Yes, when compressed air goes through a valve, or horn, and the pressure is reduced to atmospheric (from air tank pressure down to approx. 15 PSI), it cools rapidly. If there is any moisture in the air, it will freeze there, where it exhausts, quicker than any other place in the system. I have heard a horn freeze up to where it sounds like a mouse. That's why we put air driers and antifreeze in the systems.
