[TheForge] Compressor Moisture Vent Valve

Sat Jul 5 12:31:00 2003

I use a time delay relay (stays on for half a second) and a solenoid 
actuated valve on the very bottom of the tank. Every time the compressor 
starts, there is a brief blast of air from the bottom of the tank. This 
works great, except in winter when it can get some ice in the valve 
causing a slow leak.

The whole thing cost me $3 as there is an excellent scrap yard in Fort 
Collins near me. I happen to have a spare solenoid valve (110V coil), 
which you can have for shipping charges. If Mike doesn't take it, it is 
up for grabs. I'm afraid I don't have a spare relay.
