Evening Guys and Gals
I can get a used electric water heater that is being replace due to electrical issues (3-phase heater that burned 2 legs of wiring between the inner and outer shell, that is encased with foam) From the manufacturing date, it was built in 2000, and I know it was put into service in early 2001. It still holds water pressure, about 65psi, and doesn't leak.
My idea is to use it as an additional tank for my compressor. The compressor set-up is a 2-stage, 3 h.p., oil lubed on a 50 gal. tank. I keep the in/out set at 100/125 pi. I was thinking that I could parallel the HWH tank so that I can increase storage, and reduce the compressor cycles.
Would this work?
