Re: compressor is heating up to the point it blows hose
Boyle's Law caused us a bit of a search for a leak one year. We filled up the tanks, and a few seconds later, the compressor started again when the air cooled a bit and the pressure dropped.

Art,
Can you tell us which compressor you are using? |

Re: compressor is heating up to the point it blows hose
Ah, I am not part of the team this year (few different reasons). So I am not using anything this year. Last year we were using only standard equipment that came in a tote (Viair 90C). But I did a research last year and if you remember you contributed to this thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=129321. If i'd be still on the team I would insist to use VIAIR 250C-IG. It just make sense to me
![]() In this thread I stepped in to address the statement that Thomas 215 had 100% duty cycle, which I knew was incorrect. Last edited by ArtemusMaximus : 27-03-2015 at 16:43. |

Re: compressor is heating up to the point it blows hose
Art,
Sorry, I was speaking to the OP, Arthur Canada. There seems to be four compressors that everyone is using these days. The original Thomas 415 which is heavy but a great work horse. (Top and side ports are legal) The Viair 90C (The top port is not legal for FRC and the nickel plated check valve must be in place.) Viair 250 (The included stainless steel hose must be attached for FRC rules) Thomas 215 (the top and side ports are both legal to use and this compressor does not require an external check valve) The two small compressor run very hot as there is little thermal mass to absorb the heat generated. External cooling can be applied provided no modification to the compressor is made. (Do not use the screws to mount other devices.) |
