[Shop-talk] Looking to buy a compressor

[Pat Horne]

I need to make some changes to my air lines @ the compressor to add an intercooler between the compressor & tank. 

I have a 60 gallon 11 CFM compressor outside that feeds a 1”x12” drip leg w/valve that then feeds 1” copper pipe in the ceiling. It runs up hill for 40’ across the shop. Each of my air outlets is fed from the main line. I drain the drip leg every few days & the compressor daily when working. I need to add an automatic drain one of these days. 

When I am doing a bunch of blasting the air @ the cabinet is about 110°. A local separator takes care of the rest of the moisture. 

Peace,
Pat

Unless this is a large, complex system, I think the simplest and effective way to deal with moisture in the piping is iron piping with drip stems with ball valves on the ends and a moisture separator near each air outlet, and each outlet needs to be stubbed off of a vertical  pipe section. I just google air system pipe layout and that many layouts, most using this basic idea.

FWIW
