Wouldn’t you want to put the air drier at the far end of the line where the air has cooled down and the moisture precipitated out the drain, rather than near the compressor?
@imkindofabigdeal43082 жыл бұрын
Not an issue if you fab/install an after-cooler between pump and tank. Otherwise, you are on to something.

I know this is old, but I'm considering buying this unit. Is the air flow plumbed in reverse in the video. It would seem that as the desiccant breaks down, it would travel through the line into the tool. I've never seen a filter system without a filter and regulator after the desiccant. Of course, in classic Milton style, I can't find anything online, no manual, not even a Google image of someone's setup. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll probably go with an Arrow PC7612XXL.

I live in sunny FL. Milton is an old name...my dad had Milton products in his old service station..in my home garage. I have a half inch filter system..Amite system another old name in the auto shop system. Known for there lubricant products. Love Milton as well. I bought a new industrial type air comprsoir..for my home shop..a Saylor-beall unit model # VT- 730-60-1-FP. 60 gal .. they offer a cooling system on there profomance pkg. With a radiator on the belt cage by the motor a fan built on the motor to cool it to room temperature..plus a automatic tank drain. Due to the fact im.in FL..I hard pipe my shop, black iron pipe..no plastic it will peel from the inside out..in time and get in your air tools and pain guns ..after 10 yrs you,ll have issues..trust me.. so I stayed with iron black piping..old school..plex piping is what I was referring too..it will start to peel over a long period of time..I do drain everything out at night..because I have kids around..for safety..and lock out the power..to it..as for your comprsoir. I would add a magnetic starter..to it IR has issues with there pres switch s...it will cost about 300 bucks. A adder..but worth it in down time costs ask any electrician..if your unit is 5 hp.or more..your drawing 40 amps at a minimum starting your unit each time....great video love it..

Looks like this is what I need for my air system, would be better if the water trap is at least 20 foot away from compressor! Apparently warm air will not condense in water trap, the colder the air the more chance you have of removing moisture, some people run the air hose in a spiral through water and even add ice to help it cool down, I was getting fish eyes in my clear coat so I found out about moving trap and it has worked for me ..

Actually 50ft between your compressor is best for optimum performance of your filters. You can use a 50 foot air hose running up and down the wall with water traps at bottom to catch most of the water before it makes it to your filters, it will save drastically on the amount if desacant you have to use. But nice video thx for sharing the info on milton industries...
@imkindofabigdeal43083 жыл бұрын
You can accomplish even more with a proper after cooler between the compressor and tank. It is a very good idea to keep the water out of the tank in the first place.

You have your static pressure set at 90 but if you're running something higher demand than a simple nail gun you'll want to set it for working pressure. If you're running a impact wrench you won't be getting the best performance out of it.

@guysmith18263 жыл бұрын
It is probably because the air needs distance from the compressor to cool off before the water will condense and then be captured by the filter. In this case, the desiccant.

Good video. Question tho.. I read in more in one place that we should run at least 20 feet of line before hitting the filters, due to temp of air before it condenses. I just have a 5 foot whip line and looks like what is used in the video. So we're fine just going the 5 foot distance? I was going to run the 5 to a 25 foot before filters, and then another 25 for line. But now I realize I'm likely killing my air pressure to end tools. I'm only running a 21 gallon 125psi compressor on 3/8 line
@FlashPerformance4 жыл бұрын
Yes, the goal is to cool down the air before it gets to the dryer. Cool air is easier to dry then hot moist air. in normal daily use I have not had any issue. I have an 80 gallon tank and an automatic tank drain. However when I am doing heavy use. the dryer can't keep up being that close. it gets over saturated and can let moisture through. That was the trade off I had to make in my tiny garage. If I am doing sand blasting I have to stop every 30 min or so and let everything cool down.
@Roadsurfer2k114 жыл бұрын
@@FlashPerformance ok thanks. I went ahead and finished my 3/8 with hi-flow lines last night on my 21 gallon compressor. But rather than going by the setup illustrated I went more towards a hookup for 60 gallon the book showed. I did a 3 foot line to a T with drain link and 25' foot hose to run up,over and back down to another T with drain link. And that's linked off to filter and 2nd 25 foot for tools. It's only 125psi so if I need more for an impact I'll just directly hook up the second 25 to tank
@imkindofabigdeal43082 жыл бұрын
Easiest way to do this is with a forced air after-cooler between the pump and tank. Keeps condensate out of the tank for the most part and does a better job keeping hot, saturated air out of your system even with the pump running. My inlet temp to the radiator is about 280 degrees and outlet is a few degrees above ambient. My inline water separator keeps the water out of the tank.

If you need dry air first go to ebay order gallon of silica beads. 2nd go to any hardware store. I've made several different degrees of cost. I've used 2 inch 2 foot of pvc with couplers and 2 inch to half inch then half to a quarter. With steel wool packed in each end and half gallon of beads. I remove the half Inch fitting use pliers remove steel wool and empty and reheat the beads. $15 Design 2, 3/4 inch brass connects 6 inch long. With a coupler to join then. And red couplers 3/4 to 1/4 brass is known as the cold metal. $30. Abd I've made one out of 48 Inches of 1 inch of black iron pipe. 1 Inch to 3/4 couplers then 3/4 to 1/4 none have ever impeded air or given me dryer air in my life. I run 2 or 3 compressors non stop for painting all 110vi use a 3 to 1 in reverse. Plug the 3 hose lines into my air dryer then to my lowes 7 gallon reciever tank. Actually getting rid of those wall mount ones increased my air flow a good bit just using my dessicant filters with steel wool in the ends. And if somehow a beed made it past it goes into a storage tank and not into my airline. Never had a problem. And I use 25or 50 foot lineson my compressors to let the air cool some. With so much dessicant it's all that's needed and I live where its 90% or higher humid year round. Rarely rarely ever get low humid days even in winter. You dont need all this fancy systems to have dry air. $15 in pvc and half gallon of gel $15 and I'm willing to bet my 15 dollar design would have lower humidity coming out the air line then this contraption and have better airflow. Your systems weakness is its smallest restricted flow point. If you need more filtration use it at point of use dont constrict it right out the compressor. Take one of those store bought ones apart and look at them sometime.
