Re: Help Calculating time to recharge air tanks

I think the error you are making is that the CFM compressor performance values you are using are at the inlet to the compressor, not the discharge. The compressor does not put out 0.53 cfm @ 60 psi, it compresses 0.53 cfm of atmospheric air (14 psia) when the discharge is @60 psi.
