Many air compressors come with an integrated aftercooler. With this built in equipment, up to 70% of humidity is converted into water before it's drained. Depending on your application, you may need to add additional aftercoolers.

Aftercoolers are generally efficient, and ensure no loss of air pressure when connected to your compressor. In addition, they usually don't add demand or extra energy costs.

If you're working in a high heat environment, you'll likely need extra cooling. In situations such as this, it's recommended to add dryers to your downstream setup. However, with an aftercooler, you can get a smaller-sized dryer.

When aftercoolers are water-cooled, cooling water and air flow are pumped in opposite directions to maintain a dry environment.

With air-cooled aftercoolers, an electric fan pushes cool air between fins to push out the water vapor. This process uses low energy.

Both these types come with a drain to ensure moisture gets properly removed. Newer models built with the latest efficiency standards in mind aim to keep your operational costs low.

Also, most manufacturers build aftercoolers with durable materials like stainless steel. These elements ensure a long lifetime of use, and make for easy cleaning and maintenance. 

Like with any air compressor equipment, the aftercooler you need depends on how much air pressure is generated/needed. Generally, air-cooled models are good for applications with low air flow, while water-cooled models support higher capacities.
