since i have gotten myself a compressor i would have normally used it as is but from reading on these forums anything that uses consumables ( plasma cutter or air tools ) water isnt a good thing for your tools
I know the compressor filler to the tank gets hot with forcing air into the tank the 40 litre one i have gets to about 196F at pipe to tank 120f at the connection to the tank with another refill i expect it to be in the area of 240F or higher the more hotter that pipe gets the more the heat gets into the tank the more you use it
so which system is better then ?
cooled before the tank or water traps after the tank ?
the first 2 cooled before they enter the compressor tank
id say you have to be a competent welder to attach the fittings needed for the gas bottle not enough room for another compressor but enough room for an upright compressor tank
the simple one I wouldnt use but the 4th pic i would due to a simple build
on a further question would filling another expansion tank give better cycles during filling and using of air
wouldnt the hot air in the shed/garage affect the air within the copper pipe when its high in the air ?
