Eliminating sweating on a compressor/piping.

[jappell]

Yes sir, it'another beautiful day! It never ceases to amaze me the lack of logic in this world

[Olivero]

Lol, most accurate thing i've heard all day.

I'll look into the drop cloth thingy looking doo dad or the diaper and see what people think.

What's a common brand? I doubt it I google compressor platform diaper, anything usefull will come up.

With that set up get some corogated plastic. Place it on top of the bottom flange of the front I Beam and secured to the under side of the rear.
Now the condensate will Drain to the back wall.
Run a drain trough to a small condensate pump and dispose of it somewhere

I highly agree with putting a pan under the compressor mezzanine. You cannot guarantee thaty there will not be water dripping from them no matter what you try to do from above, so the customer has to accept the fact there will be water, so just catch it in a pan.

In that part of Florida the dewpoint runs close to 80 Deg F so even warm stuff sweats.

Publix supermarkets uses huge pans under their overhead piping in the sales area. No drips...no slips.

Rubatex is the fix. An insulation with a vapor barrier on the warm damp side.

Very true, I don't think you can get away from moisture in Florida, period.

I did go over it with them yesterday and the tarp or "diaper" is a no-go. But the idea of using pans seemed like a good one, so perhaps that's what I'll do.

BUT, what about all the dust and stuff that will without a doubt collect in the pans, it'll be a nightmare to try and clean them as they will be under the grate.

Hmmm.. So much to think about.

With water dripping down there shouldn't be much dust.
Once a year remove and wash. Maintenance, job security, Over Time!!!

Lol, good point. I guess we'll see. I'll have to make it so it's easily removable then.

Nooooooooooooooooo

Easy doesn't = OT

Safety First, you don't want anyone getting hurt, it must be done when the dock is closed!

[pecmsg]

these are steel but you can get them in fiberglass or plastic.

Get the SH at the pumps at 20 - 40*
If they sweat they sweat.

X2
What is the measured SH at the comps?

[Olivero]

I haven't worked on every single system up there but on any i've worked on, it's been 20-40
