Enjoyed the video, particularly the narrative which was fluent and easy to understand. What kind of pressure is the auxiliary tank able to handle?
Hi all,
Here are my latest efforts in the workshop. Seems to be working well so far. Not blown myself up anyway...
Hope you enjoy the video.
Cheers,
Tilly.
its no different to the tank on the comp or the pressure pot being filled its generaly the hoses that can burst if they are old or u get a cheap one that perishes real quick. ive had 4 burst in 40 odd years . wasn't life threatening but makes you jumpGood video well put together.
I’ve toyed with this but not sure. It’s high pressure air and well, you know!
I could do with making something like @brightspark has to let air through and water drop but it concerns me about having that in an air system. Dunno maybe I’m overthinking it but there’s a hell of a risk if it goes wrong.
without a secondary tank the water seperator on my pot fills after about 12 minutes blasting and overwhelms it letting water down the blast hose and gives problems blocking using the second tank next to it well overcomes the problem and hardly any enters the separator even after 30 minutes . if it did all I would do is run cold water over the tank if it was getting hot but I haven't needed toOk, maybe I’ll give it a shot. Water in air is my nemesis here!
yeah burst hoses make your butt pucker for sure!!

Yours has in and out at different points (ie air travels through, so far as I can tell)
The op's job, I think, looks more functional as a buffer, rather than any sort of dewatering device.
yes most folk need the extra storage capacity for air as the comp cant produce enough air to run gear for any length of time . mine is purely for cooling and changing the fittings to pcl couplings on to the claw fittings I can fill it from the top of an airline and use it portable for blowing tires up and can use my air nail gun on it and can fire off about 120 nails of it before it needs re fillingYours has in and out at different points (ie air travels through, so far as I can tell)

Thats what I want it for. CheersThat s a very well produced video .
I have a propane tank in my air system next to the plasma table .
It is simply a buffer to increase air capacity .
The test pressure on the tank is 350 psi .
My system runs at 140 psi .
The tank has a drain valve welded in to the bottom .
Amazing how much water is expelled .
