Morphology

refrigerant + dryer

The compound is directly compositional: a 'refrigerant dryer' is a dryer that uses a refrigerant/refrigeration process to remove moisture. Even if 'dryer' is most often used for clothes, the modifier 'refrigerant' makes the device function clear, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Refrigerant dryer comes from what the machine does: a cold substance called a refrigerant cools the air so the dryer can make the water fall out as liquid. That's why the name means 'a machine that removes moisture from compressed air'.
