[Shop-talk] Looking to buy a compressor

[DAVID MASSEY]

 The newer cars have a parallel-flow condensor that may flow better.  But when you're scavenging...

Good point.  I hadn't thought of air flow rate.  Hook several in parallel?

 That's a clever idea.  It is an excellent heat exchanger and is good for the pressure.  But it could restrict air flow.  Most are just a long, serpentine tube with fins.  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.

I’d be concerned with using a transmission cooler for an aIr cooler because they are not designed for pressure use. I wouldn’t think a trans cooler would need to be rated at more than 10psi. 

An air conditioner condenser would probably be better.  It even has "condenser" in the name.... _______________________________________________
