Post by kbenz »

will this work? I have a small dorm fridge not being used. could I run a 50ft rubber airline in a bucket of water in the fridge to cool the air then have a separator on the line coming out. Yes I am cheap (and low on cash) but need dryer air. if not rubber air line how bout pex? any other ideas? Tryin to use what I have

thanks

I have 50 feet of PVC line coming out of my air compressor, running up and along a ceiling beam, then returning to my dessicant dryer, then the plasma cutter. Seemed to work okay for me if I drained the compressor and line before cutting.

Recently bought a dryer and a one of those filters with what looks like toilet paper, between the dessicant and the plasma cutter. My cuts seem to have improved, but that was an additional + $600 expense.
