Air dryers
Need to get an air dryer for my Istobal. Not talking about a moisture trap. These things can cost around $2K. The air cards in this machine do NOT like moisture. Anyone here have a recommendation? Thanks

You can build your own dryer easily. I used a transmission oil cooler. I mounted it to a piece of plywood, and placed an electric fan on the backside. When the compressor runs, the fan runs. This results in the hot (compressed) air being cooled, and the moisture in the hot air condenses. The condensed water runs out the bottom into a self emptying trap/drain. I've been using this setup for over 10 years with zero issues. All of my compressed air/water issues vanished.
