Hello Everyone,

I am having problems with moisture in my compressed air supply. I would be
very interested in speaking to anyone who has constructed a compressed air
dryer. Links to any relevant web site would also be appreciated.

I found a cheap and very effective method after ruining a nice lacquer
paint job on my brother's car.

Go to a HVAC shop and ask for a used but good AC evaporator, an "A"
type. Just solder copper fittings on it and place between the
compressor and your air/water separator. Works *great*! In this case
I would actually plumb it so the condensant will run towards the
separator/filter.

Sounds like a great idea... I will give it a try.

I use it without a fan but if you've got a lot of water or use it for
extended run times you might add a fan to help cooling. Even though
the compressor tank gets hot I've never had the outlet of the
evaporator get even noticably warm.

I've never had water in the line since I installed the coil. I
actually scavanged it from my father who was having his AC replaced in
his home.
