I have a 4CFM, 4 gallon compressor in an outbuilding that I currently pipe in to my workshop (quieter that way). I have another 3CFM 1.2 gallon compressor sitting around.
My goals are:
My thoughts to accomplish this:
Questions for y'all:
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
My goals are:
- Reduce recovery time of system
- Add regulated drop (for rivet gun) and full-pressure drop (for other tools)
- Maybe remove water and / or add oil to system
My thoughts to accomplish this:
- Add second compressor to the same system, using both when working on heavy air usage jobs, and just one when doing the occasional job
- Possibly add an air storage tank in the rafters so the system as a whole has more capacity
- Adding a drier and / or oiler
- Installing fixed tubing instead of using all rubber hoses like I am now
Questions for y'all:
- Copper, galvanized steel, or black steel pipe? (PVC explodes, and flex stuff is semi-permanent, at best, I hear)
- Will two compressors connected to one system cause problems?
- Does the drier and / or oiler make sense?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
