Air compressor continuous run?
My air supply is in stages. One 7.5 hp 3-phase 230v Quincy can usually
carry the load. It come on at 90 and runs to 120, or there about. If the demand is bigger, another Quincy gets put on line. I also have a 10 hp. Hydrovane as a back-up. I have yet another Quincy in reserve. I hate not having air! We're looking at #1 that seems to be about 50% duty cycle with just less than 1 minute off time. We're wondering if we would be better off financially running the motor continuously and unloading the valves at high pressure. One of my ideas was for the lowest mechanic to catalog every air leak and repair them...they add up quick. It seems we can go about a year before they become an issue. |
