Re: Adding air between matches

FYI: The KOP Compressor is rated for a 10% (approximately) Duty Cycle. 6 Minute run time every 60 minutes.

If you need to run it more than that, you need to get a higher rated compressor. Viair makes the KOP compressor. The Viair IG line is rated for 100% duty cycle. However, it costs 4 times more, and weights 3 times more.

Note: The CFM is 1.06 at 12 volts, below the 1.10 CFM limit. The 24 volt version does exceed the FRC limit.

During qualifications, duty cycle should not be a problem. During eliminations, it could be a problem if you are using a lot of air.
