@pootinhammer

17 күн бұрын

@timkourbo3196 I don't know, but I think it's safe to assume that they actually last quite a bit longer than what regulations state. It's just a shame that. After they reach a certain age, you can't even send them out to get hydro tested. Because the tester would be legally required to just disable the tank if it's too old. Even if it passes visual inspection and would probably pass the hydro test, they won't do it. If there's no corrosion and all your fibers are intact and they've been stored properly such as not indirect sunlight. Then they probably last a really long time, but I don't really know what the lifespan of the carbon fiber or fiberglass wrap is and how many pressure cycles It's made to withstand.

Really nice setup, i have had my YH for a year and a half and always kept it cool as possible, great hpa pumps in my experience, nice job on your hpa station!

Wow. Nice video. Good to see these working a long while, as long as they are looked after and kept cool. I only use mine like 4 times a year. Just to fill .6L tank. Should last me a lifetime. 😂

Oh, here's one for all you geniuses out there. Find an old working refrigerator that works. Drill 3 holes in the side of it One for power cord. One for air intake. Run a tube for fresh air to outside. Then, finally, one for line to tank-gun being filled. Put compressor above the water container. Set refrigerator as low as possible with freezing water in tube. See if that keeps everything cool enough. Just a thought.

this is just an extra step I take for security. I have seen a few other mechanical moisture separators that have selective one way valves on them so that the air only flows through once they are pressurized. I do this with mine just for the extra peace of mind although I'm not sure how necessary it is. logically though, I would say it matters just because of the fact that most water doesent condense out your air until you pressurize it, so starting your tank at zero and direct filling means that the first bit of condensation that's going to happen will happen in your tank if it's not being filled from an already pressurized pre-chamber. if you have a 100% effective molecular sieve, this probably doesn't matter much but I still want to stay on the side of overly cautious.

Gear oils are unsuitable for engine/compressor service. They have completely wrong additive packages. In addition 75W90 is not heavier than SAE50 motor oil. SAE oil numbers from 0 - 60 means that these are engine oils, while SAE 70 to mean gear oils. Simply see how long it takes to pour SAE50 oil versus SAE75 and the fact that 75 is lighter/thinner is obvious. Putting gear oil into an engine or compressor is also not likely to be good news, judging from the examples I have seen.

The piston head was dirty, so I cleaned and added a little silicone grease. 1st stage chamber fittings were really rusty and brown with corrosion. I saw some rust fragments in the cyclone chamber. Your also gonna pay attention and have to to be airing out your fill whip. Bottom line these things are going to collect allot of moisture. You are going to have to be performing complete breakdowns to maintain your Yong heng overtime. I mean look mine took 2 years to malfunction. Your going to be needing to swap out those fittings. I couldn’t find them either way, but at the same time I didn’t go hard to look for them. I believe if you try anything to sort of dry the air intake it’s not going to allow you to build up pressure for your needs. Other than that, I think it’s a great machine. It has served me well. $300 for 2 years. You may want to consider a warranty , they offer 4 years and I think it’s totally worth it. I had a nice 3 stage filtration system that worked well with the unit. But like I said these things collect allot of moisture you can experiment but I just think there is no way around it , aside from stripping it down over time and replacing parts. It’s really not that big of a deal, in my opinion. I was careful but that aluminum is unforgiving and you do want your fittings to be tight to prevent any leaks. I very well may purchase another. Im currently researching other options. I’m looking at the GX CS3 at the moment. But we will see. You can’t go wrong with a Yong heng, just know what you are getting into and be prepared to replace something after a good amount of usage. And keep in mind if you can find the part especially fittings you will need it’s gonna take a month to receive. I really miss it already, they are great machines. They build pressure pretty quickly and is a real work horse. Just need to filter it and like I said maintain it and prepare for the moisture. That’s all I got for ya.

Do you believe that this compressor would have the same longevity if you had not added these refinements ? After all you are not really reviewing the original compressor in its original guise.

no I doubt it would have the same longevity if I weren't going to these lengths to keep it as cool as possible.

So you had to build and add a large, $200 twin-cylinder water trap, you need a cooler for cold water, the "pressure-select unit broke not long after [you] got this unit" so now you have no way of knowing the pressure...OK. Then: " I have no doubt that it traps all the water...(then) I get a little water out of the water trap on the other side, and I get a little water and oil out of this one too..." Sooooo, it "traps all the water" but you also get water out of two other places. Does this sentence make sense to you? Next: You had to add a high-speed fan, with ducting....you made an "upgrade" by adding a check-valve... got it. Nope. Just curious, couldn't you have bought an American compressor that had at least some of these items as part of it? You buy a "cheap" compressor, then spend more than its cost on the outboard stuff...

then buy something else lol, this video is obviously for people considering one of these. in total this setup cost less than 600 bucks. how much for the next best thing with all those precautions built in? btw, the auto pressure cutoff has nothing to do with knowing what pressure I'm at. the gauges are all functional, it just doesent turn itself off automatically anymore which I don't want it to. when I said that I got water and oil out of the other traps if you were paying attention youd note that those traps are on the machine before it gets to the twin cylinder separator. get it?

Now I see why hardly anyone gets into pcps out of ragular working people you gotta have funds or this hobby will lead you into a bunch of frustrations like me pump broke air venturi wont fix delays im out of air, This is what kept me shootin my gamo breakbarrel sold that cuz it was not it, No one will get into airguns unless they really get out of thair way no one accedently one day goes ohh I want a pcp airgun an goes out an buy all that shit, Nope this is the shit that detters 90% of people from those pcps.

Look at all that hastle man pcps are such a hastle I swear all this compressor pump shit I was worried about kept me away from them pcps lotta cost lotta hastle, My pump broke now I gotta research all this shit AHHHGGG damn pcp airguns man this hobby could get annoyin

yeah it's alot of work. pcps are not a simple hobby. you have to enjoy tinkering to enjoy pcp guns

Why not just buy a nice compressor?

I spent $600 total for so far almost 3 years of service... when this breaks I'll probably consider a higher quality unit

Лучше бы потратил деньги на промышленный компрессор.

Your set up is unnecessarily too complicated to put in place Looks expensive and time consuming You don’t need all that to be in the safe and efficient Zone Air flow in the exterior does cool down faster than cold water flowing in the compressor head

I hadn't thought about that. I wonder why so many cars use liquid cooling.
