Great video. I am the manufacturer of the pump, thank you very much for sharing our products. If you have any aftermarket problems can contact us to use the manual behind the mailbox. We have found a better shock absorber foot can no longer need a mat. If you need to contact us, in order to thank you for sharing our products, we will give you free of charge. Thanks again.
why is it not recommended to fill a dive bottle ? it stated in this video it takes 10 mins per 1 litre. i have a 3 litre so that would be 30 mins fill. as long as the unit is kept cool it should be fine ?
I have a question regarding the 220/240v model. It says it operates @ 50hertz. Here in America, we operate @60hertz. Most motor appliances do not care. Just wanting to make sure this compressor would be okay with the slightly different frequency. Thank you for your time.
Wingman115 yes but some people use dive bottles to fill there guns. so is this kit good enough to fill a dive bottle ? not everyone has a buddy bottle gun. Some people use the bottles to top up when out in the field
Great point about having enough electrical power. If using 117 volts ac, a 15 amp breaker is insufficient based on the power load - be sure to have a 20 amp breaker with no other devices on the line. Also, avoid using a low gauge extension cable that would cause a voltage drop to the compressor - causing overheating. Many thanks for the awesome video!
Really glad I watched your video because you include some info I did not know. Was not aware they made these units in 220v which is huge for people that have easy access to a 220v outlet. Thank you!!
Very useful demo and explanation. I have just taken delivery of this model pump (240v) and it's true what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words. Glad to view this before I give the pump its first run. Good emphasis on bleeding the air off before switching off. I look forward to viewing your proposed videos on long-term use including pump maintenance. Many thanks.
Great informative video nice to know that one of these Chinese compressors is actually worth the money can't wait for your video on how this compressor is holding up so far so good thanks again for the info
It was a really good video. I have just received my compressors and have not set it up. Thanks to your video I should have no problems. Thanks! Bob Lachapelle
Thanks for this video. After much research, I purchased this model as well and wanted to find a RU-vid showing actual usage but in English. I am new to pcp air rifles and feel much more at ease that I made a wise purchase.
Open the moisture and pressure valve before switching on. Then close them after switching on after 30 secs. This gives time for any moisture to be expelled. Open and close the valves in 2 to 3 min intervals to keep expelling the moisture if you do not have a the extra filter system (charcoal, clay/ beads etc... and cotton filters). Someone explained this in another vid hope it helps.
Great little pump. Thanks for making the effort to post this. I ended up buying a 'clone' version that has a brand name of "Aceeagle". I think the components are pretty similar based on one of the tear down vids I saw of this Yong Heng... but I probably should have got the Yong Heng in the end as in hindsight I don't see too many vids about the Aceeagle. My Aceeagle seemed to do the job but I think it's taking a bit longer than it should. It topped up my 4.5l tank from 160bar to a hair under 280bar in about 45 minutes. Still WAY less time than it takes to go to the stupid dive shop and get ripped for £35 to get it filled :) I used a very big bucket with the garden hose overflowing it and my temps stayed at around 45deg. I ordered another inline filter for mine with loads more filter elements..so I will have a second stage filter. It would be great if there was some way to test the purity (dryness and no oil) in the air produced.... You are spot on about maintenance of these ...but I think the spares for these will be cheap as chips. Given that the con rod is aluminium and has no bearing on the crankshaft I think that could be point of failure but I will keep an eye on it. Also...as the piston starts to wear out, I think the air will start getting contaminated more but hey...you cannot beat the price of these things. Hats off to the inventor of these things!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but if you keep pressure in the auxiliary tank, say more than 500 lbs, it will help to keep condensation off of the tank.
These Chinese HPA compressors are going to allow a lot more airgunners to enjoy the shooting without all the pumping. My version is 220volts 50 hz. I cut the end off the cord and wired it into a fused disconnect switch with 10 amp fuses. I added a cord to fit my clothes dryer outlet and good to go. Remember this is 240 volt 60 hz on USA power. This means more power 240 volts vs. 220 volts but higher speed on the electric motor at 60 cycles vs. 50 cycles. Be sure to use frozen ice in milk jugs to keep the 5 gallon bucket cool and you can fill a 60 minute SCBA tank in one hour with no overheat issues. Great review Wingman. BTW a similar compressor is on Ebay now for $343. and free shipping. My opinion is that this compressor will pay for itself very quickly but the time it takes to set it up it goes much better filling a large tank that will last a while.
You need to connect the probe from the thermometer to the small hole in the back of the cylinder head. This will then give you a more accurate reading of the pump temperature. Don't let it get over 65 deg C.
I know this is an old video but thought I would add some info. Any of these lighter duty HPA compressors should be switched on with the high pressure bleed valve open unless starting to fill gun or tank from completely empty or close to it and then once running close the high pressure bleed valve and start filling. Nearly everyone I know now filling bottles are using a one way flow valve like in our PCP guns so you can refill a bottle from 2K to 3K and start up with the high pressure bleed valve open. Alot of airgunners I know with these lighter duty compressors with the automatic shut off has had problems with the setting gauge, relay or the electric motor, also when the compressor is just switched off at 3000psi to 4500psi abruptly the stop can be violent compared to a no pressure shut off. No load starts & stops will increase the life of these lighter duty HPA compressors by being much easier on the relay & electric motor that drives the compressor as well as the pump piston and crank when you eliminate abrupt stops & starts under high pressure.
I have received mine today and the female quick disconnect didn't work on my tank so I remove one from my air hose to to check the unit so far so good now have to invest an other $19 for quick disconnect plus $8 shipping. not complaining about it just letting airguner to be aware. once again thank you for the review.
Great video. I've been looking at high pressure compressors for a while now. I'm interested in how long this one lasts. I hope you keep very accurate records as far as how long each fill time is, and start and finish air pressures so we can see what kind of loss or wear we can expect over time and use. I'd also take that new spare O-ring kit to the local parts store and match up spares now, so you know what you need, unless they included part numbers, which I doubt they did since this is made outside the USA. Keep up the great work.
wjf213 sound advice however they will offer you to buy spares from them and thats ok cause they are offering us a product at a great price that the U.S. makers take advantage of us on. like shoebox and air vent. So im ok with the China men trying to sell me spare oRings... BUT SOUND ADVICE. match spares up at hardware store and online to see if you can get a easy source for spares. Id advise using really top shelf oil also. no cheap crude for the babygirl. Also its worth to mention that using bottled distilled water could help add longer life to our new sweetheart instead of using hard ol tap water. 99cents a gallon is worth the extra life in my book. Pamper your best girls and they will do you good for alot longer than if you just treat them like common dolls
Wingman115 good video @ wing man.. [[[PLEASE DO A indepth detailed Video on the Rebuild when the time comes "hopefully a long while from now" but it will come -which is normal wear for hpa comps- So please just remember us then to take the time to document the rebuild...Thanks Sooo Much...Good Day Sir'
One other detail on the cooling water tubing. The discharge/return to bucket hose gets so warm that the tubing can collapse. I bought a short piece of reinforced tubing and it does not distort with hot water going through it. I also secure this hose above the water line in the bucket so I can be certain that the cooling water flow is not disrupted.
You should NEVER fill a SCUBA tank or paintball tank quickly, as the faster you push air into the cylinder the hotter it gets. It will appear that you have the tank full, when in fact, the air is just very hot and therefore expanded and under more pressure, until it cools. As soon as the tank cools you will find that it is only about halfway full. The tank should also be submerged in water while filling so that it will prevent fatigue of the tank due to heat and provides a more complete fill of the tank.
Jeff Poleet I notice when I go to paintball stores when I get the bottle home it’s never filled all the way about 2000 psi mine is a 4500 psi bottle and I hate it July being filled half way and then charging me $5 to fill it half way
You are supposed to start the motor with both bleed valves open to prevent the stress on the motor, let it run for a second to warm up, then close the valves to begin filling, if you want to maximize lifespan of the compressor
I have a similar compressor and the one detail you need to mention is that China power is 50 cycles. USA power is 60 cycles. This unit works fine on 120 volt USA vs. 110 volt 50 cycles but be aware that your motor is running almost 20% faster in USA so your power factor is lower. Because of this I avoid going to 4500 PSI and stop at 4000 PSI if you want the motor to last longer. Just get a bigger SCBA tank and plenty of air available.
You said you would do a follow up video on this, I tried to look for it and didn't see anything in a title about it. Can you direct me to the video where you did the update? I would like to buy one for myself but I want to see how this one fares. Thanks.
My pump seized after a month of use. The piston seized to the crank shaft and broke the arm. I ordered a new arm and fit a roller bearing into the arm and affixed it to the crank and it works amazing now an quieter.
I use plastic milk jugs full of ice to keep the 5 gallon water bucket from getting hot. The 1/2 gallon size works great. It takes 2 jugs to fill a 60 minute SCBA tank.
Good review! I'd be interested in a follow-up video about adding an inline water/oil trap. I'm a paintballer and use these tanks all the time. One thing you simply cannot have is any oil going into the tanks. I used to work at a proshop and draining the compressor there every night would get almost a gallon of water and oil each time. So it makes me a bit twitchy that this kind of compressor has no trap. Also, do you air rifle guys use tank covers of any kind? The bottles are epoxy coated to keep the fibers safe but it's always recommended to get a bottle cover to help in case of drops. If the tank gets damage to the epoxy that goes into the fibers, that is, if any of the fibers are damaged at >all< the tank must be decommissioned. Also, there's no safety issues in draining them all the way. :) Enjoyed the video! Will look forward to a follow up.
I just order one from Walmart.com price with free shipping to me for 329.00 . It looks like a very good made and a kick ass price . Very nice video thank you again you made it very easy to decide on buying one . Save a lot of money too .
This would never work. The amount of cooling necessary would take something like a motorcycle radiator and a water pump. Even that would probably not be enough for it would still get around 180-200 degrees. This compressor fills fast but that is also why it gets hot fast. There is no way around the heat when you are pushing air at this quantity and PSI. I find by putting ice in the bucket of water works best.
Could always get a small radiator of some kind to hook up, maybe an aluminum intercooler or even heater core from a scrap yard or even new if you can find one cheap. Hook it up as a loop then submerge the radiator into a bucket of water. Or heck, go full bore and get a full automotive radiator and a fan. Biggest issue would be hooking it up but I'm sure there are some radiators out there that could be adapted :)
What do you mean this would never work? Of course it would work. Do you realize how powerful computers are? They're dumping hundreds of watts of energy, especially the overclocked CPUs. This pump uses about 900W, so it should be no problem at all for a computer water cooling system to dissipate that amount of heat. Remember, computer coolers cool the CPU to temperatures much cooler than what this pump can handle. Also, note how much water was in his bucket, and it wasn't even cooled. I have a triple 120mm setup I'm going to test when I get a pump like this. I have no doubt it will be more than enough to cool this pump.
Hold on, is it 220v or 240v? That is a big difference in houses in the US. Generally, 220v is used oversees and uses a single hot wire and a single neutral running at 50hz. 240v or sometimes in the states referred to as 220v (since a lot of homes are actually 110v instead of 120v) is two legs of the 120v 60hz electricity on opposite phases. You can not run a 220v 50hz device on a US 240v 60hz outlet. Instead you have to get a voltage converter to run a 220v 50hz device on a 120v 60hz outlet.
Looks like they have auto stop and a set pressure models for 110V now. I just got the set pressure model because my tank is rated for 3000 psi. I'm looking forward to hooking it up to my computer water cooling system. Thanks for making this video. You and the manufacturer response sold me on it.
Content Updating awesome. That's actually what I have. Now I need to try and justify buying it since all the fields have all day air and out where I am and the only time we play is out at official places. The break even point would take quite a bit of fills.
Awesome thing to review. I have paintball guns and airguns and while I like using CO2 cartridges, as you know they can't provide enough gas for the higher power and faster shooting airguns or paintguns.... not enough volume and not enough shots for extended shooting and they use HPA anyway. I've been curious, but they are often pricey from paintball dealers.
I just tested my Yong Heng air pump, and it draws more than 17 amps while running and over 22 amps when starting! They must have left off a "1" in the manual because it's rated at 1800W, so there's no way it only draws 8 amps. I decided to test it because it kept blowing the breaker on my power strip.
What kind of connection come with compressor ? Will I need adapter to fill an Omega tank that has a dinn300 valve and a foster#12 fill connector on hose?
Hi great review looks like it's the dogs dangaly bits. I'm thinking of getting one and was wondering if you have done a long term review if not how is holding up.found the UK link very helpful
Just got my Yong Heng from Walmart. It arrived 6 days earlier than they said it would. The manual is almost worthless. It says to use a gasket where the air filler hose connects to the pump. Does it mean the metal ring/washer with a rubber insert? When I used that, the fitting got tight before that gasket made contact. It came with 2 of them - am I supposed to use 2? I have seen where some Yong Heng units use a white gasket, but mine didn't come with those.
Very Nice video. I have been a little hesitate to purchase on of these but you did a good job explaining this unit. Do you have an opinion on how this compares to the AirVenturi Compressor that sells for $1200-$1300? I'm leaning toward the Yong Heng but not sure on the longevity on this unit. I guess we will have to wait a few months to hear back from you. Thank you!
If I were to need to fill several tanks, one after each other, would you recommend running really cold water, like ice water? Another idea i had was instead of running a recirculating water system, I would make an adaptor for my hose so it would use my house water pressure to constantly pump fresh, cold water through the system until i was finished filling my tanks. I have two tanks around 45-50 CI and 3 smaller tanks that fit in the stock of my air rifle that is around 20-25 CI. The larger tanks go in my backpack and has a remote line that can go to any of my airsoft rifles. Thanks for the info in the video. Been thinking of getting one and now I am definitely more interested. It will definitely beat using a hand pump! It would be nice to set it up and record the fill times for all of my tanks so I can hook it up and start a timer, then can do other things while my tank is filling. One thing I might do it build a daisy chain adapter that will allow me to hook up all of my tanks, or at least 3 or 4 at once, then it will fill all of the tanks at the same time. Then you just close the valves ill install on the daisy chain, release the pressure in the line and disconnect the tanks from the system.
Wingman115 thanks for your efforts and a great review... Please guide me that what's the difference between autoshutoff and set pressure plate version.. Which one is better in your opinion
What brand/sIze carbon fiber tank is it? How many top-offs from 2000 psi do you get from the carbon fiber tank? Approx. how many shots till carbon fiber tanks drops to 2000 psi?
That's not a cheap compressor, but I guess it's probably going to be cheaper than reloading gear with standard firearms. This looks like a must have if you are really into the airguns.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors When you factor ammo cost the value of Airguns really show. A brick of .22 out here in SoCal goes between 65-80 dollars.
Broskis... I ran this unit for 3 minutes to warm it up and then another three minutes under load WITHOUT H2O COOLING. I am not sure what kind of damage i have done to the unit. I filled a bottle to 3700 psi. Right now I feel the limiting reagent is the torque on the hose nut. PPC I hope i didn't kill the seals. Top of the untt reached 125*F
Wingman 115 Liked your review of the PCP compressor. Was wondering how the compressor is working out for you? I have noticed the price of the unit is coming down. I have seen the unit as low as $245 was thinking about getting one. Any thoughts?
2 years ago you did this and said you would do a follow up in about 3 months. Where is it? I cant find it searching your videos under yong heng, did you title it something else or just didnt do it?
hows it going if you get plastic trash can were you can put the bucket of water in and put ice around that bucket of water it will run a lot cooler for ya so try that and let me no how it worked out for ya have fun shooting and have a great day jim
Hopefully, the big/quality companies will see the demand for these small things and start making a durable and affordable ones, after chinese break the ice.
Big companies can make these for the same price... the difference is that we have lots of regulation and taxes on business practices while the Chinese can pay their workers far less and with stricter working conditions. Honestly if we can get rid of all labor unions, things would be a lot better by that alone.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj The Chinese govt couldn't give two hoots for the welfare of its workers - industrial safety runs a distant second to the financial interests of business. Do you really want third-world rates of serious injury and death throughout your industries? Low, unsupervised safety practices are structurally bad for a developed economy - and this has been proven around the world. Your bullshitonomics causes astronomical insurance premiums; extraordinarily expensive civil suits; costly criminal proceedings and associated incarceration; and lifelong welfare payments to seriously disabled workers. These social burdens reverberate through the economy and greatly outweigh the economic benefits of industrial negligence. Your simplistic comment is dumb, dumb and dumber. So have another think about it.
@@bernardmaegraith2655 Labor unions and taxes have nothing to do with safety practices. OSHA, a federal agency signed by Nixon is the one setting safety standards. I could say more, but in short, your comment is nonsense and it is not worth your or my time to embarrass you any further.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj If unions have nothing to do with OH&S and industrial work practices then why did you even mention them in the context of laissez-faire Chinese business practices. It seems you would like to see a return to the Dickensian industrial practices that dominated the late 18th and the 19th centuries, including, no doubt, child labour - the kinds of practices rampant throughout Chinese and other third world factories. Unions have driven the industrial standards and conditions in developed economies that have kept working people safe and secure throughout the industrial era. They have also been the key organisations that have monitored and ensured those standards are maintained. Your silly opinions display gross ignorance of the economic functioning of developed economies. You're talking out of your hat if you think removing standards governing industrial practices and worker remuneration will deliver great economic benefits. Read my previous comment and argue your case rather than indulge in embarrassing polemic. However, I doubt you have the intellectual muscle to sustain a coherent, consistent argument.
any word on duty cycle? Im looking for a low cost high PSI pump for air liqufication experiments using the linde cycle. most "reputable" pumps and air pressure multipliers are in the many thousands of dollars range. Not looking for 24/7 process duty, just want something that can run for an hour or a little more at a time without eating itself.
so i cant fill a 80cf scuba tank with this ? why couldnt i , couldnt i just take breaks like run it for 20 mins and let it cool down and run it again, im not getting why you cant fill a scuba tank with this
This all sounds really cool, only a few weeks ago watching your show I found out about Air Force Air Guns👍🏽 Is there an air gun season in California? I live in Santa Clarita at the edge of Angeles forest. What do you hunt with the air gun ? We live in the same type of climate . Thanks GW
i wonder about the water in the tank with no filter ,or the tiny filter i see guys useing much bigger filter ,i got mine works great put ice in the water with tuxing filter i use 3 filters
The compressors are set for 30mpa (300barg) , I normally top up bottles to 300barg, but the overpressure bursting disc goes at this pressure, I see a few eBay details state it can be made to run slightly higher, any ideas on how to achieve this I only need 310/320 barg.
Question, the bleed on the side with the gauge, on the bottom of the block there is the hole for bleeding, but when I have it tight I am getting leaking from it. Do you happen to know why and how I can fix it?
......Do you run the high pressure air thru any kind of "oil & moisture filter"?!... Do you have any issues with getting any oil, or water out of the lines, into your tanks?!...
My Ripley XL9 has a Working pressure of 300 Bar. This would save a lot of trips to the Scuba shop. But oil in the airgun at 300 Bar could diesel Ba Boom! Got to find a strong 350 Bar OIL AND WATER FILTER.
I am looking into getting one of these... I am a little confused on the 30 mpa vs 40 mpa. And 300 bar vs 400 bar. I use 4500 psi tanks for airsoft but I don't know much about this stuff and what do be looking for. Any help?
