Foremen taking a donut break
In the back ground is my recently purchased 60 gallon 3 hp compressor rated for 12 cfm at 40 pounds. When spraying primer on the bottom with my 6 cfm/60 lb inlet pressure HVLP gun, the compressor ran infrequently.
I didn't have time to install a proper 20' run of copper tubing to allow the compressed air to cool thus allow moisture to form and be extracted via a water separator. So, I took the air hose between the compressor and water separator and put it in a 50 gallon trash can filled with water and ice. The day I sprayed was warm and very low humidity. Very little water was drained from the separator so my Rube Goldberb cooling system was probably unneccessary that particular day..
