Re: Would [email protected] cause the compressor to run continuously?
In a word, No.
The dryer is only 'pressurised' when the compressor is running, (which in your case happens to be all the time), or when the system is venting, when the air flows in the opposite direction, to remove moisture from the desiccant within the dryer.
On a system that works correctly the air line to the dryer is not under pressure when the system is static. In fact, the top airline joint becomes a test point where owners can practise the correct way of removing and re-inserting an airline.
When the dryer joints are in a position not to leak I'm afraid there is something else causing the compressor to run continuously.
Obviously I think it's a side issue, but have you made sure the pipe is going down through BOTH O-rings in the dryer port. You should feel two resistance steps as each ring is passed. If in doubt, release the pipe completely, make sure there are no burrs or score marks on the pipe, and remake the joint, feeling each O-ring give way as the pipe goes through it.
Good Luck
