Quoted from bobnatlanta:So, what I've learned is that this compressor takes about ten minutes to start putting out moisture in it's current environment.
As your compressor runs longer it builds up more heat and the air it's making is hoter; this lends itself to higher moisture content in the air line. I would make sure the compressor is as cool as possible, put a high speed fan to help cool it off while its running. Also you should run your airline verticle as much as possilbe from the compressor source, as the air cools down the moisture will run back to the air compressor.
I work with water based paints, we use refrigerated driers, coalising filters, and dryer towers to get our air under 1% humidity at the paint gun, with solvent you can go higher but it will impact the results if it's too high.
