Relieving v. non-relieving regulator
Relieving v. non-relieving regulator
(OP)
I have a four stage air compressor producing ~3,450psi unregulated air pressure. I have a direct feed to a leak detection machine which requires 2,300 psi. I am using a relieving type pressure regulator.
I am experiencing quite a bit of condensation at the regulator at the vent hole. As a result I am also seeing some moisture downstream.
Would a non-relieving regulator eliminate this? If so, is there any negative effect of using a non-relieving regulator?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think your problem is with the compressor dryer downstream of your compressor. Compressed air can't hold as much moisture so water comes out. This excess water must be removed after compression.
