    The professional drier units cool the air as it leaves..... 

    Kay, The professional drier units to which I was referring to are
    used in factories that use many air powered tools. The typical unit
    has a refrigerated coil or tank through which the air passes. Often
    they incorporate a automatic water drain that opens the bottom of
    the tank periodically to drain off the accumulated water. 

    If you have a old pressure canner you could make a tank into which
    are placed some of those frozen blue ice packs, run your air
    through... or you could drill holes through the sides of your
    freezer... Even running a coil of air hose through a cool water tank
    before your disectant style drier will help to get the water out
    before it gets to your sand or wax tank. 

    We use a 5 horse compressor. It runs continuously for an hour or more
    when water blasting investment. Afterwards there is a lot of
    condensation, so we have to drain the tank and the inline drier and
    then blow low pressure air through hoses to make sure they are dry
    before using other tools or the wax pots.
