Got wheels on it too.
Must be your mobile 1 ?
Looks good

Looks like a tidy setup.

Good Air Supply.  What's the Maximum working pressure Remmington?  10 Bar ish. Any idea what the CFM rate is or FAD? Noise level quiet enough not to need PPE hearing protection for employees or yourself. Hearing loss and or tinnitus is permanent ( I have it) so please try this link you might understand it better. |

I'm thoroughly jealous!!! Thou shall't not covert another man's compressorMine doesn't even start in the cold weather, let alone do it all silently......... |

Good Air Supply. What's the Maximum working pressure Remmington? 10 Bar ish. Any idea what the CFM rate is or FAD? Noise level quiet enough not to need PPE hearing protection for employees or yourself. Hearing loss and or tinnitus is permanent ( I have it) so please try this link you might understand it better. 1. This is a 240volt single phase (32amp supply) unit 2. Internal air relief is set at 7.9bar (plus it has the later Hydrovane internal leak down kit). This is to keep the in-rush amps down. 3. FAD is a funny measurement. Free air delivery is the amount of air that a compressor can move at 0 (zero) psi. So does not really reflect the duty cycle. FAD ratings at 0bar are lots higher that actual FAD at 10bar. 4. A hydrovane 23 with produce 23 CFM at 100psi constant. My big concern with the whole set up is, as we will use this on demand (auto pressure stop and start). Is the oil will not get hot enuf to clear the water thru the internal separator. |I have had small (stop/start) Hydrovanes with air recievers that have failed at early hours due to internal corrosion (milky oil). I debated with myself for hours, weather to install this without a tank and just run it constantly. I think we will have to run it on manual for an hour once a week with the separator isolator valve shut down to get it stinking hot. (I have fitted a 1/2inch ball valve next to the water spinner for this purpose). I have also fitted an hour meter, we have filled this with VaneForce 2000 hour oil, but I think we will have to change the oil every 500hours. Hydrovanes are quiet... But the big downside to them over a piston compressor is the water they produce. Piston compressors create water due to temp changes of air (dew point). But the same process, that happens in a simple regulator filter unit (spinning air) to remove water. Is happening in a hydrovane airhead on an industrial scale, add the heat from the hot oil. Rotary compressors create monster amounts of water. I have fitted an auto water spinner, auto dropout filter and auto tank drain to try to overcome this. Don't be fooled in thinking a piston compressor is a poor relation to a rotary compressor, piston compressors have some advantages over rotary units. Higher output pressures, lower water problems and lower purchase cost. Piston compressors like stop-start applications better as well. |

Well explained comment, makes a lot of sense.
What was the deciding factor to go for this setup then?

We have a heavy duty one as well
But it runs al day long every day
Maybe you should build in a small leak so it kicks in every 6 hours

10 Bar ish.
