Work spent £500 on a compressor for me, it can only deliver two tanks of air at a time, before it gets too hot and the thermal cutout switches it off. The compressor will only be used about a month each year but when it is used it needs to produce a good volume of air. The pressure does not need to be high, but the litres per minute does.







Which part gets too hot - the compressor or the motor?







Would the addition of forced air cooling help (e.g. a fan)?



(Make sure any such forced air cooling does not cool the



sensor directly, but cools whatever it's sensing.)

here is the compressor http://www.aircomps.co.uk/product/bambi-budget/bambi-bb24d-silent-compressor/ the motor and compressor parts are combined, the top of the green bit is too hot to keep my hand on. I'm going to push for a replacement, 15 minutes of air per hour is not much use. I think it is interesting that something so **** can be manufactured, and then find a buyer. The compressor was "installed" by two people who drove 500 miles in their van, that must have cost over a grand on top of the compressor price.

On the face of it you need a higher c.f.m. rate (Cubic Feet per Minute)
