Compressor Shed

[gary whipple]

I had a shed built to house my new Eaton 5HP, 80 gal. compressor.
Size is 4 x 8 with 5' roll up door.
220 for the compressor and 110 for the lights and outlets.
Still have the lights to install, out side and 4' florescent for the inside.

I really nice the installation. Did you install any venting to dissipate the heat produced by the compressor?
BTW, how do you like the Eaton compressor?

There is a vent next to where the compressor is. Have not used the compressor yet, still have to finished up the elect. connection at the box.
Should be ready by the weekend.

Very good idea, I suggest that on a lot of small shop designs, keeps the noise out and saves a lot of room. I would guess maybe there may be enough heat from the garage to keep it from freezing? Sometimes you have to do it but I am not a big fan of comps in freezing temps, run the thing a few hrs and depending on what oil is in it get some synthetic comp oil,,, Royal Purple is good, this is a place that synth are worth it.
