it was about 35 last night and i went to go work on my 75 ford. hooked up my air sander to my CH 60 gallon AC and was not working worth a ****! i disconected my air line and she was all iced up.

You can also pick up a dessicant filter that will both clean and dry the air. Check your local industrial supply places, they aren't super expensive.
Around here, Princess Auto sells them.

On our concrete batch plant we have a water filter, but I also installed a oiler and keep it filled with air line antifreeze in the winter. Alot of our airlines are in tough places to reach and cant have cylinders stick due to ice in our airlines.

I installed a Devilbiss Desiccant Air Dryer in my air system and water in the lines is a thing of the past. I picked it up at Autobody toolmart for about $240. www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-14214-17653.aspx
