Hey, crew!

I finally got a minute to post my PIREP of home-made dehumidifier/dryer system for my IO360.

 I designed my system to run 15 minutes, shut down for 45 minutes. I found this to be a good work ratio to keep my crankcase dry (25 % relative humidity) here in South Florida. Also I installed the humidity meter probe(green line) in the return moist air line (marked blue line on the sketch). The dry air (orange line) gets pumped thru the oil stick tube, the return moist air (blue line) come back through the engine breather line.

List of materials:

I hope this helps our community to stay away from those expensive SMOH because of the corrosion damage. Sorry for non-doctrinal schematic, I wanted to make something quick. 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I'm always looking to improve this system.

At some point I will also wrote my PIREP on the BlackMax saga which didn't work for me that well.
