Air cooler for air compressor?

[Jduke]

I have been watching videos on YouTube where people are putting the Derale 15300 oil Cooler between the pump on their air compressor and the tank to cool the air from close to 300F at the pump down to below 100F at the inlet to the tank.

unfortunately the derale 15300 has 8AN connections which are 1/2 Inch tubing compatible, this is great for most compressors, unfortunately I have a harbor freight V shaped 5hp pump on Top of a Quincy tank. The outlet for the HF pump is 3/4 inch. I am having trouble finding an oil cooler that has 12AN connections which would be the size for 3/4 tubing.

The only ones that I have found are racing oil Coolers which are selling for more than I paid for the compressor.

anybody have any suggestions for a 3/4 or maybe even 5/8 tubing cooler that can be mounted on the compressor.

Thanks

Duke

Worst case you could use a reducer down to 1/2".

The Hayden oil coolers have been used as air compressor aftercoolers. I used one with 3/4 NPT ports for my setup.

Use two of them

I’d rather not restrict the flow between the pump and the head significantly

Looks like the Hayden may be just what I’m looking for they have several with the 12AN ports

Thank you

Also considered that, but would prefer to keep possible leak points and cost down, so if I can find a single oil cooler that would be preferred

"Use two of them "

Not a good suggestion, get a Hayden 1260 or 1290, a 1260 should be sufficient. a 1290 is perfect for a 7.5hp compressor

1/2" does not even register as a restriction for 15ish cfm.
