It cools compressed air from discharge temperatures as high as 350 degrees F back down to within 15 degrees of ambient, forcing the moisture that compression vaporizes to condense and drain at the aftercooler rather than throughout your shop air system. The result is up to 65% less water in your air lines, tools, and spray equipment. The 1\" NPT connections and 40-pound unit fit mid-size shop compressor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Aftercoolers Belong on Every Compressor Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater in compressed air is not a filter problem — it is a temperature problem. Compression heats air and keeps moisture suspended as vapor. As that air travels through your distribution system and cools, the vapor condenses. Without an aftercooler, it condenses in your air lines, in your tools, in your spray guns. With an aftercooler immediately downstream of the compressor, it condenses where you can drain and control it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastair's data: every 20-degree temperature reduction removes 50% of the suspended moisture. The FSAC50 brings discharge air to within 15 degrees of ambient — typically producing a 65% total moisture reduction versus no aftercooling at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSAC50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free standing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet\/Outlet Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\" x 12\" x 31\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 PSIG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 degrees F inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Basis:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250-degree F inlet air temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115V, 1-phase, 60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floor or suspended; horizontal or vertical airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFree Standing vs. Belt Guard Style at 50 CFM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBGAC2\u003c\/strong\u003e — Belt guard style, 50 CFM, 1\" connections, 18\" x 14.5\", 12 lbs.
