    Kostas ,
    Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of the build , and in particular the modification of the pressure switch .
    My first build failed due to this not functioning, resulting in a burnt out motor , however , following the instruction in your video, the modified pressure switch works perfectly and I have a most useful compressed air system in my small workshop ,
    Thanks again ! .

    Thank you for this informative video kostas! I just built mine but had some issue where it doesnt create enough pressure to my tank, my regulator and air pressure gauge doesnt seem to read the tank. I wonder what causes the problem. btw I used condor m11 for my pressure switch. Thanks again Kostas hope you read this comment!

      Hi Czar. Better late than never! Did you manage to find a solution? Low pressure usually is air leakage or not so strong compressor.

      @@KostasMiniatures Hello Kostasiii, Yea the thing with mine was it is a prebuilt air compressor using a fridge compressor and wanted to add an additional air tank

      I was able to add a pressure switch as well as the new tank but yea the pressure works now there's some leakages that I might need to cover with Teflon tape.
      overall the compressor is working but when left alone with air inside, the day after the tank is empty which tells me there's leakage. anyways thanks for replying man! I appreciate it

      @Fenr1r90 2 роки тому

      Under the plastic cap is a standard automotive air valve for filling air and generating pressure. The liquid is in the membrane and the air is in the rest of the tank, just like in membrane hydrophores. In this case, the valve becomes completely unnecessary.

    Hi, I would like to build this but I am a little confused, How do you stop oil from the compressor to go to the air tank, I mean the compressor is full of oil so how do I stop that oil from getting into the air tank ? Thank you

    I don’t know what the max pressure that compressor can produce, but perhaps you can use a high pressure compressed air tank that can handle more than 3,000 psi to build a air compressor for high cfm needs.

    • @KostasMiniatures
      @KostasMiniatures  Місяць тому

      Certainly, it is possiple, you simply need to ensure that the refrigerator motor does overfill the tank rapidly. Otherwise, you risk either putting excessive strain on the motor, leading to quicker wear and tear, or depleting the air supply in the tank.

      The manufacturers data sheet for the compressor will give you the displacement, (in cc`s) which you multiply by 2900 and divide by 1000 for litres per minute. This the the theoretical free air output, the real world output will be somewhat less, typically 10%-15%

    You didn't do a very good job of explaining why the pressure switch needed to be modified and how what you did would work. I don't see why the pressure valve would depend on the VOLUME of air moving into it, just the PRESSURE of the air at shutoff. I could be mistaken-can you expound on why you did this?
