Any of you other shop rats using a refrigerated dryer on your air?
Brand/model recommendations? Other dos and dont's?


We have an Ingersol Rand that can handle 1200 cfm. We run air 16 to 24 hours
a day constant use. Unless you have a good sized shop, refrigerated units
are expensive to buy and operate. The thermal mass is kept cold all the time
so for a weekender it is kind of silly to do that.


I'm talking about a shop, but no where near that cfm level. We do have a
couple of rather spendy machining centers, and the water in the air will
sooner or later destroy the spindles.
