If the air compressor filter/dryer unit would work well enough,
to keep out the bad stuff you don't want in your spray paint gun etc,
it would be nice to own one. After using it for CO2, I could
install it on my air compressor's output side.
I don't like extra stuff in my 100 psi air, when I'm trying to clean something.
I have a short hose on an old 3000 psi scuba tank that I can use for some
really clean dry air.. (meant for breathing).
I'm thinking about the POE lube. I think the system need to be flushed out with some kind of cleaner.
HVAC/R How to Maximize Supermarket Compressor Life
"The saturation point (free water exists) with POE lubricants is around 1,500 ppm. POE left exposed to the atmosphere will reach saturation in a matter of hours, depending on the ambient vapor pressure. Careless handling of POE for only a brief period of time during or prior to installation can result in moisture being charged into the refrigeration system.
Poor service practices such as failure to evacuate after opening the system will yield the same result. At 100 ppm or greater (according to a major compressor manufacturer) the lubricant reverses its composition because of the water absorption, reverting to the organic acid and alcohol base.
Needless to say, acid in a refrigeration system is not desirable. "
Since the system has a little pinhole in it, it's pretty much a basket case by now.
