Would there be any benefit to running a pipe from inside the house, where the air is dry due to it being air-conditioned, and feeding the compressor intake filter from there?
My thinking is that if I'm pulling air that's around 60% relative humidity rather than 80 to 90% relative humidity (North Florida) It would produce less water in the tank. It would also help pull air that's not contaminated with paint fumes into the compressor. I have an after-cooler and water separator on my compressor, between the pump and the tank, which drops the charge down to around room temperature at the tank inlet and removes quite a bit of water. This is in a two-car garage.
Has anyone tried this?
Am I wasting my time?
Is it even worth investigating?
