I find this setup convenient as I can turn the compressor on at the start of the day and forget if I will changing pressure often. The air hose also has a Nitto quick connect socket and my air tools are fitted with quick connect bayonets. I have installed a Nitto quick connect socket on the rear of the car, one on the trailer draw bar, and one on the back of the van, the air hose plugs into these as needed. I have my compressor permanently mounted onboard, it is controlled by a pressure switch and has a tank of around 9 liters. The stored pressure in the system is then enough to maintain the locker actuated and the compressor motor automatically switches off until next needed.įriday, at 09:57To add to the discussion as there are some older members on the forum who are very set in their ways and not open to new ideas:) Pressure switches are also employed on compressors that are being used with differential air lockers where air is only occasionally required when the locker is called upon to actuate. ![]() #Air compressor on off switch full#A pressure switch is appropriate where an air receiver tank is employed to halt the motor when the pressure has reached a full tank.Ī pressure switch is used with systems where the hose shuts when removed from the valve and often with a receiver tank. #Air compressor on off switch free#Having free air blowing out of the hose may also have the benefit of keeping sand from entering the chuck when off the valve.Īdding a pressure switch to your setup would not only be a waste of money but it would not be called upon to work anyway as the pressure will not build up to operate it because of the open-ended hose. So you can see that there is little-or-no need to switch the compressor off during this short time where you are presumably moving to the next tyre. Whilst the compressor is "blowing free" the electrical current of the compressor motor drops to a lower value and in fact the easy passage of air through the compressor helps to cool it down. In this way they keep pumping air when not connected and the air blows free and no pressure builds up in the hose or compressor. They are "open-ended", that is their hose and chuck are open when not connected to the tyre valve. The compressor you have purchased is like most compressors marketed for tyre inflation. If he intended to permanently mount the system in the vehicle, he would be better to have a pressure manifold mounted somewhere to the vehicle to connect to and act as the pressure vessel sufficient to trip a low pressure switch (cut our lower than 90psi) To my recollection, these types of compressors feed directly from the pump through a one way valving system. He won’t be able to trigger a pressure cut off unless there is a small manifold he can tap into. In the OP’s case he has standard type air compressor which should have a switch on it that needs to be turned on or off each time. It only triggers the cut-off because once you disconnect the hose, the pressure in the manifold builds quickly because the manifold has such a small volume. In your case, the manifold IS the actual pressure vessel. It’s onto this manifold that you screw your hose attachments and also your pressure cutoff switch. It has a pressure manifold mounted beside and connected to the compressor. ![]() #Air compressor on off switch portable#I think yours is a completely wired unit inside a portable carry case. If you want to see a picture of it, let me know and I will take a picture for you.įriday, at 15:06Hey Stephen. #Air compressor on off switch install#Also it is the same compressor that ARB used to install to run their air lockers. It is small, sits along side of my fuel filter and is out of the way of the elements of travelling, eg water and dust. I replaced it for a very old Blue Tounge pump that was slow, bulky to carry, compared to the ARB that is quick, and will re inflate 4 tyres from 18 psi to 34 in a few minutes, and the same thing me that it would take my old Blue Tounge to do just one tyre. The "could" be tank is less than 10 cm long and around 25mm in diameter, so if you could 200 mil of air as a reservoir, that is not even going to pump up a push bike tyre.lol It does have the pressure switch what I was told cuts the compressor off when not pumping up an tyre.Īs for an air tank, it could be one and never checked it out, but if it is, there is no way you could use it for reserve air. ![]()
