You want a big enough storage tank to smooth pressure. Figure out what size pipes you need and go a size bigger. Make a loop of the pipes with shut offs. That way you can shut down any section and still have air to the rest of the air line. Run the p

| I have a severe problem with flux residue being drawn up the vent ducts of my reflow oven. This residue reaches a critical mass then begins to flow down the ducts and becomes very messy. I run a no-clean process and use IR oven. Has anyone else o

Copper is best! I've seen troubles with black pipe - the pipe is not always clean on the inside and debris or mill scale makes it into your equip. eventually. We've also used PVC to get by/quick fix and we always ended up blowing a fitting or even

everything Stephen said + it is really important that you have correct diameter pipes. If diameter is too small there will be a significant pressure drop in pipes (and machines have their consumption 100-500 NL - normal liters / min) and pipe system

Kel- My first impulse is to tell you to go ahead and try it your way. We all need to learn from our mistakes to find the right way. What you are proposing is called a "smoke" test. As long as you can keep the smoke inside the device, in your case th

"Would you be able to use a piped water eye wash system? That way the water is always fresh." That's what you would think, but I've heard otherwise. If you don't flush them out regularly, the water will sit in the pipes and start coroding them. If

Most batch cleaners are "dishwashers" with stainless steel pipes and cabinets. Heated DI water is a good thing. Are you cleaning Watersolubles or no-cleans? You will need some chemistries for the No-Clean and the W.S. will eventually eat through al
