anybody have one? if so, any pics? thinking it might be a good deal to add to my compressors.
Going the aftercooler route on mine with two drains on the run in the garage.
Running water separator/filter between cooler and the tank the another one bonfire the hose reel.
That’s quite the setup! From what I’ve read, having one between the aftercooler and the tank cools the air enough to allow the water to separate. After the tank I’ll have a drain valve where it goes vertical, then about 40ft and a drain on the vertical coming down then to the other separator/filter to the hose reel. Will see what kind of water I pull once it is setup. Trying to keep water out of the compressor tank.Don't waste time or money putting a separator close to the tank.. Until the air cooler the water is a vapor & the separator won't touch it...
Typically 50 feet of metal piping, Copper/aluminum/iron all work, PVC doesn't, it acts as an insulator not allowing the air to cool..
Here's my setup...

@rbkt65 this setup was in another compressor thread here.My aftercooler is between the compressor and the tank, very similar to these pics. I have a qt-54 and the output from the compressor is around 270 and after going through the cooler it's around 15-20 above room temp. After running 20 mins straight, I get very little water in the main tank. This "aftercooler" is a option on Quiney's higher end compressors.
