In this episode we combine 2 smaller compressors and a portable air tank to increase our CFM and capactiy of air to feed our air hungry tools, but for far less than buying a compressor of comparable CFM and capacity.

to his credit he's explaining it as if you've never done this kind of work before.. so it could be very helpful for many people, just like the fast-forward button is helpful for the rest of us. try not to be such a dick all the time, your own life will reflect those decisions.

@michaelruff8543 3 года назад

Great video, I'm looking to do something similar. I'm considering using non return valve between the compressors and Aux tank so that the compressors feed the aux tank only and not eachother

@HaslipCycleWorks 3 года назад

Thank you. That would probably be a good idea. I haven’t had any issues, yet lol.

@laverneliebrock9078 4 года назад

You could do a primary (wet) and a secondary (dry) set-up. Plumb both pumps into one tank, connect to the other with a check valve and draw out of the other. The first tank collects all the moisture before it passes into the secondary.

@HaslipCycleWorks 4 года назад

Thought about doing that, makes alot of sense. What kept me from doing it is I want to be able to remove one of the compressors completely at a time without having to do alot of work. Incase one fails or for portability.

The 10 gallon tank...Will always hold water because the hole for drainage is indented and not at the absolute bottom of that reserve tank being used as a manifold.

Very true, I’m not too worried about though. If it becomes an issue I can relocate the drain valve.

@HaslipCycleWorks 5 лет назад

@pbaylis1 5 лет назад

Did you try to co-ordinate the two compressors at all...to stop one of them coming on first and doing all the work filling the air tank? Or are you happy with one doing all the work and the other kicking on when the first one can't keep up?

@HaslipCycleWorks 5 лет назад

I have adjusted the pressure switches on each and they start and stopped very near to the same time. It's a toss up which one starts first though. May have something to do with how sensitive/accurate the pressure switches are on these things. There has been some talk with Codemakesitgo regarding a digital controller of some type that would handle it and be expandable to handle 1 or 2 more compressors if I ever needed more capacity.

@michaelpreston2392 5 лет назад

Ok so y not simplify everything and just remove one of the pressure switches,run a hose connecting the 2 tanks an run both pumps on the one pressure switch. This way both pumps are doing the same work!

@secalcavazos3204 3 года назад

A couple of 90ﾟ elbows on your input valves to the red tank would be a more convenient set up for you, that and if you had put them back closer to the wall @ or around the hallway or closer to the bottom. Hell while your @ it just put another 90ﾟ elbow on the top outlet so you don't wear out the a hose through use... great little setup tho. I'd like to see it up and running and it what the difference came out to be for you. Great video!!!

Thank you, great ideas! Appreciate it. It worked really well, I could run my plasma table off if it without issue and the compressors run time was cut way down. It had a few flaws, I’ll correct those in version 2. Thank you again.

@jonathanbaranowsky4216 4 года назад

Do you need an air hub? How does the setup(2 air compressors)work with the sand blast cabinet? Do you feel it has enough scfm?

It actually works pretty well. They seem to keep up with the stuff I've blasted in that cabinet.

@REKing-hm6se 5 лет назад

Why 1/4” in and 3/8 out? I would think you would want max volume 3/8 or even 1/2” coming in to manifold. Then put a larger 1” 3/4” or 1/2” leader coming out of tank for shop air . This would keep CFMs up and your volume gets into manifold quicker aiding Cfm production.

@HaslipCycleWorks 5 лет назад

All good questions, I used these sizes because of cost and availability. To have true 3/8 or 1/2" I would have to modify the compressors. Want to keep as much if the warranty as possible.

@sebumgold3108 8 месяцев назад

I'm 4 years late. I had this idea using an already fabricated reserve tank. Working with whats already fabricated, I was going to add a T-Joint to the pre-fabbed input with regulator. Is there an advantage to having 2 seperate inputs to the tank like you did, over using a T and one input to the reserve tank or "HUB"? Thanks!

@HaslipCycleWorks 8 месяцев назад

No advantage at all. The T absolutely should work.

@tiloalo 4 года назад

I'm wondering if one compressor start refilling at a higher pressure than the other, is there not a risk that only one compressor always runs? And the other never except if the pressure goes under the threshold of both?

@HaslipCycleWorks 4 года назад

With the pressure sensors in these air compressors it's very hard to get them in perfect synch. I see no harm in one running more than the other. If it fails I can close off its feed line and run the remaining compressor until I can replace the failed one.

@DXT61 4 года назад

@@HaslipCycleWorks Couldn't be off by much could it? Wouldn't they equalize out between the 3 tanks as it's filling? With all valves open , both compressors should operate and read close to the same because both gauges are reading the same thing. Correct?

@HaslipCycleWorks 4 года назад

DXT61 that makes sense so all things being equal they should share the load so to speak. As long as the pressure sensor in each compressor is accurate they should run for the same amount of time. However pulling from experience they are not and one usually runs a little longer than the other but not consistently.

The hand movement is overwrought to say the least. I mean two distinct hand movements for a one syllable word? You definitely need to brush up on the Hand Actors Armbook used across the country for great reference and established standards of articulation when you’ve got a lot to say but you don’t use sign language and are afraid to show your face because of your mob ties, or you are being hunted by your ex-girlfriend or your ego and scalp were damaged in a scary air compressor mishap with 300 psi pointed right at your hairline leaving you with part of your brain exposed. So now, as a twisted and vengeful DIY guy, you intend to upend the DIY community by making your hand the most expressive hands of all time, positively exquisite in their range and inflection. ,

@kcox593 4 года назад

Do you have to start with two identical compressors or can one have a little bit more PSI than the other like one has a hundred and the other one has a 150

@pbaylis1 5 лет назад

So you've got regulated air from both compressors going onto the auxiliary tank. Wouldn't it be better to fill that tank directly from the pressure switch outlets on each compressor, then have your regulator coming off the auxiliary tank? Assuming the aux tank can handle the PSI of the main compressor.

@HaslipCycleWorks 5 лет назад

I left the regulators on each compressor incase I needed one to be mobile.

@HaslipCycleWorks 2 года назад

There is usually an adjustment for when it cuts off and turns in. Usually near the air input to the tank from the compressor it will be electrically connected to the compressor as well. You may have to find the manual for your compressor to see which way to adjust and how far you can take it. This issue is one reason I went with multiple compressors.
