Abstract
A compressed air dryer includes a base and a 'spin-on' desiccant cannister which is retained on the base through a threaded connection. Accordingly, when the desiccant within the cannister which drys the air must be replaced, the cannister is removed from the housing by rotating the cannister relative to the housing, and is replaced accordingly by a new cannister.
