Abstract
A system and method of use solves problems associated with air component freeze-up on compressors during winter months. The apparatus includes a length of tubing having an inlet end and an outlet end, a fastener for coupling the tubing to the muffler such that the inlet end is in alignment with the exhaust port of the gas engine associated with the compressor, and a fastener for maintaining the outlet end directed to the air valves or other sections of the compressor to keep them warm and to prevent them from freezing. In a preferred embodiment, brackets are used at the inlet end to accommodate different types of mufflers, and at least a part of the tubing is made up of flexible material, also to accommodate different styles of compressor units. A hook or wire is provided at the outlet end to conveniently direct the hot exhaust gases to the regulator valve or other sections of the compressor that might require heat to keep from freezing up.
