Re: 2011 compressor

The Viair compressors we just received also have the lower rating printed on the side. We ran a side by side comparison between the Viair and the old Thomas compressor filling up a giant Bimba cylinder to the point it was fully extended. I don't have the data in numerical form but subjectively the Thomas was substantially faster. This would be a 0 PSI test. It was running straight from a FRC-style battery.

Sorry for the lack of solid data here but the point is that teams should run their own tests to see if the Viair what they need it to do.

The ones were ordered were supposed to be 90Cs but, like the previous poster, the specs printed on the compressor didn't match the web. Maybe it's a voltage thing or maybe something else. The number on the compressor says it's a 090 but doesn't include a "C".

Could someone with a KOP Viair post the 0 PSI CFM spec that's printed on their compressor? Does your's say it's a 090C or just 090?
