Hi Guys looking for some Help from those of you using Air Powered Props
I have just bought 10 5 Gallon Portable Air tanks from tractor Supply Great DEAL ONLY 7 LEFT retail Price 18.88 SALE PRICE $4.99
My question lies with in the Re-piping of these for Prop Air Storage.
I’m piping these in the following configuration. Main question is if the Actual Location in this setup of the air storage tank is correct.
Starting at the Inlet I have a Quick Connect Chuck, A Tee A Outlet Quick Connect Chuck.
Following the Tee inward is a 1/2" Ball Valve, A Pressure Regulator, A Cross with a Pressure Gauge. on the Downward side of that cross is the Tank, continuing forward will be the Trigger controlled Valve, then the lines to the Prop.
The Main Feed line (Threw The Quick Connects) will be holding around 100 psi
The Regulators will then step that down to around 60 psi or so.
There will be about 10 Props all with the same setup for the most part 4 out of those will be a air canon type of unit.
My question to you guys is, are the Storage tanks in the Correct spot for extra air storage due to only using a 30 gal compressor?
Or should i move the tanks in front of the Regulator so there is 5 gal of 100 psi at each prop instead of 5 gal of 60 psi?
There should only be about 3 props firing at the same time at any given point.
Also all the Actual Props will all have Speed controls so the only thing taking full hits on the system will be the air canons
I hope you all understand what im trying to do if not please ask me any questions so i can help to understand this and how to make it effective. Thanks for the Help
