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 dryer module fluidically coupled with each of the single cooling medium header and the storage tank, the dryer module configured to direct a portion of cooling medium received from the single cooling medium header past a stream of compressed air to condense at least a portion of moisture held in the stream of compressed air, the dryer module configured to direct the portion of cooling medium back to the storage tank.
