Any tips out there for dehumidifying air for a crushed glass blasting operation? Most of the moisture condenses in my compressor tank when it's cold so I'm fine for the first 20 minutes or so, but as the pump head and air tank start heating up warmer air makes it's way down my air hose and into my blasting gun. The result is a wet, sandy sneeze all over my parts and a clogged nozzle.
Should I look into constructing some sort of intercooler to help drop the air temperature? Or would a moisture trap placed right after a pressure regulator (drop in pressure = drop in temperature = condensed water) be more effective? Is a renewable desiccant something I should even consider for this application?
Thanks.
