To all ammrlers:
I have received quite a bit of replies on this topic.
First and foremost, I would like to thank the following people for their suggestions and comments:
L. S. Mombasalwal, Jerry Hirschinger, John M. Kaiser, Neil E. Jacobsen, Sebastian Kemper, Dee-Hua Huang, Daniel Plant, Mark Swanson, Andrew Fowler, Josh Kurutz, Richard Shoemaker and Bill Stevens.
To sum up, even in arid weather like Utah, some sort of compressed air drying system is still highly recommended, particularly with low VT experiments. If one can't afford several Ks of getting one, one can use N2 gas to get around for low VT experiments.
I have attached a pdf file which lists all the responses. Also, for those who are interested in knowing more about the air supply system for NMR, Josh has put out a wonderful review at

His is over 20 pages, and mine only 4 pages :)
Hope you guys have a good time at ENC.
Once again, thanks for all your help.
Best,

Subject: ammrl: Air Dryer
Hi all,
We, the department, are in the process of installing a new 500. One of my concerns is to put an air dryer. Because of the dry weather here in Utah, I would appreciate to hear from those in the Rocky area about:
1. What kind of air dryer they use or would suggest?
2. Does anyone even take a chance by not using one?
Thanks in advance,
Simon
