I fashioned this intake dessicant air filter. It should work fine. It has an easy draw. Now all I have to do is find the correct hose barb to put on the compressor What your looking at is a 'tool' that is used to clean fish tank gravel. I put a wad of air conditioner filter media at the bottom filled it with dessicant, and capped the top of with another piece of the filter media.Once I get the hose barb I will update this thread 20190217_131549 by Tom Whit, on Flickr
TomQuestion for you,Will your filter handle the psi values involved, what is the pressures involved for the intake?Tia,Don
I was also wondering, just how do I know the 'gold' filter is actually working? I mean I can run some air out and feel it with my fingers and it seems dry but that is not a very quantitative test
Yea that thought did cross my mind. But I thought I would try something a little out of the box.Since we often have days here with RH in excess of 80% I thought it would not hurt and might even help.But of course it did not work. That may be one of the reasons compressors don't have dryers on the intake with the exception of some refrigerated dryers I have seen.I was also wondering, just how do I know the 'gold' filter is actually working?
