[DeTomaso] [NPC] Air pressure regulator

[Mark McWhinney]

Dan & Bill,

Thanks for the diagram.  My latest design looks almost just like it with a
couple of minor differences.

With their set up, the condensation from the vertical pipe on the right
would flow back into the tank where it would get warm and tend to evaporate
back out into the pipe.  I would put a tee there and about a foot of pipe
downwards with a drain valve on the end to catch the water.

Mark

 Mark,

My suggestion would be to put a central water trap on the tank outlet and
individual regulator(s) where needed. My experience is that the only time I
want to reduce pressure is when I use a paint gun. The blasting cabinet
should have an additional water trap mounted directly to it unless it's
extremely close to the central trap. If you're painting I again recommend a
secondary water trap as close to the gun as possible. As long as the
compressor intake is effectively filtered I see no need to add secondary
filters.
