Is direct oiling required even with a lubricator?

i'me using the raddiator assembly from a big chiller unit between tanks.

(diesel compressor > water trap > old large oil cooler > one way valve >) tank of electric compressor (210 ltr ) > water trap > chilller radiator > 150 ltr tank from old compreesor > water trap > workshop


i know 3 water traps is overkill but with the diesel running 2 of them catch quite a lot of water. most of the water comes out the 2nd compressor tank , the water trap before the chiller radiator can be nearly empty but the 2nd tank will catch lots of water i've had gallons out when the diesel has been running all day. so i think it helps quite a lot.

since fitted it done get sprayed by the windy gun and die grinder plasma like it to, noticed a massive diffearnce on dessicant life when painting as well

I should think the old oil cooler is running way above its designe pressure - they are normally fitted in the tank return line and protected with a very low pressure relief valve!

oil cooler is working within it's desing pressure . it was origanly from a van mounted screw compressor

Ah I assumed it was a robbed hydraulic oil cooler - normally only running at a few psi.

should have said what type it was really
