Ex., if the pump puts air in on the top right, then taking air out in the bottom left should result in less water carry over. The warm moist air enters the tank at a decent velocity from the 1/2" or 3/4" line from the pump, and the air velocity slows down greatly as it travels through the tank since the tank is so large. This slower moving air allows the water droplets to condense and drop out to the bottom of the tank. |

Best option i think is having the compressor line going into the side of the tank and pulling air out the top. This is the arrangement on most water/gas seperators i see.
I will have to reference this thread when i do my system. I am running all stainless steel tubing (1/2 or 3/4'') around my shop and will be bending it myself. I might use copper for the cooling coil right of the compressor though as it conducts heat better than stainless.

I can't (I could but with much difficulty) really remove the air at the top of the tank, that is where the inlet from the compressor & the unloader valve are located. Currently the air is drawn out the side of the tank ~10" below the top inlet. There is another possible outlet on the same side of the tank ~36" from the top inlet, that I could use. If I pipe the air out at the bottom side outlet it will be quit a bit further from the inlet & cooler. Sounds like I should go for the bottom side outlet?

If not too much hassle, I would connect to the farther outlet. If a PITA, maybe try the easier outlet and see how much water the water trap picks up. If the trap is picking up water and there isn't noticable water at your tools, you are doing well.
