I NEED A Compressor

[starlight_tools]

Here is the other Typical installation guide for compressed air.

   

Here is my beastie, a Gardner Denver Two Stage Pump on a 80 Gal tank with 5 HP 3 phase motor. Unit delivers about 28 CFM at 175 PSI. Being 3 Phase, whenever I shut down the shop, I turn off the RPC so there is no way the compressor can start in the middle of the night. There is a Shut Off Valve at the tank, then a union and a Stainless Steel Braided Flex line to absorb any vibration before the rest of the piping which is all 3/4" Black Pipe for the trucnk lines and 1/2" Black Pipe for any drops.

   

Here is the Compressed Air Dryer with Pre and Post water/debris filters. also shut off vlaves so it can be bypassed and isolated for cleaning and service without shutting the whole system down.

   

Here is one of the drop legs. I went crazy with shut off valves and have one before the pressure regulator and one below the air drain port. I also pipe plugged the drain ports as I get no water carry-over with the air dryer in the system.
