Air Compressor Aftercooler/Dryer
My air compressor had been putting out visibly humid air so after scouring the internet, I decided it was time to try to build an aftercooler or air dryer. Some of the ones I saw weren't cooling the air very much, so like everything I do, I wanted to go overkill on this project. I found the biggest oil cooler I could, then found the highest output fan I could and had to plumb it somehow. Since aluminum and copper don't do well together (https://galvanizeit.org/design-and-fabrication/design-considerations/dissimilar-metals-in-contact) I added a steel coupler in between.
