<div> <font size="3">That's a clever idea. It is an excellent heat exchanger and is good for the pressure. But it could restrict air flow. Most are just a long, serpentine tube with fins. It all depends on what air tools you are using. It is possible that you couldn't run a sand blast cabinet through it. But you could hook up the high volume users to bypass the cooler and save the dry air for the tools that need it.</font><br>

I’d be concerned with using a transmission cooler for an aIr cooler because they are not designed for pressure use. I wouldn’t think a trans cooler would need to be rated at more than 10psi. </blockquote></div>

<div>An air conditioner condenser would probably be better. It even has "condenser" in the name.... </div>
