Air Compressor aftercooler Info thread

@Sticks

the high pressure side post compressor runs around 150psi+ and the low side can be 40-80. If we could get it to sit around 80-90psi on the low side post orifice and pre regulator,

these two systems picture below are the closest i know of that come close to your description.

@Sticks

It would make for an interesting experiment to see if dumping the compressor output line into a manifold with multiple .060 ports with individual lines, the into another manifold to a single line,

that is this membrane dryer

And this is a pseudo version of The vortex cooler

@TinWhisperer

This effect is exploited by vortex and membrane air coolers at the expense of a huge pressure drop and/or the blowing off some of compressed air to atmosphere.

Also the efficiency of the compressor drops as the pressure increases so you are really robbing compressor efficiency to cool the air through pressure drop.

Lots of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
