I bought a used compressed air dryer for $10 last weekend. Tried it
and found that it was working, since the outgoing air was cold and the
release valve was functioning. My question is about capacity. This
dryer uses about 264 watts of power, according to my wattmeter
(kill-a-watt). Is that enough for a 3 honest HP compressor. Thanks.

1 HP/hour == 745.7 watt/hour

But, um... how many watts does it take to dry air?? I dunno.
