Correct answer
The system’s air dryer.
The air dryer removes moisture from compressed air when maintained according to the manufacturer. Follow reservoir inspection and drainage instructions too. Injecting arbitrary antifreeze or alcohol must not be recommended for every circuit: some systems have specific devices, but products and procedures depend on the equipment and manufacturer. Do not confuse this system’s compressed air with hydraulic-circuit fluid or a refrigeration expansion valve.
