[QUOTE="ToledoDan, post: 707180, member: 13704"] just picked up a new compressor. just the 30 gallon/110V Kobalt from Lowe's since I did not want to run 220V to my garage and all I use it for primarily is running an 1/2" drive impact, air ratchet and airing up tires and occasional die grinder. I have a 20amp plug, so it should be fine. down here in humid SE Houston it seems like some days my old compressor spit out more water than compressed air. :****: I am thinking about running a auxiliary 20 gallon tank for more air reserve. after the auxiliary tank, a 1/2" PVC pipe system running up and down my garage wall incorporating 5 U's with a PVC ball valve at the bottom of each one. This will give me cooling at both tanks, and about 80+ ft PVC pipe for cooling to condense the water out. My major concern is Will the PVC allow enough cooling to actually allow the water to condense out of the air? Or is it worth the extra coin/tim to go with a threaded steel pipe system for better heat transfer? [/QUOTE]
