Re: pic: In-Line Pneumatic Fittings

Mounting a KOP computer cooling fan blowing on the compressor head allows the small compressor to be run at 100 percent duty cycle. We have done all day demos with our 2014 bot, with pneumatic catapult, and the compressor barely gets warm. This year our air consumption is less, so we left off the fan. Just filling two tanks gets it scalding hot.
