<div> <font size="3">At one point in time the company for whom I work had a flying probe tester for PCB's which used a cushion of air to "float" the moving parts and any water droplets, any at all, would cause the thing to crash. Therefore we have a dryer on the output of the air compressor. But in a shop environment the occasional water droplet will pass through an air tool no problem. A sand blaster doesn't care at all.</font></div>

The transmission cooler I’m looking to use is a "stacked plate” design, and has a pressure rating of 200 PSI. It says it has a 29,200 BTU rating:

<div>I do plan to put a small box fan to blow through it as well.</div>

<div>Here are some pictures, but these all seem to be between the compressor and tank, mine will be mounted on the wall after the tank.</div>

<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 clear="none">

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>
