Andy or Billfred have you tested the "THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR" that is described on the label? Is this something that might effect teams during matches?
Hey Allen,

We actually have run a prototype of this compressor on a full-weight robot chassis for just over an hour with two battery changes. This chassis was equipped with a pneumatic system with two 35 CI Clippard tanks to run new prototype shifting transmissions, with a high frequency of shifting cycles. The compressor's thermal protection system never kicked in.

Just for a bit of clarity, the thermal fuse protects the motor from over temp. Nothing to do with the air end getting hot. The air end heat has more to do with the physics of compressing air than compressor design. As others have mentioned using a KOP fan to blow air over the compressor head does wonders for this

Thank You Nick I assumed it would be fine, just hadn't seen a warning label that big on a compressor before.

The compressor is with UPS should be to AndyMark on Friday or Monday.
