Show me your air line setup
I've been using my DA sander to remove several layers of paint. Outside air is at 91 F an 11:00 AM with about 65% humidity. DA consumes a lot of air. I have a 60 gal receiver with 5 HP compressor. This all sets me up for a lot of warm air making its way past the filter/seps, saturating my desicant bottle, and eventually discharging water at the tool head just because it makes it that far before it cools enough to condense the water vapor. I don't have this problem when the weather is not so extreme, but it will likely reach 95 F today and trouble ensues. I came up with this "radiator" system to try to solve it. Hope it works. Cool days are in the distant future for my neck of the woods.
