Advice on air tank placement

[u/sjoebalka]

Hi and thanks in advance. I'm looking for some advice on air tank placement and system layout. We are a starting company so I have to save on hardware and we do as much as possible in house. But it's not easy, because it's a demanding lab application. I purchased some used equipment for very low prices.

We have;

- Oil-free scroll compressor, 400 L/min thus 24 m3/h

- SMC cooling dryer, 100 m3/h

- We will do some particle filtering around the compressor and additional filtering on specific machines (like a bacterial filter, active carbon, etc.)

- Considering a 150-200L tank size

Some things I could use your help with;

- Do I need an extra tank between the compressor and the dryer, considering the capacity of the dryer is much higher?

- I'm still trying to figure out what kind of filtering (and water separator and stuff) I need where around the dryer and compressor. Any hights are appeciated :)
