Background is I’ve been pumping my own air for while with a Coltri. It is so loud all my neighborhood gives me the stink eye even in the middle of the day, so I’m on the hunt for something else. I’ve been looking and studying and have a question for the experts. As I understand it, we want to keep the filter under pressure all the time as much as possible so the desiccant doesn’t get ruined. I see how that’s done in the pic below with the PMV and NRV. All that makes sense. Follow my question below about how this works with the Bauer Junior . . .
While looking at the Bauer Junior flow diagram below, there appears only to be a PMV. What holds the pressure on the other side of the final filter/separator combo? Is it the third stage intake valve? That seems problematic because the seal isn’t perfect with the cylinder/sleeve and the valve itself isn’t likely a perfect seal. Thanks in advance for the education.
