Air dryer question

[930dreamer]

I'm looking at an air dryer that is rated for 125 cfm, any problems using with a compressor that is rated for a quarter of that cfm or less? The price is right.

i don't have any real experience with this, but heres my thinking on it.

i highly doubt there is any damage u can do to the dryer, but the reason why it is rated or a certian cfm is to make it effective. with out that airflow... the dryer will not dry properly.

Of course it will. The only disadvantages I can think of are the extra space it will take up, and the extra electricity it will consume.

no issue with that. You'll just be ready for when you upgrade compressors.
