Hello again, compressor specialists ;-)
I just wanted to give a quick feedback and post a new question:
My moisture problem was definately caused by high ambient humity and temperature. The whole winter season, filter times were more than okay, no overly wet filter media and no humidity in tanks at all. Air analysis shows really good water levels/dew points. The compressor was not running hotter than 35°C, and everything was fine.
Now, ambient temperatures are rising rapidly again, and the compressor reaches temperatures higher than 45°C. Therefore I am planning an airconditioning for the filling system.
The question is what makes more sense:
1/ cooling the air down before the intake
or
2/ cooling the whole compressor block down
I would prefer to cool the compressor, however, does it really work 'the cooler the better', or is there an optimum temperature to run the compressor at?
Best regards,
Scubademon
