- My compressor is in the rear corner of my garage. Start by running flexible hose up and into the corner by the ceiling.
- From there, run copper pipe (10 feet), sloping downward slightly, to the front of the garage along the wall. Is 1/2" adequate, or should I bump it up to 3/4"?
- I'm debating putting the desiccant system here, but I might run another 10-foot length of copper back near the compressor, then one more back to the front, to give moisture more opportunity to condense. Thoughts?
- Back at the front of the garage after the run of copper pipe, install a drop with ball valve to drain the condensed water.
- After the drop, install a Sharpe 6760 desiccant air filter system.
- After that, go back up and hang a 90 and run pipe across the man door with a drop next to the door for general purpose use (could be paint gun, too). Install a Sharpe 606A here.
- From there, run a length across the top of the garage door with a drop by my blast cabinet (about a 20 foot run + the drop). Install a Sharpe 606C here. One feed will go to the blast cabinet and the other will be for the paint gun or whatever.
Some questions:
Is the Sharpe 6760 a good choice for my primary desiccant and filter? Is it in the right place? How about the 606A/C? Are they appropriate choices for final filtration and pressure control? Do I need more drops for water drainage? I understand that any place I feed down for feeding air should go UP first before going down so as to avoid draining water down the air line. Should I have a pressure regulator on the tank to control the pressure going out to the system or just go straight out of the tank through the flexible hose to the copper (since the 606A/C have pressure regulators on them)?
Am I missing any thing? Am I close? Things to add, delete, or do differently?
Thanks,
Jay
