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.

If you dry the air going into the compressor, you'll have dry air in
the storage tank. The compressor doesn't create water.
