So i was all psyched up to blast the horns at midnight… And the weather wasnt on my side! Its 8 degrees here in buffalo ny, with a windchill of negative 3…
Compressor couldnt fill up tank so i only had bout 60 psi in there, and what little did come out it sounded terrible as if there was water in the air line frozen… :o What a way to ruin a good night! :mad:
I GOT TO UPLOAD MY VIDEOS OF MY K5LA, K3LA, LESLIE RS3J, AND LESLIE A-200 ALL AT ONCE. AND THEN CAME THE kahlenberg came on line tonight with the NEW DUAL 50 GALLON TANKS
my buddy had a air zenith and it was -28* here one day in korea and there was moisture frozen in the lines and the compressors head blew right off…all that back pressure…never had a problem with my OASIS COMPRESSORS…
Not necessarily, I have customers in Canada that have run our compressor below -15 degrees. I would think that Viair could work below their rating too. I guess it depends on just how cold it gets.
That’s really true for me being a native Californian who’s lived here all but 2 years. Both years were during my Air Force days. 1 year in San Antonio for basic training and school, the other was in Thailand.
The only time I had to experience that kind of cold was a 2 week vacation in the suburbs of Cincinnati while visiting relatives.
From my experiece w/ the cold, when it hits freezing, the compressor pretty much runs nonstop trying to fill up the tank. My tank has been drained empty now for a couple weeks from this extreme cold we have had. It was 3 degrees here other day with -25 windchill! I definately have a small leak somewhere in my setup that the cold found. Im planning on pretty much redoing my setup come decent weather. Either bigger tank or adding on another 3 gal to my current 3 gal setup… Plus new lines, etc.
