Air Intake Moisture Filter for YH Compressor

[USAFANG6799]

Anyone know if a Air Intake Moisture Filter is available for the YH Compressor?
Or has anyone built one?
Thinking it would help to remove some of the moisture in the air before it goes into the compressor.

Many thanks!

I built one with a canning jar.  Not sure how effective it is, but the beads change from blue to pink as it's running, so I'm sure its removing some moisture from the air being drawn into the compressor.

Never though about using a canning jar. Now that's innovation!
No concern about fine particles from the crystals getting into the intake of the compressor?

I was thinking about using 13X molecular sieve but noticed it's quite dusty when pouring it.

I have some cloth material on the end of the tube that goes to the compressor so it filters any dust and keeps the desiccant beads out of the air tube.  Not real sophisticated, but it seems to work.

Thought about using cloth but wasn't sure if it was enough filtration. I might be over thinking this though.

Brilliant!!!! Going to copy this

Paul, what is the thread size of the head intake hole?  How about one of those clear plastic inline fuel filters between the mason jar and the head intake to filter the air? Or one of these:   https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-Compact-Air-Filter-68230.html Is this one's 40-micron capability small enough?

I think it's a standard ⅜" plumbing fitting.  The connector I used is nylon, so the threads probably molded to the threads in the compressor if they weren't.

The head on my Vevor compressor was taped M12x1.25 for the intake.

Go to "Chinese High Side Filter Hack" thread. The members there say that moisture filter on the intake side is minimally effective. Better to setup a dryer filter on the high pressure side.

You can confirm the effectiveness of this hack. If there is still moisture when you open the bleed valves after filling your tank, then it is not doing what it is suppose to do.

Great find!
Many thanks for sharing.
Will go check it out.
