How would you clean the inside of your converter?

The cabinet that holds the converter was extremely dusty. I took a picture will try to find it. Its a toyhauler that has driven down washboard roads with the converter fan running. Got the think the inside of the converter is quiet dusty.

Would you guys blow compressed air inside? Leave it alone? Original plan was to take it out and remove the cover. That might turn into an unneeded headache.

Was about to blast it with compressed air with a shop vac running and then wondered if there is a risk of damaging anything? Maybe limit to 50psi?

Well... I'd use my 150 PSI compressor.. Won't be enough moisture to matter especially if I drain the tank first.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

It really depending how much dust/dirt/???? is inside !

I used to repair high end tower style PCs. These sat under peoples desks for month or even years. You could NOT believe the junk that was inside of them ! We took the bad ones out side and used canned air. With an air compressor, I would try to keep the pressure down to under 30 psi.

Don't worry about it being perfect. If you want perfect use sprau brake cleaner. Strong stream, evaporates quickly, and does not leave a residue.

Don't use a compressor, get a can of compressed air. The compressor air is not dry. The canned stuff, may be called a 'duster' is dry and safe to use. You can get some from your local office supply store at outrageous prices.
