New compressor guidance...

[Davek0974]

Compressor arrived this morning

I can confirm from the depths of the manual that there is a duty cycle:-
50% duty cycle,
15 minutes continuous running,
12 re-starts in 1 hour,

These seem a bit tight for a heavy-duty compressor recommended for "a professional DIY hobbyist" or "enthusiast" although I'm not sure what a compressor enthusiast is??

Anyway, one really good thing is that it's practically silent, compared to the bone-shaking ear-splitting direct drive units it's replacing anyway, might even be able to work in the shop while its running now!

I'll have the plasma running later so will see how it keeps up.

The heavy duty workshop continuous use types usually are either heavy cast iron bore or screw compressor.

Hydrovanes are nice units.

In its defence, this unit does at least have a cast iron block
