water in the compressor pipe line

You can read my explanaton of your question in this ebook Chapter 7:

It is a book I use to teach Fluid Power basics to Enginers and Mechanics.

Those are some pretty vague questions-

You need to be specific, and provide more information.

If you're using a storage tank, after your refrigerated dryer, and then water and oil in-line filters, as well as drip drops in your line system, you should have a reasonably clean, dry supply of air.

BudT has referenced a site that explains water removal quite well. The refrigeration system costs more and is more effective. Also, when installing a compressed air system you might consider an oil trap before the dryer and install the piping so that the horizontal runs slope downward and at the downhill end of each pipe run a sump should be installed which can be drained as required. The taps for the different outputs should be arranged so that the pipes coming off of the main lines come off the top of a tee and travel vertically upward for a short distance, making it even more difficult for any residual water to get to the usage device.

Hi!

I want to know about ur drier, if drier is with desicants then you have to check the condition of desicants, also check the control valves which are used for segerating the moisture. Some times these valves do not open or close acccording to cycle time.You also have to check the condition of water and oil seprator intalled prior to the drier line.

I've operated an Art foundry for some years. When you color your Bronze Sculptures they have to be free of oil and water. Prior to coloring the sculptures they are sand blasted. If there is water or oil in the lines you won't succeed.

To counter this we used a discarded water heater,we cut a slot down from the top about 24 in long centered between the inlet and outlet.Weld up the inlet and slide a steel baffle in the 24 in slot,weld it in place making sure it is leak free. Weld a new inlet pipe 6 inches down from the top and centered on the baffle plate

The air comes in hits the baffle, The water condences and runs down the plate and drops to the bottom. You then drain it regularly. Some shops install an automatic Dump Valve.The air goes down the baffle then back up to the outlet at the top with the water removed.

You system will work best if you place your tank as far away from the compressor as possible then back to your appliances.

This method works very well I learned it from a mine Boss in a very large hard rock mine. They had used this approach for many years. Maybe this helps. If not its been enjoyable to explain it for you and maybe someone out there can use it Thanks and have a great new year.

Wamblee...sounds like a good add on, but make sure the tank can stand the pressure.
