Air Compressor Piping Layout Questions

[JMarsa]

Thanks for the reply.

It's a bit confusing given the shape and constraints of my home shop. I have two 14' wide bays next to each other with a compressor room directly behind one of them. The compressor room ceiling is only about 8' tall and the fitting on the tank is about 30" off the ground so there's not much room to go vertical first. There's also an elevation difference as the compressor room is an add-on and it 1-1/2 concrete blocks lower than the main area.

I am trying to allow for cooling so instead of going through the closest wall I made a long run before going vertical. I thought that the length would provide a cooling area and that sloping it would help with draining the condensate and that the stub would act as a drain. I'm not making a loop or ring around the shop though, instead I'll have a hose reel at the end of the run.

Should I add some more vertical runs after my corner transition for better cooling? Currently I only have about 25 feet of black pipe used.
