On a related question... why are air dryers placed after the
compressor and not before it?

Remember, "Willie, The Actor" Sullivan, a bank robber of some notarity.

When asked, "Willie, why do you rob banks?"

He answered, "Because that's where they keep the money."

Why put a dryer after the compressor, because that is where the water is.
