The part I wasn't sure about, and I suppose is what I am asking Jianken to explain, is why there is the added solenoid on the Air Return line (They say because it should not stay pressurized, so that I understand, but not sure why). The 5/3 valve would automatically pressurize the 'A' line without the added valve, and would this pressure not act with not against any spring/washers being used to clamp the pull stud?
As for an air dryer, I had read in many forums people using these for both small particulate capture as well as moisture, but if this is not your recommendation then I am open to alternatives. I was going from their manual which states:
"Motor Guard sub-micronic compressed air filters are designed to remove condensed moisture, oil aerosols and
particulates from compressed air. Used properly, these filters will provide clean, dry, oil free air for critical industrial
applications."
I would appreciate it if you have suggestions for cost effective (I know, a relative term) solutions. I have seen some that use chambers with desiccant media, perhaps those are better for my use case.
