Compressor moisture mitigation.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but here is where I currently stand.
After weeks of fabrication, fudging and de-leaking, I installed my 5 HP, 30 gal. oil-less compressor in my equipment shed.
I also installed an automatic drain that appears to be dripping wet after starting.
However, I’m still getting water out of the hose, into the tools.
What I was thinking lately is installing a chiller inline, between the pump and the tank.
I have several of them between 1K and 1500BTU, that are capable of freezing water.
Obviously, I don’t want to do that.
The questions I have are what temperature should I set it at?
Should it be located above or below the compressor.
Would I want to install the auto-drain at the chiller outlet?
