Hello!
When I prepared my tanks for visual inspection, I found that there was some moisture in some of the tanks. I fill with a Coltrisub MCH16/ETS compressor (under 1000h, clean and well maintained), change the filter cartridges even more often than recommended, and never had a problem with moisture before.
Those tanks are never emptied completely, and our humidity here is quite low (average about 20-30%), even though the compressor station is located near the beach. The compressor has a well functioning auto-drain, and I cannot find any faults in the set-up.
What could cause moisture in tanks?
To avoid problems, I am thinking about monitoring the humidity of the compressed air electronically. Unfortunately I cannot find any components here. What systems are available, and what are the approx. costs?
