Default AIR LINES

I have seen cabinet shops which fabricated a labyrinth of pipe down
stream of their compessor to allow the moist compessed air some heat
transfer exposure to the ambient air thereby cooling it to below the
dew point. Seems an inexpensive way to improve the quality of air in
small woodworking shops.


Have posted a description of a shop air distribution system using 2"
pipe several times in the past.

Costs a few $ and takes a little time to install; however the rewards
are significant and include:

1) Cooler and drier air.
2) Increased storage capacity which allows longer off cycles for the
compressor which also helps produce drier air.
3) More uniform air pressure for longer periods delivered to the air tool.
