First of all, I use air from the dive shop, so I my interest in this is about the physics.
I expect many of you have your hand pump or compressor sitting in the utility room, next to a deep freeze.
As well as all the rabbits, turkeys and cuts of deer and boar that you have shot, your freezer contains air at around -20c (-4f).
This air will be pretty dry already (cold air can contain very little moisture) and it will take around 15-20% less energy to compress than room temperature air.
So. Have people considered taking a tube from their freezer to the intake of their pump or compressor? Or used another method to pre-cool the intake air?
