Compressor box 

You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me.

@Cameron Makai Instablaster ;)

@Armani Julius Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Armani Julius It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

@Cameron Makai Glad I could help :)

Old design - definitely first prototype level design. The type of material I used to sound proof my music room in my house was exquisitely expensive by comparison but I didn't want to budget too much to this. It served the purpose, but that compressor since has broken twice... so I moved to a different unit.

Armand Hindrichs I’m curios did the compressor break twice since because it may have overheated in the box or other reasons? Looking to do this to my 30 gal upright.

Really a decibel meter would be great. In person I can absolutely tell you it's much quieter. No more yelling.

Armand Hindrichs I really like your idea great job man 👏👏

I went through 3 of those Husky uprights. Each one failed in the exact same way - the pressure line from compressor to tank blew out. I ended up moving to the Ridgid dual tank. Really though, you should build a compressor box significantly larger than I did. There should be much more room. Also it shouldn't cost you more than $40 to build one of these boxes. $20 for a 4x8, $10 for some insulation, $10 for a fan. Well worth it in any case.

I had debated on this concept as well but usually what I ended up doing was just opening the lid after use.

I would advise putting a fan on bottom and another on top instead of on sides like I did. Also I'd keep a larger control volume to help the intervals of on and off with the compressor generating heat. The design went pretty well but the compressor bit the dust after 3 years of moderate to heavy use. I need to build a box for the new compressor.

Good idea... I've been planning with some designs ideas tonight... I figure I'm going to give a little on sound in order to have enough air flow and heat reduction... I'm going to cut ports and use furnace air filters on at least two sides... I'm also going to install a small 110 volt 10" fan... Only one fan though because I have a 30 gal compressor and need the over all size of the boxes to be as compact as it can... My mini fridge is going on top... One fan placed right should draw in air and push it out the other side passing over the hot pump... I'm also going to run a stand alone 20 amp circuit for the compressor... It only requires 15 amps but the extra power will be for the fan... All will be controlled with one switch... I'm sure I'll change a few design ideas between now and final production but that's about where I'm at... Your videos and videos like it really help... If you want to check out my channel I have a could basic videos with my compressor break in and drain install... But in a couple weeks I should have the box built... Thanks again for the ideas...

I got my 120V AC fan from AC Infinity (cheapest). They also have thermostat controlled ones but frankly they should be on all the time if you're using the compressor. That heat builds up quickly, especially in Houstons heat. You can get around the sound by doing sound baffles with your fan designs. A strong fan will be able to pull a good amount of air through a few baffles without too detrimental of a loss. Baffles are the key!

Thanks... I'll search for that fan now...

AC Infinity AXIAL 1238, Muffin Cooling Fan, 115V AC 120mm by 120mm by 38mm High Speed???

Keep an eye out - I just sold this one (compressor, box, and controls) to upgrade. Next model should be vastly improved.

secretspy711 yeah, good luck with that

That was the plan that I never got around to, but the next air compressor I do this to will be a much more thorough design.

+metalmalitia23 I wouldn't recommend my regulators at all. They've given out on me about 3 times. Go spend some money on them though! If I had to build this again from nothing I would use a different compressor and more insulation material. It is very quiet but could be better for certain.

Ayy lmao

How much did I spend?

Exhaust? Are you doing this for a gas powered compressor then?

The fan is wired to run non-stop unless I unplug the box. It's such a small fan I figured it was better to keep it cooling the the whole time than be intermittent. There are some temp-controlled models by AC Infinity (same brand as my fan) on Amazon as well.

I see, thanks.

This entire setup cost me something like $200 and you want to talk about a 2 stage compressor?

That's great I was being more realistic for general automotive shop use.

If I were to build another it definitely would be significantly larger with 2 fans for sure. These were some cuts of wood I had already around the shop so I made them work. Definitely too cramped though. I'd also put fans on top and have inlets on bottom so we get the hot-air-rising effect working with us.

Those gauges are on regulators. Some tools can only handle a certain amount of pressure so those devices are used to set a maximum pressure in that line.

mggcomputers also one is water separator and and one is for oil, if using air tools they like lube and less water, if spraying you just use water separator with out the lube one ,

Some of us just do what we can with what we've got until we can upgrade. When time is free and wood chunks are sitting around you can become creative also.

This was an almost-complete project at time of the video. Really it should have a closed platform bottom and some sort of rubber type feet to decouple it from the ground.

The iPhone is fine for a differential analysis.

Providing it actually works linearly, which I very much doubt.

Any app designed for sound analysis beats just listening to a video. The video is likely to have AGC (Automatic Gain Control) applied to even out the sound level, which will hide any improvement.

hi every one ,l was going to make my own compressor box,but they don't seem to get down to the noise level l need , ok this mite sound mad , what would happen if just the compressor pump was in a box with oil , drive would be on the out side shaft going through a seal , inlet wood be piped to a car air box on the out side , outlet wood be passed through the box to the tank , same with the crank filler and oil level view .l know l can make it work , just don't know if it would work for noise level .

@@lesariordan249 . Rocket 🚀 science 🧬

12 dB cuts the loudness by more than half to a human ear. Quieter than your Junkrat video at any rate...

Sorry to inform you that it works extremely well. The heat sink for the motor is at the top of the compressor so I placed the inlet and outlet to maximize airflow across it.

Armand Hindrichs :) airflow with all that foam around the outer fan... Maybe in your imagination

It's hard to argue with tangible results as opposed to your online speculation. Go troll elsewhere.

@eduki, How could you possibly know that without measuring the temperature with and without the fan?

...did you not see the fan?

It takes a long while for the heat to build up on a set up like this at work, the only time it over heated to my knowledge was when is ran for about a hour and a half non stop. If being used moderately or even the more tame end of heavy plus given time to cool off, I doubt it would be a issue.

+bruce achiles That's what the 1/4" ball valve is for.

4x8 sheet of 3/4MDF - $30, box of screws - $4, AC 120mm fan - $18, sheet of foam - $30, air plumbing for drain valve and air to front controls (excluding controls) ~$30, and I wouldn't recommend the filter/regulator/lubricators I had. Pick some up from PneumaticPlus and they'll be rebuildable and higher quality.

i can suck a golf ball through a garden hose :-*
