AIR DRYER SYSTEM installed with HUSKY 60 GALLON Air Compressor in HOME GARAGE SHOP

[@녕다-x8r]

*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*

[@scottwhite2379]

Great build. Condencing the water out of air works best when the air is cooling right as it goes into your compressor tank. You will have better results plumbing this from your compressor output into your tank. It will be less moisture in tank, and remove even more waterr before it hits your expensive dryer.

[@stevemajors8658]

This is one of the best, well explained videos on this method I've seen, nice job brother! Well edited video too!

[@StillStandingGarage]

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

[@stacystarnes1449]

You could disconnect the main line from your compressor and feed your system....then return to your tank...and then run your dryer/reg/filter from the tank outlet. That approach will cool the compressed air before it returns to the tank and decrease the moisture from ever entering your system. You'll be amazed by how much better it works.

[@kenfen3104]

Interesting, Stacy. Do you have a link or a sketch of this setup? Thanks.

[@runelund5600]

@@kenfen3104 Just put the air dryer and filter between cylinder and tank and not after the tank, so you get dry air in the tank, no water in the tank and system. Greeting from Denmark.

[@anonimous2451]

Exactly what I did on my build. I also added an oil feeder to the output for my air tools with a bypass T to separate the lines (dual feeds) for Painting vs tooling. It is so smoothly operatinig I was absolutely impressed ....... I tuned in to have a look at the build and was wondering why folks do not consider taking the HOT AIR and cooling it before ever entering the tank. My Tank has been in service since 1996. 1 New Motor, and after 17 years I sealed the inside of the tank to totally prevent corrosion after having it cleaned out. Was barely surface rust but I wanted it out before sealing. This way is the absolute BEST way to extend the life of you tank and systems. It also extends tool life greatly.

[@leegarcia81]

@@anonimous2451 not only this but why is everyone using all those valves , they arent cheap and you could get a better result if you would pipe those all into 1 valve at the bottom , the additional line space would work as dead legs to accumulate more liquid , you could even use clear hose to show when theres a liquid level

[@anonimous2451]

@@leegarcia81 Not exactly Lee. Using my system I find most collected waper vapor in the first line, then less on each valve after. I started just cracking the first line during use and have no drainage from the 3rd line set. The valves are insignificant in cost compared to protecting Plasma Tables from water in the line that eats up the tip consumables.

[@chuckyounger7298]

This is almost exactly like my setup, I built about 10 years ago right down the the filters and dryers great job... someone in the comments ask about the desiccant... I live in Nevada... (fairly dry MOST OF THE TIME... ) I have pretty much the same size dryer and my desiccant lasted about two years of occasional use.... but really it all depends on where you live and how often you use the system. The nice part is you can remove the crystals, stick ‘em in the oven on low for a couple hours and they are good as new...
