Moving over to a big compressor in the shop and was noodling on ways to pre-cool the air before it goes in the tank.
I have some 6' long baseboard hydronic heat pipe i saved from a remodel. It is all 2" schedule 40 black steel pipe with fins going the length of them. From my little research the working pressure would be in the 600 PSI range, well above what I will ever be able to produce. Any reason that rerouting the line off the compressor head into a loop of these with a drain on the bottom would be a bad/dangerous idea? I would keep the loop all steel and adapt to soft copper coming off the head and going into my primary tank.
