I live in the Appalachian "plateau" in East Kentucky. It is VERY HUMID here year round. I do not keep my shop at a controlled temp. I chose to use a desiccant system. It works when refrigerated dryer does not. It has no moving parts and is easily maintained.
I bought the ATD 5 stage 1 gallon desiccant air filter system from Amazon. It has been totally awesome. I ONLY use it for my plasma cutter and have ZERO issues EVER. I use the orange "Dry and Dry" brand dessicant. It came with blue and when the blue became saturated from HOURS of die grinder use, i replaced with the orange. It can be microwaved on defrost in small quantities to "reactivate". It is good for a couple reuses Ive found.
This was the simplest and most affordable option I could find with the largest desiccant capacity I could find. Hope this helps!
