Paint booth desiccant dryer setup

[Prybar]

I finally got around to plumbing the air into the paint booth and getting the dryer/filter/regulator put together. I added an air fitting prior to the dryer so I could run tools and such without using up my desiccant beads. The orange board is simply a way to span the studs and still mount the hardware where I wanted it.

Looks good, I'd use 3 stages of filtration...

Cyclonic
Coalescing
Desiccant

Its not that you are wrong but it can just use up desiccant prematurely. And they typically don't get "used up" but it requires a "bake" event in an electric oven.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. This is just one part of my overall air system. I have an after cooler on the compressor, a copper condenser, a primary cyclonic/ coalescing filter, and this desiccant dryer is also a cyclonic filter. Here is a pic of the condenser and primary filter in the compressor room. I also have more desiccant beads so I can bake a set while having some to use.

I like the unistrut and copper reminds me of a nearby shop
