Did the Freon AC units of the 50s dry out air like modern ones do, and if so why?

490 viewsOtherPhysics

I read an article today that said that modern AC units require a dryer built into them as HFC refrigerants like R-134a absorb water, whereas old Freon AC units did not require a dryer. Does this mean that AC units from the 50s did not dry out the air like modern ones do?

It is not possible to make AC that doesn’t dry out air. Cold air is inherently drier than hot air.
