I agree with ray66v.
A fan blowing on the compressor pump and lines is not nearly as efficient as a aftercooler but is better then nothing on a shop compressor that runs often. But even moisture that a aftercooler takes out of the compressed air, drains back in to the tank. If moisture free air is desired for your tools, paint sprayer or plasma cutter, even a aftercooler is not enough and a dryer is necessary.
Anyways.....A automatic drain is the way to go!
