thanks for the help everyone.
i decided on a packaged drier unit designed for small units with no aftercoolers. I'm waiting on a couple of more quotes but i think this will be the best bang for the buck.
thanks again.

yes, we have a reciever, which does remove some moisture. however, we still have a lot of condensation in the lines. The lines are not sloped, and there are no drains. I've already included this in my recommendation, but thanks for the thought. In all actuallity, i believe sloping...
Quark:
1. Compressed Air is 140-150 psi
2. Ambient DBT (dry bulb temp?) is basically the outdoors ambient temperature. I'm in NC so it can range from ~30F to ~100F. The same goes for RH, ranging from 50% to 99%.
3. I doubt that I can provide any cooling water at all. I'm looking into the air...
I've got a small plant compressed air system (33cfm) that has no drier or aftercooler. As expected we have a problem with water in the lines. According to my Fluid Power Handbook, a good aftercooler can remove up to 90% of the moisture.
The way I understand it, you should install the...
Oh, I see. The supply side has to be at standard conditions in order to get 33cfm, regardless of what output pressure I run. So basically, I'm not going to get any more significant capacity by adjusting the pressure...that makes sense.
If that's the case, how can I get more capacity if I need...
I need to determine the present cfm that we are running in our compressed air system. Can I use the following:
P1V1=m1RT1 ; P2V2=m2RT2
assuming m1=m2 and RT1=RT2 yields P1V1=P2V2
My company has a 10 hp air compressor rated at 33cfm at 175psi. We typically run around at 130 psi. Using the...
