Just been wondering today and hope someone can advise. I currently have my compressor plumbed into copper drop legs on the wall to try and remove moisture.
The air flows from the compressor at 150psi and the regulator is located at the end of the copper piping.
Is this the best way to do it having the air at full pressure running through the piping, or would fitting a regulator between the compressor and piping to drop the pressure thus cooling the air improve things or make it less effective?
I have a feeling it won't help as I suppose the air will be in the copper pipe for less time at a lower pressure.
I only need the air at relatively low pressure for spraying.
I have a gas bottle as extra storage connected between compressor and copper piping, it is currently T off so only one pipe for in/out of air, would it be worthwhile spearing the in and out connections end to end of the tank to try and get cooler air?
Thanks
