I may be wrong but I don't think there is any federal requirement to have 
insurance but your local authorities may require you to show proof of 
insurance to use their facilities. Our airpark requires owners to have X$ 
liability on their aircraft but guests who fly in are not required to have 
it. It only makes sense to protect yourself with liability insurance even if

you don't want or can't afford hull insurance.

You are not required to have insurance.  that being said, it would be

about 2 years old. I'm running out of ideals and money. Can anybody suggest

KR> Off subject - air compressor

2008-10-12 Thread Harold Wagenknecht
I sell compressed air systems for a living and there is only one way to get rid 
of water, which is installing a compressed air dryer. It works like a 
refrigerator as it cools the air down to 38 degrees and vapor turns into 
condensate (water) and is removed. Now the air has to cool down to 38 before 
moisture forms. Moisture traps by themselves do not work, because when you pull 
the trigger at the tool or gun, the air (which might be almost moisture free 
after a good separator) is cooling as the air expands (about 25 to 30 degrees) 
and water forms right at the tool or gun/paint. Also in order to clean the air 
up for a good paint job you need a quality filter (oil removal filter) AFTER 
the dryer. If you have a piston compressor, make sure you buy a high 
temperature dryer as any other dryer will be overloaded. Anyway... for more 
info visit www.kaeser.com and request a free brochure on this subject.

Home Depot and most paint stores can sell you a moisture trap. It should be 
placed as close as possible to the gun. Draining the tank can help, but it 
is not fool proof and the longer you spray the greater the probability that 
you will get moisture in the paint. In humid climates, even a long hose can 
cause problems if you don't trap the moisture right before the gun.

Harold,

Very well put, the compressed air must be cooled to achieve the required 
pressure dew point.  Or put through an adsorption type dessicant air dryer.  
traps 
and drains will only get rid of liquid, not entrained vapor.  
By the way we met once in Fredricksburg, while I still worked for Woodward.  
You were involved in a dessicant dryer presentation if I remember correctly.  
Around 1993-94?
Glad to see you on KRnet!!

Dryers are all good, but not absolutely necessary for paint spraying.
Moisture traps are necessary to keep entrained water out of the air being
used.  I've sprayed many cars and have not had any problems until the
moisture trap failed. Refrigerant and Desiccant dryers are mainly used in
industrial apps where freezing amb temperatures are encountered.

You need a good external air filter/water separator.  I use this one and it
works great.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=1118

I use an inline dessicant air dryer also for painting.

A brand new compressor is going to make as much moisture as an old one.  The
water vapor is in the air before it is compressed and will condense out
after it is compressed regardless of what compressor you use.  An old oil
filled compressor will give you more oil in the air, but the same amount of
water as a new one.  Obviously, you will notice more water on humid days
also.

No it's not to old if it works. All you need is a dead leg moisture trap
with a drain valve or a air colessifier [chemical dryer/ filter].  Check the
bottom of your compressed air tank for a drain valve, it should have one,
drain the moisture from the tank.

I'm sure there's a diagram somewhere on the web, but the gist of it is:

1) drain it at the tank bottom, which I'm sure you've done (as suggested
already).  I leave mine cracked just enough for it to drip a drop every once
in a while, just in case I forget to do it for a while.

2) run a horizontal line as far as possible from the compressor to allow
moisture to condense, giving it a slight downhill tilt so the water will run
to the inline "water separator" that you can get for $20 or so from Harbor
Freight

3) drain it regularly

4)  if you're going to paint with it, buy one of those little "one shot"
desiccated plastic air filters that screw in between your paint gun and the
air nipple as a last ditch filter to catch what little moisture makes it
past the water separator (about $5, and worth it).

My air system consists of a 12' long piece of 1" diameter PVC pipe fastened
to the wall with an air filter/separator on the end, with a two way elbow
and a quick disconnect on the end of that, with more pipe running vertically
from there to the ceiling and to other locations in the shop.  Copper would
be even better, since cooling the air is the goal.  At the paint booth at
work we have a compressor sitting up on a wooden stand (to elevate it) and
has a coiled copper cooling pipe running out and down to the quick
disconnect (it looks like a moonshine still).  There's a little fan blowing
on it to cool it off, and a water trap/separator/filter to catch the water.
Obviously set up by engineers, but you get the point...

If you really want dry air the best and cheapest way to do it is to install
a heat exchanger between the tank and the water drier in the compressed air
line.
I used an old car air-conditioning condenser with about 3/8" lines in and
out of it, you'll be surprised how much better the drier works using cool
air rather than warm air!

Jack,

I work for the Ingersoll-Rand industrial compressor distributor, in 
Knoxville, TN.  So maybe I could help.  
Sounds like your compressor is probably OK.  Overhauling it will not solve 
anything unless its knocking, using oil or the capacity is down.  
Condensate is a problem that has to be dealt with in any compressed air 
system.  The only real way to get rid of it is thru use of either a 
refrigerated 
dryer or a desiccant dryer.  
Short of investing a substantial amount of money, the easiest way to get a 
reasonable air quality is to install a drip leg on the tank outlet, with a 
drain, drain the receiver often (several times a day) and install an inline 
coalescing filter.  
The amount of condensate depends on relative humidity, volume of air 
compressed, pressure in the receiver, and radiant cooling of the receiver.  The 
problem is that ambient air at x relative humidity becomes compressed air at 
10x 
relative humidity when compressed to 150 psi, it then quickly condenses to the 
saturation point still leaving 100% RH inside the receiver (lots of vapor)
It's fairly easy to get rid of the liquid, water vapor may be a problem, as 
it condenses in hoses, and out of tools, nozzles, etc., as the air re-expands 
to atmospheric pressure.  Keep your air tools well oiled, they will probably be 
OK.  Just a little water or oil could ruin a paint job.

I may be able to find a good used filter and automatic tank drain at work 
that I could send to you.  I deal with these kind of problems on a daily basis, 
but it's sometimes hard to justify a big outlay of cash for a unit you use at 
home.  email me off the list if you have any other concerns or if you want me 
to try to find those items for you.

Best Regards,

Riley Collins

Home Depot and most paint stores can sell you a moisture trap. It should be 
placed as close as possible to the gun. Draining the tank can help, but it 
is not fool proof and the longer you spray the greater the probability that 
you will get moisture in the paint. In humid climates, even a long hose can 
cause problems if you don't trap the moisture right before the gun.

Completely off-subject from KR's but I could resist. I am going for my private 
pilot check-ride on Friday Jan 16. Finally after 3 years of flight training and 
flying im going for the ride! I have over 100 hours so flying wont be the 
problem but the oral is a huge killer.

Happy Building,
Justin

Congratulations and good luck. Don't fly into any restricted zones. That was
our check pilot's favorite thing. Tell you to go into an area that was
restricted, to see if you would do it.

Hey Justin...
It's been at least 100 years since I took the private test, but I do remember 
that
there was a good bit of stuff on the test about the Airman's Information 
Manual (AIM)
Bone up on the AIM, and weather reporting and you'll be golden.
Best of luck and happy flying!...Sherman
