@Domo Welcome.

minus the large diameter copper then?

I hardly get any actual water from them. Occasionally, the air feels a bit damp when I open the valves on the drop legs, but no liquid.

@ds690

but I don’t see any evidence that its removing much moisture.

A smaller diameter will increase the Reynolds number ( turbulence ) in the pipe which is great for heat transfer and bad for entrainment of condensed moisture. This means that some of the liquid moisture can be carried along to the next device. a Larger pipe will also lower your velocity which subjects the air to the heat transfer of the heat exchanger for a longer time while minimizing entrainment.

@ds690

I installed a transmission cooler between the pump output and the tank, with a water separator on the outlet of the cooler, and that pulls out about an ounce of water every time the compressor cycles. It was much cheaper than the copper pipe and fittings and I can see the water being removed.

Personally I have a different opinion on this .

Air Compressor aftercooler Info thread

I don’t know about harm or no harm but for sure the air pump will work harder because of the added static pressure If after cooler is between the compressor and the tank. Also depending on where you locate your check valve you’ll be losing more air cycle . When that section of tubing potentially including the after cooler unloads in preparation for the next ON cycle. You’re also subjecting you’re after cooler too far more vibration. Between the pump and tank. And a vast majority of these inst…

maybe a custom dessicant setup

Dessicant is a must if you hope too achieve the correct pressure dew point in your air .

This is the standard you should be aiming for.

Column b deals with water vapor.

The dark blue is where a passive or active ambient air cooler will get you to.

The blue color is where a refrigerated air dryer will get you to.

And the light blue is where a desiccant cell will get you to.

I did design a whole 7x16 cargo trailer toy hauler conversion in sketchup

Sketchup is…was awesome !! I used Sketchup from 2008 to 2020 then i moved to Fusion 360. You could still use Sketchup with SheetCAM which maybe a good combo.

@Domo

The paperwork that I have read so far says that the tables logic/servo controller requires a 20A outlet. Is this correct?

Where are you reading this?

A rough rule of thumb for recommended amount of desiccant would be approximately 0.2 to 0.3 pounds per CFM of compressed air. but this will vary depending on temperature and RH of the inlet air to the desiccant cell.
