OT - air compressor
I have a home brew air compressor which uses
an electric motor. It uses a pressure switch to stop the motor when the tank reaches full pressure. I'd like to put a small gas motor on the compressor because the electric motor usually gets hot and shuts down. How are gas motor air compressors controlled? You cannot start and stop the gas motor, so, is there some sort of dump valve that opens when the tank reaches pressure? I want to use a gas engine, but I don't want to rely on the overpressure valve for normal ops. Thanks. |
