I found this mounted on a wall under a workbench in one of the outbuildings at my new place. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? The metal plate it's mounted to on the wall is about 12"W x 20"H if that helps.

I have no idea, but if you hit those blue bottles with a hammer it might be interesting.

Refrigerant bottles hooked into an air water separator for an air compressor . Possibly a homemade ac unit to blow cold air on something ? Instantly get your beer cold...

Air powered Meth pipe..
You are in Meth central of the USA, if you didn?t know already.

I suspect the blue containers are dessicant units.
I don't think they are refrigerant- everything is low pressure line and you don't have any of the other overhead <stuff> needed for a heat exchanger.

The timer would alternate between the left and right.
Not sure what the cross-feed (black knob) at the bottom does.

I was busy, or this would have been the first response. [Coffee]

It looks like some type of condenser for drying/cooling a gas of some sort. Would be interesting to have the information on the silver plate of the green pressure regulator/valve/dickfer to look up info on the web about it.

air line cooler and or lube system for mill, lathe etc., which feeds one or more of these. .

Top left is for sure a water separator, the rest I do not know.

I can see that...except for the location. No where to put a machine like that in this building...not even a mini lathe/mill.

Air drying system for a compressor. the refridgerant acts as an air cooler which works as a condenser to help get more water out of the air than a regular water separator can

Yeah, in Oklahoma an "outbuilding" really means master bedroom.


Was that behind the dresser?

We're on to you.

it's OKlahoma, next to the beer cooler, where else would you put it?


If you have no use for it, lmk.

Looks like a water separator/filtering/regulator setup for an airline, maybe to an airbrush or something. Could be a Henway, though...

The beer cooler or the Henweigh/Dickfor?

Actually I have no use for any of them...except the beer cooler.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Ima look at it again today and see if it's got any other clues. It's just in a very odd location to be something that was actually used a lot.

Filters, pressure regulator and oil mist lubricater for a compressed air line.

That?s my guess. Airbrush or very small air tools like the kind used to work on dental work or small machinery.

My favorite movie. I'm a big fan of the little black thong Jamie Lee Curtis was wearing during her little dance. It should've received the Oscar for best supporting role.

Exactly like how the AC runs in a car when the defroster is on.
