DOUBTING THE "STACK" WORKS??? - THIS VIDEO SHOULD HELP…
No, I don’t really think any of you doubt me, but I was so amazed at how well this worked that I had to capture it on film so I myself would believe it. The video is exactly 3 minutes long so it won’t blow your entire night (unless you watch it 100 times like I did

). Sorry, it’s a bit blurry and I don’t know why my camera wasn’t auto-focusing correctly.
A little commentary on the video:
I start by showing the water separator downstream of the Asylum STACK system is totally empty. At that point, with the tank sitting with 90 psi (95 is low set point for the pressure switch), I switch the compressor on. You will then be thrilled to see my makeshift flow indicator hard at work dancing in the wind. I pan up to show the entire STACK system in all its galvanized glory (which is already starting to rust

). Then because I thought you would get bored waiting for the compressor to hit the 125psi trip-off point, I tug on a red strap that’s attached to the compressor up by the motor. I do this to demonstrate the true cushioning effect of the soft iso-mounts under the feet of the compressor. You will see the whole thing sway back and forth, including the STACK system, which is rigidly attached to the compressor tank.
I then pan around where something amazing will be witnessed - water actually dripping down through the water separator. Yep, water is condensing at a decent rate. The next thing I do is crazy (well, maybe not since I had just done it 6 times prior to record this and knew what to expect

) - I grab the copper lines! They are warm to the touch (maybe 110-115F), but fine for the water separator max of 140F. In fact, the highest I saw it go in this section of piping is 125F during the full 0-125psi cycle and I could still hold my hand on it.
And just to show how much water was in there after the minute and a half of running, I dump it out for all to see. End of the show.
So there you have it, the
STACK works, and works pretty well if I do say so myself. I do foresee a couple drawbacks to it and I will explain that shortly in future post.
