Air Compressor for Computer Cleaning?
I have been using cans of compressed air to clean computers for some time now and I think it's time to get a more cost effective solution for computer cleaning. I am thinking about buying a portable air tank.
However I have some concerns about that. I was told that compressed air contains a lot of moisture which can damage electronics. When I worked at Best Buy in the tech department we used a portable air tank to clean systems. This tank was filled from an air compressor in the car install bay. When I went to a different store they couldn't use this solution because, as my boss tells me, the air compressor at this location does not have a "condenser" on the air compressor which is needed to remove the mositure from the air. I've done some searching around on the internet and have not been able to confirm wether this is true or not.
I talked to this guy at Northern Tool and Equipment and he said that a condenser for an air compressor is thousands of dollars. He also mentioned that the cans of condensed air you buy at the store is dry air.
Kind of long winded I know but here are the questions I have.
Do any of you use portable air tanks to clean computers? Do any of you have your own compressors? If so do they have condensers? Is it safe to use any air compressor to fill an air tank or do I need to find an air compressor with a "condenser"? Or was it all BS and nothing to worry about?
