Nothing to enjoy yet...the shop isnt built yet...couldnt pass on this compressor though...

HP is critical. If you change the ratio of the pulley to increase speed you have less reduction and will need more HP. Also, as you spin the pump faster the pump will make more pressure(to a limiting point). More pressure means more force needed to turn the shaft. More force to turn the shaft...

So if I look at the tag on the compressor the tag will show the normal RPM not the slower RPM that was used. In other words, the climate control compressors used standard off the shelf air compressor parts just configured differently ie slower rpm and smaller motor...

It came out of a school in Maryland. I never heard of compressed air HVAC controls. Interesting. Learn something new every day... I think someone said a lot of these setups run low pressure. I assume the pump is a standard pump and I can just adjust the pressure switch... The motors do look...

Mr T, I had forgot that you can get VFD that output 3 phase. We have some at work. I will have to ask the guys. Central PA huh? I am in lancaster county....

I dont know. I didnt get it home yet. Its kind of an odd setup. Big tank, little compressors. I wonder if the dryer would handle a big compressor... Worse case I run both pumps at the same time and I should have enough capacity...

See if this works for pics... I got it from a school auction. It also has an air dryer mounted above it... It all works, so they say... paid $250 for it so I got some room to work with...

Platonic Solid- Got a question for you. In your first pic you have shovels/rakes etc hanging from the wall. What are you using to hold them? The older is gripping on the handle? Is it just those red U shaped hangers all the hardware stores have??

Yeah, think I will go the single phase route. Looks like I will have to bribe someone at work to rewire it for me...

Yeah, I was thinking of just going to a single phase motor...heres the catch... Its a dual pump/motor setup so you need 2 motors. Also there is a control box that you can select to alternate the motors, or run either one exclusively. I assume that whole box would have to be rewired if its...

Do the static style phase convertors work fine for air compressors or should I go with a rotary style? Looking to run a 1 HP 3 phase motor.

Can someone explain to me that advantage of the air compressors that have two motors & compressors on the same tank? Is it just so you have a back up and should never be broke down/out of service? Can you set them up so both compressors run at the same time? The compressor I just picked up has...

I searched 3dcontent central thinking maybe someone posted a bunch of doors, windows and other standard stuff...no luck.... learn a new system or deal with solidworks....man, cant anything be easy??

Looking at drawing up a barn/garage to be built next spring. I use Solidworks at work for mechanical design and I am proficient at the Software, however I am really wondering if Solidworks is the software to use for this application Has anyone designed a building with solidworks? It seams...
