1. A system for circulating a cooling medium to condense moisture held in compressed air, the system comprising:
a storage tank configured to hold a cooling medium in a fluid state within an interior of the storage tank;
a first circulation pump fluidically coupled to the storage tank;
a second circulation pump fluidically coupled to the storage tank;
a single cooling medium header fluidically coupled with each of the first circulation pump and the second circulation pump;
a first dryer module fluidically coupled with each of the single cooling medium header and the storage tank, the first dryer module configured to direct a first portion of cooling medium received from the single cooling medium header past a first stream of compressed air to condense at least a portion of moisture held in the first stream of compressed air, the first dryer module configured to direct the first portion of cooling medium back to the storage tank; and
a second dryer module fluidically coupled with each of the single cooling medium header and the storage tank, the second dryer module configured to direct a second portion of cooling medium received from the single cooling medium header past a second stream of compressed air to condense at least a portion of moisture held in the second stream of compressed air, the second dryer module configured to direct the second portion of cooling medium back to the storage tank.
