I broke the aftercooler off of my air compressor the other day. It's a 20c fm import aluminum pump with a cast iron jug. While contemplating fixes I thought about the usefulness of this aftercooler. The point of the afterco oler is to condense moisture out of the air and keep it out of the tank. T he way this is designed, the moisture (even if it had the capacity to conde nse any moisture which I doubt) has no where to go. Any moisture trapped i n the first bend would eventually turn back into vapor and make it to the t ank. I think this aftercooler is just there for looks. It's just to make the compressor seem more valuable to uneducated buyers (which I guess I was ). Opinions?
