Bleed off when lowering pressure quiet and stops correctly. #### Fans - Case cooling fan running, a bit loud but I think thats down to it just being that loud and not a bearing failure. - Air after cooler fan cycles on and off with compressor. Sounds ok. Good airflow. Thermal camera does not show hot spots, but due to warm after cooler right behind it this is not definitive. #### Water Separators/air dryer - Can watch as it drops water out of the air from the first separator. - The unloader valve at the bottom of the desiccant stack is NO, and closes when the compressor is running. - Is this the unloader valve for the cylinders as well? - No water visible from the separator at the output of the desiccant tower. Also no evidence of prior discharge. This is a good sign as this should be the clean, dry air entering the tank.
