Yep, it works like a miracle.

I got the idea after working in a shop with the air supply being distribute
overhead, then dropping down to a quick connect fitting. It only had an
elboe before the fitting, and it would constantly have water blowing out of
the fitting. I changed the elbows out with t's and a piece of pipe below
the outlet to collect the water. That was the start of the development of
my rig.

How about gilding the lily with a flow spinner?
If that uptube airflow is spun up with a stainless butterfly inserted
near the base, you get two more winning assets:
1) centrifugal droplet spin out on the tube walls.
2) more flow turbulence near the tube walls, to cool and precipitate.....
