Now that I've read the Oxygen Hacker's Companion, I've got visions of building my own home fill station. I found a source for some cascade tanks and have an O2 supplier. The Analyzer, Nitrox Stick and Tank Tumbler are built. A section of the garage (far away from wife's car) is now "reserved" and I'm looking for a "cheap" compressor.
What type of environmental issues will I have, if any, with keeping and running a compressor in an unheated space? I don't anticipate a lot of fills in the winter but the temperature in upstate NY can easily be in the teens at night and twenties during the day. It may go a couple of weeks never getting above freezing. Do I have to be concerned with storage or operation? Are there any specific models that I should stay away from? Are there heaters that are required to get the compressor up to temperature before use?
