[Shop-talk] Looking to buy a compressor

[Darrell Walker]

The transmission cooler I’m looking to use is a "stacked plate” design, and has a pressure rating of 200 PSI.  It says it has a 29,200 BTU rating:

I do plan to put a small box fan to blow through it as well.

Here are some pictures, but these all seem to be between the compressor and tank, mine will be mounted on the wall after the tank.

It all depends on what air tools you are using.  It is possible that you couldn't run a sand blast cabinet through it.  But you could hook up the high volume users to bypass the cooler and save the dry air for the tools that need it.
