Condensation

Post by jessef »

Q.

I'm sitting on the fence as to whether or not I should install some coolant lines in my tank.

Reason being is that when it's cold .. -0 C , the WVO heats up in the tank via coolant lines (hotfox, etc..)

Doesn't that produce condensation inside the tank ?

If it does, what if anything are you guys who are running similar tank heaters doing about it ?

Just popped in my head when I was looking for a place to plumb it in.

I don't see how heating the tank would produce condensation directly, but I could see that when the air in the tank cools and fresh air is drawn in through the vent tube, the water may condense in there... Maybe one of those desiccant things for shop air lines would keep the air dry that goes into the tank?
