ABAC 1108 moisture problems

[stichill99]

A couple of years ago I bought a 2nd abac screw compressor to run my air tools,painting,and blasting pot/cabinet. I have blue air pipe with the water traps at the top of every down leg but I am finding a lot of moisture is now coming through the air tools. What can I work through to try and improve it. The compressor has a built in drier so I suppose new filters etc would also help? Anyone with similar machine out there to help?

It's been quite humid lately, which might be making the moisture problem worse.

Can you do a drawing of the circuit, traps at top of leg ?

The plastic pipework is the john guest stuff with the built in water traps at the T-piece joins.

copper would be better than plastic as it conducts the heat away from the hot compressed air better, and as the air cools, the moisture condenses out of it. Ive found that with typical air filters that if the water is still a vapour in the compressed air, they do nothing. The water needs to condense first for the filters to work.
