I am plumbing up my new shop for air. I am planning on having my compressor in the unheated side on the building to keep noise down. I picked up a compressed air dryer that I need to have in the heated portion of the shop. Its not a good idea to have an air dryer in an unheated area because the water can freeze in the winter.
I am thinking of mounting the air dryer high up on the wall with some heavy duty brackets. That way it would be out of the way and it would be right near the compressors, just on the opposite side of the wall. Something like 10 ft high in a 16 ft high shop. Servicing it would be a pain, but how often do you really mess with an air dryer?
Anyone have a good reason why I shouldn't do this? My gut says its going to be a pain to build the brackets and get it installed but once its there its out of your way forever...
