Condesate traps in compressed air lines?
Condesate traps in compressed air lines?
(OP)
Guys,
Do we need to provide condensate traps in the compressor ring mains when the compressed air has achieved a dew ppoint of 3C or less either thru a refrigerant dryer or a dessicant dryer?I was told by some one they are not required as there is very little moisture left in the air leaving the dryer.
Thanks for your feedback.

Do an advanced search on this site. The topic of moisture diffusion was discussed in some detail a few years ago.

Guidelines by Health and Safety Executive say to install traps for each and every uprising main. When we had been through BSC audit, I did the modification for the existing lines. I never observed any moisture being drained. Leakage became a nuisance and I replaced all the traps by manual valves.
