i know there are multiple threads on this. I have done my searches. The ones I was most interested in are out of date by a couple years though, so I wanted to make sure that the path I am going down is still good and valid. I am looking at two options.
#1- run 3'-4' of copper line from the compressor head into a B&M trans cooler or an AC condenser. There would be an inline water drain here at the condenser's exit that could be an electric/automatic unit. After that I'd run copper line out of the condenser to a motorguard m60 filter and then the standard water separator/regulator/oil separator set up. This would then feed my hose reel and at my paint gun I'd have a little online filter. I might get fancier by having a manually activated/switched fan over the condenser for increased cooling, heck, maybe it would be automatic set to run whenever the compressor ran. I'm guessing this would cost ~$400.
#2- run a line directly out of the compressor to a motoeguard m60 filter, run this to a HF refrigerated dryer, replace its drain with an automatic electric unit, run the line from the HF unit to a standard air separator/ regulator/ oil separator unit, and finally have a little in line filter. This probably is gonna be closer to at least a $700 charge.
Is the HF unit still good? There isn't any recent chatter about in on the internet over these forums. The only recent thing I have to go off is the HF reviews on their website.
I have a single stage 6.5HP 60gal compressor.
