Recip Compressor

"i more than glad if anyone can share a technical explanation for that equipment's behaviour."

The equipment manufacturer would be the best source of this information, since you give no clue who that might be.

Try the operator's manual, or:

I'd die a thousand deaths first.

Then do you want to edit that picture out of post 1? Oops, too late.

The irony will be lost on the OP.

The thing I have to love about Windows 10 is how it magically decides it knows what I want to do next, then deletes emails I merely hovered the cursor over for more than 1 microsecond.

If I could just get that cursor to hover over my wife? Not really, she is a good kiddo, only 12 years older than me.

lyn

any "guru" will not recommend this in the forum. that would be the 1st thing as a operator you should be doing. i doubt, how u get the "guru" title.. maybe just because of the number of your reply.

maybe you should consult this guy

So, you're saying that you called the equipment manufacturer and the equipment manufacturer didn't know what your problem was????

Oh well.

That the equipment manufacturer has been approached by telephone is a detail that is absent from the original post, and is also absent from this reply.

Absence of information is the only information the forum has available. Please do something about it, and advise further. PICK UP THE PHONE AND TALK TO THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER! Then report back with the findings.

This is the first hyperbaric thread that CR4 has had in a long while, so please change expectations.

Plus, spread the problem out among the souls that comprise the <...we...>, and bring the minds of the rest of the <...we...> to bear upon it. First.

<...you should be doing...>

Invitation declined.

Really? You want to critique those whom you elicited a response from?

A little advice, since you seem not to have a lot of experience with this compressor:

(1) More pressure (and running hotter) takes more work, thus more force on the plunger, thus there is also probably some loss or thinning of lubricant film against the plunger during this part of operation. Be careful not to disintegrate your compressor!

(2) Have you actually read the operations manual for your compressor? Lost it? Dog ate it? Good luck - now see if you can find the boilerplate (nameplate) on the compressor, and then go fetch a telephone number for the manufacturer like a good boy, and get back to work.

(3) Vibration is a sure sign you are pushing the compressor outside its current workable operating range. Stop it. Change the oil once in a while. In fact, you should be doing oil analysis on this frequently to see if wear metal is showing up (especially after heavy loading on high temperature).

BTW - the guru title is bestowed by the site for a number of rated "good" answers. If you don't like the really good answer Lyn gave you, then pay attention to the next one after that, but you have no standing with which to start rating the posters on this web site. Lose the arrogance, or get lost.

The harder that you push things, the more weird stuff that happens.

That applies to CR4 as well.

let me guess..we are not talking lithium bromide??

Somebody needs some LiBr, or maybe the other way around, they need a six-pack of cold Bud-Lite.

2600 barg?!!!

You mean not everyone has a compressor that goes up to 38,000+ PSI?

Okay I don't either but now I really want one!

Air ? oil ? gas ? water ? what ? - just wonder.
