That's a good idea. It allows the air to cool as much as possible. Cooler air allows the moisture in the air to condense which then drops to your water tap.
So along this line of thought, wouldn't the Franzinator work better further away from the compressor where the air is cooler? The air expands in the Franzinator, further cooling it and extracting as much moisture as possible? If the air is hot, the Franzinator will be hotter than it could be and the air might not want to let go of its moisture as easily(?)
Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
