AFTERCOOLER, FILTER COMBO MOUNTED TO A PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSOR REDUCES AIR LINE MOISTURE.

Portable Air Compressors are used on-sites at jobs everywhere. You notice them at construction sites, on the sides of highways for projects, and numerous other jobs that require compressed air.

One thing that many people forget is when air comes out of the compressor; it's hot. This is why an aftercooler is essential. An aftercooler takes in the hot compressed air and uses ambient air blowing against the fan to draw out the heat of the compressed air. As a result, it radiates the heat away, which allows moisture to drop out when you cool the air.

The Cool Pak delivers cool filtered air for portable jobs. It was designed for use with portable 185 CFM compressors and reduces the harmful effects of liquid contaminants.

The Cool Pak consists of an air-cooled aftercooler with a 12 VDC motor, a 25-micron air filter/bulk moisture separator, and a manual drain. It's conveniently packaged on an aluminum constructed stand, with a rock guard and protective cord wrap for ease of portability.
