<VV> Little Corvair- Compressors again

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Rick,
    I agree that the "direct-drive" units (where the  compressor runs as fast 
as the drive motor) are noisier but how can they  possibly create MORE 
moisture in the air that they compress?  Where does  the "extra" moisture come from 
assuming the air is compressed to the same  pressure?
    One advantage of the oilless type is the lack of  any oil in the 
compressed air.  But you still have to remove the moisture  before you use the air for 
painting or driving air tools.

Stay  away from the 
Sears oiless type. Although the one I had was "utilized  beyond it's design 
limits" it was very loud and the air was much hotter  which creates more 
moisture to deal with. Also if it does break they are  nearly un repairable.
