Perhaps it took 5 to 7 minutes on the original one this one maybe takes 10 to 12 minutes, empty. Normally it just fills up between 60 and 100 psi so it never goes to zero

@EricStrebel 4 года назад

Sounds good, I would consider putting a water trap on the output of mine

@ruthdoyle9085 Год назад

Keep in mind you can use that compressor as a serious vacuum pump (tee into inlet and put 2 valves and a vacuum line). But I wouldn’t try to do both build pressure and pull a vacuum at the same time. The new capacitor is a hard start kit, because these little compressors are not designed to start against a load. (You would have to open a valve to release the pressure on line so it would start) once it’s going, it can go up to about 450psi...

@EricStrebel 29 дней назад

Ideally you want to use a non detergent oil since these motors don't have a pump I merely use 1040 for the additional protection the 40 weight offers. I do not have any issues with overheating.

@rickhalverson2014 5 лет назад

FYI - refrigerator motors have a low on/off duty cycle. They burn out if the motors stay on too long. You have to be careful using tanks so large that the SMALL piston take to long to fill, the motor will become overheated. They work better with small 1 gal tanks. Thus they work best for things that do not require large volumes of air; like an airbrush. You could of course use multiple refrigerator compressors on one tank.

@OakKnobFarm 4 года назад

Instead of a refrigerator compressor a commercial AC compressor would be better. They work great with near 100% duty cycles

@hullinstruments 3 года назад

@@OakKnobFarm Thanks for the advice. I happen to visit a local scrapyard three or four days a week. They’re mostly industrial Scrap but they get dozens and dozens of massive tractor trailer truck size HVAC units that come in regularly. And regular sized units also. Is there anything specific I should look out for? Since I literally have hundreds of compressors to pick from… I want to get what’s best suited. I plan on putting a single or maybe double compressors on a 20-ish gallon tank. I do industrial circuit board repair and test equipment calibration. So I use my tank for cleaning and moisture removal… i use it more than any total in my shop. Considering a small squirt of 100% alcohol… Followed by good tight blast of air will clean and remove almost any debris or contaminants. I only run about 50 psi… so to not potentially lift the circuitboard copper traces or blow off the solder mask. However that 50 psi seems more like 100 because I’m running through a very small diameter airbrush hose, And attached to the end of my blow gun is a basketball inflating needle. So even though I’m using 50 psi pretty much around the clock… The tiny diameter of the inflation needle means I’m using a very low volume of air. Right now my 30 gallon tank last me pretty much all day. Just wondering what would be best and I appreciate any info you can give. Also… How long would your average HVAC compressor take to pump up a 20 gallon tank?

@ajmckay2 4 года назад

Greetings from Sterling Heights! Do you believe that a fridge compressor is capable of 125psi? Also. from reading comments it looks like this particular fridge compressor will fill the 15g tank from 75 to 100psi in about 5 minutes. It's not exactly linear but I'm guessing that each 25psi roughly translates to 5 minutes of run time - would you agree? In the original build (what looks like maybe a 6g tank) I'm assuming the fill time from 75 to 100psi was probably 2ish minutes?

@EricStrebel 4 года назад

Hi. Great video!!! I have a question for you. I got an old 1/2 HP Tecumseh compressor and built a silent air compressor with it for my hobby projects. I used a new SS Relay, new thermal overload protector and new pressure switch. Everything works fine. I've set the pressure switch cut out at about 90 psi and cut in about 60 psi but I've noticed that the compressor overload protector trips when the compressor tries to cut in under pressure. I have to depressurize the tank down to about 30 psi in order for the compressor to cut in smoothly. Is this normal or is there possibly something wrong??

I’m assuming the 4th line the Freon Lone gets capped off? I didn’t see that on the 2016 vid 3. Tank’s compressed Air IN pipes have nothing more than a one way check valve? 4. The Tanks out Valve seems the most complicated at: 4.1.: Three Tee 4.2.: 125 psi relief valve 4.3.: Pressure regulator 4.4.: Four Tee 4.5: Pressure Valve 4.5.: Switch Not understanding where the capacitor came in and why it blew up Also: what is the final Emptying ratio compared to the old orange one? Took 20 mins to fill up And how long to empty Vs the new one Ok thx great stuff

@EricStrebel 5 лет назад

compressor has one outlet, this is where we fill the tank with air, and one inlet, this is where the air comes in trough the silencer can, and one for the oil (just has a rubber plug in it) Outlet can be configured any way you want for your set up. Have no idea how long to empty, I never use it like that, I guess it would depend on your outlet flow rate and what you have hoked up. Don't full understand why the capacitor died either, probably was a crappy part.

@stormkhan4250 4 года назад

@@EricStrebel I believe start capacitors are rated to be able to start a motor only so many times per hour. If you start/stop a motor many times an hour they overheat and reduce its life. I recently changed the start cap on my shop dust vacuum and the spec's for the cap said it was able to do up to 40 starts per hour.

It would be rare for this compressor to be used more than once an hour so it really doesn't start very much, but a bigger capacitor will definitely help with that I can see that being beneficial

From 70 to 100 takes about 5 minutes

@@EricStrebel I`m surprised it doesnt get toasty and trip the internal thermal cutout. I`d expect it to run for least 7 minutes to fill the 6gal tank from 0-120psi and 17 minutes 47 seconds for the 15 gallon tank. The theoretical maximum free air flow from the compressor is 0.92cfm., you can expect 10-15% less in real life. I would run it with 280ml of non foaming, mineral based hydraulic oil.

Does water ever accumulates in compressor tanks?

@EricStrebel 5 лет назад

Yes, it can, thus a drain of some sort is a good thing to have.

@stormkhan4250 4 года назад

@@EricStrebel could you alleviate that by putting a condenser before the tank? I saw someone else modify theirs with a condenser and filter to catch the water and drain it as it runs instead of it going into the tank.

Having a problem with mine when I put the on/off Pressure into the wiring. I can't get it to kick on. [It Kicks off at a 100 PSI and Kicks back on again at 55PSI] But it's not kicking on but if I wire it without that, it runs.

@EricStrebel Год назад

You need a one way check valve before the tank, so the compressor does not need to turn on against the pressure of the tank.

@bille8795 Год назад

I have that it's the pressure switch that turns the pump on at 70PSI and off at 100 PSI. When I run the power through that. It will not run when I bypass it. It runs, but will not shut off Making it dangerous if left on the pressure switch is supposed to stop it at 100 PSI. It screws into the tank and has 2 prongs. For electric

@EricStrebel Год назад

I guess the pressure switch is faulty then, sounds like you need a new one

@bille8795 Год назад

I got 2 new ones and not sure if I need a relay not sure

@EricStrebel Год назад

The pressure switch is essentially a relay that is turned on and off by the pressure that sends a signal to the motor for it to turn on and off

Hi Eric, There are two different styles of copper compression fittings, I don't know which one you are using but, from what I can see, it's not being used correctly. With an internal ring: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KR9cQwnnHXw.html Flared Style: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XCr2YTg5mKo.html I've never had a compression fitting leak.

Great video but the gun suppressor comment is wayyy off. The vast majority of suppressors use some type of baffle and chamber system to cool the gasses and vent them to atmosphere slower to reduce the pop. If anything a chambered car muffler is closer in design. A suppressor for a firearm using some type of consumable media would be horrible.

Only good for blowing dust take to long to fill tank and if you try to run any tools it will empty in seconds as for spraying may work with a small brush but you will need a filter to remove water and any oil get through, these are not new I build one in the early 70s for motorcycle tyres and blowing out carbs and such. Not really worth the effort of building them.

That's exactly what it is good for, works fantastic for blowing off stuff, definitely can not run air tools.
