If this thing can support a small stick on carbon trace heater you could use that to keep the drier thawed

 

set up like this

 

Ooh that's smart

 

Just put it on a thermal switch

 

So that has a coalescing filter, which often uses a foam type sponge (stays wet, can freeze)

Then it also uses a desiccant stage, which will prompt you to replenish/replace those beads as they collect moisture as air passes through

And the last stage is probably a water separator, with manual drain

You'll need to tend to the second one often, and the first one when the sponge freezes, and the last one even more often as it fills up

 

That's why your brain has more wrinkles than mine

 

That's not for me to worry about
or someone show me something different I guess

 

I forget you're just the engineer lol

Good point

 

Yeaaaaaaa

 

Looks like something that would drain power

 

I'd suppose it would to some degree, but those little things can run for hours off a couple 18650 lithium cells, I'd imagine if it kept your shit running then that bit could be sacrificed out of a much larger flooded cell battery. Lots of systems have to have waste items to stay running, one of the most notable is electric cars using energy to heat and cool their batteries all the time

 

I just flew over your town.

 

Tryna get my bearings here

 

Reread yours now, definitely might be something to look into ig

reread, people visit these sites everyday, looks like there's little bags of media in the bottom to replace in the one unit anyway

 

@Speedytech7

you're saying to wrap this stuff around the drier

I've never tried the cable style ones before.

I was thinking these, they're 12v and self adhesive and come in a variety of wattages

I'll have to ask why none of the other ones have it guess, see if it's an issue.

We already run glycol heat trace at all these locations, just don't know if it's possible to run a line into the box with how we do it

 

I hate when engineers do this. Im the someone that’s always gotta fix the engineers mistakes because their drawings never work in real life.
