Hey Everyone, check out my PUMA Air Compressor with Aftercooler.
The Aftercooler is a B&M 70266 oil cooler with 1/2 NPT connections $100.00 from Summit Racing. The cooler lowers the temp from 220 at top inlet and drops it to 90 at bottom outlet. Then the Air is moved through 1/2 inch flex hose to a 1/2" HF 68279 40 micron water separator $14.99, then to 1/2" Water Filter trap 5 micron F704 $28.95. The traps remove 5 tablespoons of water from the cooled air before it ever enters the receiver (60 gal tank), during a fill cycle. As you can see the soda bottle attached to the HF 68279 as it has an auto drain when the pump cycles off, and dumps the water all down my tank, NOW it auto dumps into a plastic 20oz soda bottle. The other water filter F704 has screw valve and I attached a plastic tube to outer knurled nut, so when valve is opened, it goes straight into yellow pail.
I also have manual and automatic tank drains. (HF 68244) which works quite well, and puffs out another teaspoon of water each cycle.
Even though my PUMA single stage pump is very quite, I lined the top section area around motor and pump with HF 94635 (Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat $9.99) just to take the edge off.
I replaced the original Copper finned tubing that went from pump to receiver (tank) with a 1/2" 24 inch piece from ACE Hardware $3.20. Had to use internal and external bending springs to keep tubing from collapsing.
The compressor is not on PADS or SECURED to floor. I cut the original shipping pallet up and what was left under each foot (3) is what it sits on. Has not walked anywhere, and very little vibration to garage floor.
