I have the Yong Heng. I use an old cooler filled with 3 gallons of water and water wetter. I have 3 pumps. One for the head and one each for my intercooler lines. The lines are 1/4" soft copper formed to parallel the first and second stage output pipes and they are wrapped with a spiral of nickel tape. I have sensors on the motor, the head and each water pump output line. After 20 minutes the top line coming out of the head is no longer a burn hazard. The intercoolers help the water traps work. I found that after this, the motor was the hottest spot on the system. I added eight 40mmx40mmx20mm stick on heatsinks to the motor, 2 on each flat side. I added a booster fan like yours but without the radiator because the radiator would warm the air going in to cool the motor. P.S. the factory pump is junk and was replaced which helped head temps a LOT. P.S. I covered my factory temp gauge hole for better air flow through the motor housing past the head.
Wow, that's a better design than what I came up with. I used a frame and two radiators. I think you reservoir should be larger. Please update us on how it's working and how long you can run it without over heating.
As long the rad is sufficient to cool the compressor head, this mod is an excellent one. Just replace the water with antifreeze, if you don't use for breathing air, you can use Ethylene glycol based antifreeze ( by far the most popular one ) to avoid pitting of your high pressure cylinder. very good job on that compressor.
Last night, I let it run for 15 min straight to fill up my new 800cc tank. The water temperature wemt up to 140 degrees after 8 min of run time. The water temperature never went higher than 140 degrees for the remaining 7 minutes. I'm happy with it and I use it almost every day.
The radiator isn't going to cool the water nearly as fast as the pump heats it up but it may hold out long enough to fill your gun bottle. It's perfect if it does since you never plan to push it any further. I'd put some antifreeze in the water to prevent the aluminum head from rotting away from oxidation. The radiator is going to be blowing hot air into your drive motor but your fill time should be somewhere close to 3 minutes and not be a big deal. Job looks nice. Hope it works out well for you!
Super cool my man! Very genius idea and execution to a very common problem! I wish I would have seen this video before upgrading to a different compressor! I am currently selling parts of my 2 Yong hangs if you need any spares
Great work the IV been trying to tell everyone one to do this or similar to this because the bucket and cheap water pump is what goes wrong if the bucket not level with the air pump it won't deliver the same amount of flow I tell people electric fan motor cycle radiator nice set up 👍👌✌️💯🍻🎯
I have the same compressor, I’d watch that temp closely with such low water volume for cooling, mine heats up pretty quick even using a 3 gallon water bottle. I do add lots of ice when I fill a scuba tank, but even filling my Barra 1100z .22, it can get warm, be careful with multiple gun bottle fills.
I just filled up a 24 cubic inch tank from zero to 4500psi. The water temperature started at 71 degrees. When i was done filling the 24ci tank to 4500 psi the water temperature was 143 degrees. Once you turn the compressor off the coolant temperature drops fast because the radiator fan and water pump are always running.
@manuel silva I haven't let it run long enough to check max temp because it fills up both of our guns before max temp is reached. I can easily fill my gauntlet 30 tank from completely empty and Olivia's air venturi back to back no problem.
Please get good a good air filter if you haven't. I use a small cooler with ice water because i fill 4 tanks when i fill so if your only doing the guns cylinder you should be good. The oil I use is for HPA compressors that are used for breathing air so no carbon build up or smoke will happen to your investments. SECO LUBE SYNTHETIC 500 type 500 Diester Synthetic. 100% the best oil i have found after years of searching. Stephan at Air Velocity Sport turned me on to it and by the way he also makes slugs. AVS slugs in your ladies gun size 216.5 dia and NSA Slugs are amazingly accurate @ 880 FPS - 945 FPS in 20-24 grain! Hope this helps y'all. God Bless.
That's a nice advance improvement. I watch the whole video. The following is a lower level, cheaper improvement idea that I'd like to shear. Just trying to help ya with an easier cheaper way to improve the function of that cooling system that comes with a pump. That compressor isn't a mobile type. The one you brought/got is for larger amounts of air, for filling more than one air rifle or air bottle/tanks. Also referred to as an Air filling station set up, which is for bottles/tanks linked together via air lines as an air bank filling station. Old military scuba diving experience, of filling lots of air bottles for dive missions. You can get a smaller mobile one just for guns only, no bottles/tanks at all. Through Vevor which is the money saver, with cables to attach to your auto battier to fill your gun in the field, while/during on a hunt. There are other mobile type that are more pricey. Anyway.... The picture of your one gallon bucket with a pump in it, improving on that. Basic improvements. Get a 5 gal bucket, as the main bucket. Now as for that one gallon bucket, cut the bottom off of it. Get more water tubing and sip ties. Coil that tubing around and around on the inside of the bucket with no bottom as to the making of a cooling coil,. Oh drill two holes : one top and bottom. Now from the outside slip/put a sip tie through the top hole, around the tube then through the bottom hole and lock, on the outside of the gallon bucket, along the way that the tube follows, using those zip ties to keep the coil in place. Okay, put that one gallon bucket into/inside the 5 gallon bucket. Same as usual, correctly connected water tubing to the pump. I did get a larger water pump to replace that small one. Which can push more water through that coil faster and more forceful. As for ice, after I drink the gallon of milk I rinse the jug out really good, fill the jug with water and freeze it up. (Don't fill completely, leave little space, so bottle doesn't bust from freezing) That handle will come in handy later, Ha Ha. Usually takes more then one ice bottle to perform the task of keeping the water cool during a re-fill. I keep like 4 bottles frozen in the freezer. But, if you like you can go get bags of crushed ice at the store, which equal more wasted money. Put some water like 1/4 fill or a little more, in the 5 gallon bucket with the one gallon bucket cooling coil. Cause if you put too much water in it'll over flow as the ice melts. Now Cut off the plastic of the one gallon bottle plastic, be very careful..... with a razor knife below the handle, place the ice in the coil bucket. That'll keep that water nice and cool. As the ice melts replace with another block of ice. I usually crush one up, place the crushed pieces in the bucket then add a hole one. Oh, use a siphon hose pump, to hand pump the water into another buck, to keep the water at a proper level. Prevents over flow of water. Boy that took some time, I reread, and made corrections more than once. Hope I wrote in good proper order, with information that'll help with a cheaper idea. I'm getting old, 25 years of military life, retired, let's leave it at that, hey I tried.
Boy Scout-First off THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!! Next, THANK YOU for sharing those tips! I would rather spend the money saved on more guns and ammo!!! You wrote in words this old coot can follow-simple and to the point! ( For the record I did a 2 year stint back in 70-71 in in Bien Hoa, 1/39th Artillery ) Keep your powder dry, Brother!
Plumbing flux causes corrosion and will make the water dirty running through the system creating more problems 3/4 brass nipple with fittings Would work better
the radiator is mounted upside down, it must have the in and out of the water perpendicular and not parallel, the water enters, is cooled and exits from below.
I was a little edgy because I first thought you'd use a soldered thin walled copper pipe for up to 300 bar air... Oh, that's gonna hurt someone! For short fills of an air rifle, the heat rejection of this might be okay. For 5 minutes operation at a time, it probably isn't.
This small radiator does not dissipate enough Watts to cool the compressor. Maybe for a few minutes. Why don't you make a video of it running 30 minutes?
It is a great idea however i agree with you, probably good for topping off a gun but will need a bigger reservoir and a larger radiator too for any prolonged run time.
At exactly one minute into the video i described exactly what the purpose was of this modification. I can easily fill 2 guns from completely empty2. It's been doing just that flawless for months. It's never overheated.
I killed mine in about 6 months filling a 45 min SCBA tank. If you limit to filling rifles, I think it will last a while. I does come with seals/rings for rebuilding... I want to make mine portable at some point.
I ran a true yong for several years filling 1 hr Scba tanks and never had an issue running it hours straight as long as I kept the water cool , I sold it because my wife purchased a self contained tuxing which only lasted maybe 18 months so I purchased what I thought was another yong but it only lasted 2 months. I purchased new piston rebuild kit and learned that the compressor I had purchased was a imitation.and wouldn’t fit the head Needless to say I bought this vevor to try although i believe it’s still another imitation I’m going to baby it but I plan on purchasing an alkin this summer once work picks up .
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. What he basically did was cool the water that cycles through the head with the cooling fan/radiator You know like a car?Geez
@@donxiong1775 No shit, Sherlock. What I said was that the hot air from the radiator should be pulled through the radiator, so the hot air isn't being blown onto the motor. Maybe read before typing.
@@bigfranksworld the main component that heat up is the head.So where do you suppose the head is?Do you even know? Some devices are cooled by air that directly blows on whichever component needing the cooling.What he did is cool the water that flows through the head.So where he mounts the fan doesn’t matter. He could mount that fan 20 feet away and as long as he has a tube to connect to it, in theory it should still work
@@donxiong1775 Damn, son. You just are not getting it. I've had these compressors for a couple of years. I know how they work, as well as heat exchanging. Having been in the automotive industry for the last 10 years, I know blowing hot air onto a static motor is not a good idea. He is pulling heat out of the head, but putting right back on the electric motor. He at and dirt is what kills anything mechanical.
If you're just filling your gun, get an air cooled pump. If you're filling tanks, get a pump like this, and a closed loop cooling system. You likely aren't traveling to fill tanks. This setup will burn you up faster than an air cooled, portable pump. You will never keep up.
Well looks like your defeating your plan. The fan is blowing the hot air it is pulling from the radiator right back on to the compressor.🙄 Seems counter productive. Plus you covered up one of the vent holes on the shroud with the water pump? Makes no sense?
How is that radiator working is it working good I wanted to do something like that to get rid of my bucket anxiously awaiting your reply please respond I want to do this
Don't make the mistake of doing this. There is no way this can compete with a pump and a bucket of cold water. You are also blowing hot air on your motor. For filling your rifle directly it might be ok but nothing bigger
There is no pressure on this water upgrade, it's a closed loop cooling system for antifreeze or water only. It's totally separate from the high pressure output of the compressor. So no problem.
