Freezing is not a problem here in Texas, my biggest problem was insuring
the compressor got the coolest air possible in our 100+ summers . I
have not done anything about the intake air, it draws from the air
inside the shed. I may duct it to the outside if the temp in the shed
gets high this summer. My main concern was filtering all air coming
into the shed so as to not only keep the compressor clean but to keep the
cotton wood and bugs out . As it is I have to rinse my house air
conditioner compressor off once a week and I figured that stuff would
really foul my compressors air filter and cooling fins .

I have found that a "turbo"nozzle is a great investment. It has a small
jet that rapidly moves in a circular pattern. It will do a great job on
paint removal from wood and cleaning very dirty concrete. Northern
Tools sells them for specific pressures and flows to get a good match.
They are expensive.
