I have been reading about some home built air dryers for compressors. The commercial ones are way out of my price range. I have a water drain on my tank that I check before every use and I have drains and traps on the lines. The shop is fairly dry and heated so water is not a huge problem. The idea that I have seen a few different post and videos about uses a car/truck AC condenser coil the cool the air before it goes into the tank and has a trap where you can drain water in the line right after the coil and before the tank. Here is a video that shows a guys set up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAOuuaNuJUo
So my questions are:
Has anyone done this kind set up and if so how did it go?
Any safety issues you guys see with it? I know there are some really smart guys on here that know a lot about air pressure safety.
Is this worth the effort?
The theory behind it sounds good to me but that does not mean it will work. LOL
