How do you find out how to match an air dryer to the air compressor that you are using?

Ask the air dryer technical sales people for their recommendations.

The information should be available off the manufacturer's website documentation, manual, application notes, etc.

If not, contact the air dryer manufacturer for their advice.

You will need to size the unit to compressor and to your plant air system. Meaning. is the load on your compressor low enough to add a dryer to it. Are you considering Desiccant or refrigerant style units. Lots of questions, you will need to contact a sales person for such systems in your area and have them help you answer these question. So you get a system that works properly in the end and not wasting time or money.

the prevailing humidity is only one of many factors you need know to correctly size a dryer.
