Suggestion for my compressor setup. (Any suggestions would help, feel free to share your thoughts.)

[Siongcii]

Do you have any suggestions to improve the filtration system of my compressor? I’m planning to get the GX PCP filter, as I don’t have a pressure maintaining valve (PMV) in this setup, and I believe it could help more with water filtration. So far, there’s been no water and debris in my SCBA tanks, FX M3, or the other PCPs I own with this setup. Adding a PMV would be a huge upgrade—though I guess many of us don’t use one. However, when I didn’t have any filters, the oil smell was very strong—now it’s more manageable.
My concern now is that I’m getting a slight oil smell. Can I fully eliminate the oil smell?

The dual Tuxing filters are all I need. First stage is just fiber and pulls most of the moisture. 2nd stage is charcoal and dessicant. Drain cocks on both towers. 2nd stage never has moisture, 1st stage has a lot of moisture. And I live in a low humidity environment.

Plus it has a 300bar safety valve so no blowing past 300bar.

Put a dessicant canister in front of your compressor full of molecular sieve (zeolite) as they absorb water 4x faster than silica gel. Have an air filter between the dessicant and the compressor intake port for dust. Mine works so good the after compressor treatment filters do very little work. Filling the filter vessels with air is a lot of work to just blow down in the end.

I have a similar filtration setup: several separators joined together via pressure hose. My primary filter contains a combination of cotton fiber, charcoal and dessicant. The follow-on filters all contain cotton fiber rounds and I have never found any moisture to make it to the filter that attaches to my guns. I believe the smell of oil you are getting is caused by the Young Heng compressor as they are designed to compress air - not breathable air. To get breathable air would require an upgrade to a much more expensive and larger compressor designed for SCUBA/ SCBA.

Going overboard imho. My Yong Heng has the cyclonic water separator on it which does a good job removing a lot of moisture. After that the small "cotton" filter that came with the YH connected to a larger (Airmega) housing filled with dessicant beads. It's worked fabulously for 5 years. I've had no problem with moisture in my guns. I DO drain the cyclonic separator religiously every 5 minutes for a few seconds while I'm filling. I don't know, maybe you DO need all the filters without having the cyclonic.

Overkill all the way. Pressure maintaining, just bleed moisture out the center condolence filter, other than that these stay pressurized just like guns and tank.

Change the oil to one that doesn't stink. Mobil Rarus #827 is a good one.

There are better options now. Ditch the Yong Heng and get a GX...

Unless you plan to breathe that air, there realy is no need for the charcoal filter in the system. But you really do need to put a desiccant filter in the flow path - the GX will fill that need nicely.
