If a person uses a moisture separator, it would be important to remember the separator itself would need to be protected from freezing somehow.
If a person could add a relatively large air tank after the compressor and before the air line with the air running through the top of the tank (so the air has a chance to cool and condense before entering the air line) with a drain on the bottom (that could be drained in above freezing temperature times) it might help. Another form of moisture separator but would not hurt to freeze in the bottom of a rounded bottom tank (horizontal type tank like a tire air bomb) as long as the water level was not over half full. Some alcohol could be added to the tank to prevent freezing. That is what truckers do to the air brake lines and air tanks in freezing weather to prevent their air brake type brakes from freezing up.
