1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

[Billfred]

All,

We've updated both the Viair and 1.1 Pump pages with our real-world testing.

This testing was done in our shop, with a regulated 12V power supply. Same tubing, same tanks, same gauge, same everything-as-much-as-we-can-humanly-measure.

Viair Pump:

Fill Rate for Number of Clippard tanks (574 ml) to fill from 0 to 110 psi:
1 Tank = 34 Seconds
2 Tanks = 64 Seconds
3 Tanks = 103 Seconds
4 Tanks = 140 Seconds
5 Tanks = 176 Seconds

1.1 Pump:

Fill Rate for Number of Clippard tanks (574 ml) to fill from 0 to 110 psi:
1 Tank = 25 seconds
2 Tanks = 45 seconds
3 Tanks = 72 seconds
4 Tanks = 95 seconds
5 Tanks = 122 seconds

We're working on converting to CFM for each 10-PSI breakpoint, but I timed both 5-tank tests and the 1.1 Pump was ahead on each one of them. Hopefully, this answers the sixty-four-dollar question.
