Daisy chain compressor tanks
Would it be a bad idea to daisy chain tanks? I have one extra, and at
times, I just run out of air. Or would it overwork the compressor? Steve |

Steve The definition of "running out of air" is that the compressor is on all the time. More tank only delays the onset according to the size of the tank. it only makes sense if your use is intermittent and that intermittency fits. Sure, you can come up with a counterexample, but in the general case, your compressor will run longer, but less frequently...unitl you "run out of air". |

I often leave the sub tank turned off, but if I need to sandblast..or run air way out in the back 40..I turn it on. Takes about 50% longer to fill em both..but the compressor doesnt run as often once they are filled. Shrug...depends on what you need to use air for. For me..its running the plasma cutter, spray painting, blowing gook off machines and filling tires. Gunner -- "Owning a sailboat is like marrying a nymphomaniac.

Steve The thread is " Valve to fill additional compressed air tank". We came up with several methods to prioritize the valving so the primary tank stays full and the other takes any excess. jsw |

Since iggy has no mechanical ability and no clues why he's so ****ed in the head, I'm sure iggy can find plenty of time to become even more of an asshole than he already is. |

Steve How about you figure out the extreme importance of recovery rate is and what it means to you and your application(s). I'm praying I'm in your kill file and you can't read this so you can make yourself look like an asshole for 10 more posts. I needed the entertainment. |

Steve What does revolving your life around a computer have anything to do with your very low comprehension rate, your lousy mechanical abilities and your inability to teach yourself? Instead you post dumb question after dumb question. The reason you do this is because... wait for it... you're lazy and you refuse to do the required reading and instead expect others to do the most basic things for you. |

It was at a job site and we did not have any heaters to heat it up. So I had to improvise, put an oily rag on a steel stick and made a torch that way. i |
