Custom Built fan forced air cooled aftercooler. This is a 20 CFM dual fan wall mount aftercooler. Great for small shops, Home Garages. Any compressor up to 20 CFM. Very low pressure drops due to dual headered design. Ideally mounts above your air compressor for added benefit of compressor cooling. These are built with an aluminum finned radiator. 250PSI maximum pressure. Automatically turns on as needed for low power consumption and no need to remember to turn it on before you start, or off when you are done. Quiet operation. ***Less than 60db.*** Comes with a supplied digital thermostat control with wired remote temperature sensor. Secure sensor to your air compressor outlet ball valve with included aluminum tape then wrap with standard electrical tape you supply. When temperature rises above set point it automatically turns on fans, and once it drops below set temperature it will turn off. You can set both the Turn ON and Turn OFF temperature settings with this control. Cooling your air will let your air filter/coalescing filter remove the maximum amount of moisture from your air. Unit has 1/2\" FNPT fittings on inlet and outlet. All you need to supply is the air lines/hoses from the compressor to the aftercooler and from the aftercooler to your Air Filter/Regulator, thread sealant and fasteners to mount to your wall. You must have an air filter Coalescing Filter OR a drip leg with a valve at the bottom that you can drain. Cooling your air will condense more moisture from your compressed air. Fans are 600 CFM each with a high quality aluminum frame commonly used for machine and enclosure cooling. Quiet and reliable. Ball bearing supported for long life. Total power consumption for the system is about 100 watts. Much cheaper to operate than most. Thermostat plugs into a standard US 110/120V grounded outlet. Aftercooler plugs into the thermostat. Only need one 110/120V outlet to run. Aftercooler has a 5.5\' cord. Thermostat has a 3\' cord. Wired remote thermostat has a 9.5\' lead. Total weight is 24lbs including mounting brackets.
Much better than a radiant cooling aftercooler mounted to the Belt guard of your compressor. Which only gets limited forced air flow when compressor is running. Requires very little space. If you have a space 24\" by 24\" on a wall preferably above your air compressor you can use this.

Installation
Note on Compressed air systems: Remember that with or without an aftercooler some moisture and small amounts of oil (compressor oil blow by) will end up in your compressed air system. Be sure you have ways to drain off this unwanted liquid. The simplest way is to ensure that your compressor output connection and your Air Filter/Coalescing Filter are the lowest points at the beginning of your system. This will allow for any moisture to naturally move into the air compressor tank to be drained out (hopefully with an automatic tank drain, so much easier) and into the Air filter/Coalescing Filter which you either manually drain, or many models available with automatic float drains. Having drains at the bottom of any lines that come down from the ceiling at other points in your system are good too.
Mount angle Brackets to wall: Best positioning is directly above your air compressor. For good air flow for cooling of the air compressor mount with the top of the angle bracket 12\" to 18\" above the top of your air compressor. Ensure there is at least 6\" above the angle brackets without any obstructions to maintain good air flow. Short side of bracket to wall. Pre-drill holes if using a wall anchor for drywall or if needed for your fastener. Drywall installation requires the use of a toggle type anchor for the top hole in each bracket. Initially only put in the anchors for the top mounting holes in each bracket. Spacing is 22.625\" center to center of holes. Hole size is 5/16 or 8mm. Ensure close to level for best operation. Once angle brackets are secured and level using only the top hole on each bracket continue to next step.
Install Air lines: I advise attaching your air lines to the aftercooler before attaching the aftercooler to the brackets. Be sure to use thread tape several wraps. I would also use a semi-hard/flexible set paste thread sealer as well. Follow all directions for your chosen thread sealer. I would not attach the air lines to your compressor or pressure regulator/coalescing filter at this time.
Attaching aftercooler to the brackets: The aftercooler will sit on top of the brackets. Use the supplied #8-32 screws (shipped treaded into the inserts in the aftercooler) to go through the brackets into the threaded inserts in the base (HDPE Plastic) plate of the aftercooler. These do not need to be torqued down real tight. Tighten only until the split lock washer flattens. They are only keeping the aftercooler from moving around and falling. There are two threaded insert locations on each short end of the aftercooler base plate. Then install the other anchors for the angle bracket to the wall mounting.
Attach air lines to your system: Now you can attach the air lines to your compressor and air filter/regulator. The aftercooler is not directional. Either side is inlet/outlet.
Installing thermostat Control: Mount the thermostat control to a wall or other convenient location with included #4 wood screws. Screw hole spacing is 83mm or 3.267 inches center to center. Plug aftercooler into outlet on the front of the control.
Installing the Thermostat sensor: I advise mounting the sensor to the ball valve exiting the tank of your compressor. Use the supplied aluminum tape to secure the sensor end (smooth metal end cap) to the ball valve. Then wrap with some electrical tape to secure and insulate. A couple wraps is plenty. Route the sensor wire as needed to be safe from catching on things or causing other hazards. Plug the 3.5mm jack end of the sensor into the thermostat control. Any extra wire can be looped and zip tied if needed.
Ensure that the aftercooler is plugged into the Thermostat control outlet located on the front of it. Then plug in the Thermostat control with the included power cord. And turn on by pressing and holding the PWR button for a couple seconds If it does not turn on when plugged in. Thermostat will come pre programmed to turn on aftercooler at 90 degrees and off at 85 degrees. For proper operation the thermostat on and off set points need to be several degrees above your ambient temperature. Turn on temperature set point needs to be higher than turn off set point.
Your all done. Be sure to follow all directions for your thread sealant. Some require some curing time before being pressurized.
Enjoy the simple operation of your aftercooler. Thermostat control will remember settings if it loses power. Complete directions for changing settings on the thermostat control are included if you need to adjust them.
Typical installation requires one person and about 30 to 45 minutes. All you supply are the fasteners to mount the brackets for your wall construction, the air lines and thread sealants, and the tools required to do the job.
