® Desiccant Bags, Part Number 33-0311. Each 50 lb bag contains genuine Dry-O-Lite® deliquescent desiccant tablets, the industry standard for dependable, low-cost compressed air drying in single tower deliquescent dryers.
Engineered specifically for Van Air Systems D-Series compressed air dryers and PLD pipeline dryers, Dry-O-Lite tablets gradually absorb water vapor from saturated compressed air or natural gas. As moisture is absorbed, the tablet slowly dissolves into a brine solution that drains from the dryer, continuously exposing fresh desiccant until the material is completely consumed.
Unlike refrigerated or regenerative desiccant dryers, Dry-O-Lite requires no electricity, no moving parts, and minimal maintenance, making it an ideal solution for remote installations, portable compressors, and facilities looking to reduce operating costs. In a properly sized dryer, Dry-O-Lite establishes approximately 55% relative humidity, providing up to 20°F of dew point suppression below the inlet air temperature while preventing condensation and protecting downstream equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dryers are compatible with Van Air Systems Dry-O-Lite Desiccant Part Number 33-0311?
Dry-O-Lite Part Number 33-0311 is designed specifically for Van Air Systems D-Series single tower compressed air dryers and PLD natural gas pipeline dryers. Using the correct OEM deliquescent desiccant ensures optimal moisture removal and reliable dryer performance.
How much dew point suppression can Dry-O-Lite desiccant provide?
When installed in a properly sized Van Air dryer, Dry-O-Lite provides up to 20°F dew point suppression below the inlet compressed air temperature. Performance varies based on inlet temperature, humidity, airflow, and operating conditions.
How often should Dry-O-Lite desiccant be replaced?
Because Dry-O-Lite tablets gradually dissolve as they absorb moisture, replacement intervals depend on compressor run time, humidity, and air consumption. Regular inspections help ensure the dryer maintains consistent moisture removal before the desiccant is fully consumed.
Can Dry-O-Lite operate without electricity?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Dry-O-Lite is its energy-free operation. There are no heaters, controls, or regeneration cycles, making it a dependable solution for remote facilities, portable compressors, and locations where electrical power is limited.
Is Dry-O-Lite better than a refrigerated air dryer?
Both technologies serve different applications. Dry-O-Lite is an excellent choice for facilities seeking a low-cost, maintenance-friendly compressed air dryer with no electrical requirements, while refrigerated dryers are generally preferred for continuous high-volume production environments requiring a constant pressure dew point.
What industries use Dry-O-Lite desiccant tablets?
Dry-O-Lite is commonly used in manufacturing plants, abrasive blasting, paint booths, portable air compressor systems, ready-mix concrete facilities, woodworking operations, and natural gas drying applications. It is especially valuable anywhere moisture causes corrosion, freeze-ups, or product quality issues.
What happens to the Dry-O-Lite tablets during operation?
Dry-O-Lite tablets absorb water vapor from the compressed air stream and slowly dissolve into a brine solution that drains from the dryer. This self-renewing process continually exposes fresh desiccant until all material has been consumed.
Does Dry-O-Lite help protect compressed air equipment?
Absolutely. Removing excess moisture helps reduce rust, corrosion, frozen air lines, sticking pneumatic valves, contaminated paint finishes, and premature wear on downstream equipment. Maintaining dry compressed air also improves overall system reliability and reduces maintenance costs.
