10 HP Gardener Denver Air Compressor

[Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] all right so we have this thing all unpackaged we're gonna go ahead and unhook that compressor there get that one out of there and we're gonna put this one up on that mezzanine there we should have just enough room to put that right there now um that's the only spot we have the three-phase power uh to run this compressor with however what we're gonna do is we're going to wire up a spa over in cold storage and move these move this compressor here along with those tanks and i also have an air dryer we're going to put that over in the cold storage just so that we don't have to listen to the compressor this compressor here it is a 10 horse and it runs at 1765 rpms the decibel level on this is supposed to be in the neighborhood of about 78 i believe now that ingersoll compressor that ran at like 30 400 and some odd rpms so it ran twice as fast as what that one runs and it was it was horribly loud that was a single phase unit that i bought about 20 years ago and then i bought that 60 gallon unit i can't remember what kind of a compressor that that had on there but they had a good one like a quincy or something that ran at the same speed that this one here did and that one of course there's no motors on there at all all we're using is the tanks for storage but that one was a three-phase unit a lot quieter and the reason why that ingersoll didn't last as long as they want to get their cfms up on paper to sell a unit that's given out a high amount of cfms however what they're doing is they're over speeding the pump to get that capacity and it just doesn't last as long that's more or less a homeowner special right there but we need the industrial one and that's what this here is now when those compressors there uh when they got tired and we phased out of them we ended up going to that rotary screw compressor to just get a little more life out of it however um they they only the the capacity on them the the maximum pressure that you're supposed to get out of them is about 125 and we just can't run an air gun we just can't do the job that we need to do with a one inch air gun so we ended up increasing the pressure on that other one up to 135 that was satisfactory uh for what we were doing however this one here um we could set it but it's a rental unit and we don't want to get into you know setting the pressure up on it and when i was doing the wheels on the tractor it just wasn't cutting it so we decided to go back to a reciprocating type compressor now the garage that we deal with that does a lot of work for us they have two quincy 10 horse units that they've had for 20 years and this one here ended up getting from d w diesel they had this one right in stock and i actually went down to hanson corey's the old saunders uh plant in marcellus they just bought one about a year ago i listened to it run it was doing the job that they need to do they're doing you know just as much heavy-duty work as we are if not more and it seems to ah do the job for them guys so this the maximum pressure on this one you can run this one up to 175 uh pounds of pressure and uh that way we'll get the maximum amount of work out of these impacts that we have this has an automatic drain on it as well we're going to be running a dryer on it as well so um this has got you know the automatic water ejection on it so that it'll automatically drain out the uh moisture that is accumulated on the inside of the tank so we'll go ahead and get that compressor brought down and then we'll get that one setting into place all right we've got it down here we we've brought it down safely now i had a comment on the video when i put this up there and somebody said i violated every osha law there was um i don't know what they meant i don't know if you're not supposed to overhead lift anything with the forklift or what but um we're just gonna clean this up it's got a little bit of dust and dirt on it um but this thing has got like 9 000 hours on it and um it does look like brand new so we want to send it back to them in the condition that we got it in so tim's just gonna wipe it down i need to uh evacuate the air out of the tank that'll blow everybody's eardrums if it didn't already all right we're gonna clean this up it came with a box that went down over the top of it and uh tim is gonna return this to him [Music] well we've got this wired up we had to switch a um module thing around in there switch it from 230 volt to 460 volt so we're going to go ahead and turn this on and we're gonna see how it sounds i don't know how loud this one's gonna be we've got a master switch right here and there we go so we don't actually have it hooked up to the other tanks yet i've got a refrigerant air dryer here this is a kaiser i've got to get some fittings for it we've got to hook up a filter coming off of the one end of the tank it's going to go into the dryer air is going to come back out of the dryer and we're going to run it over to those other two tanks there well let that let that run let it pump up the pressure and i had to get a little help from our electrician make sure i was wiring things right and um that was handy to have him help me with that he actually sent me a diagram uh he drew it out on a piece of paper so i want to thank brian for doing that we have saxton electric too a lot of our electrical work around here and them guys are real handy so we'll get that hooked up here a little later on after i get some fittings for it we'll show you what else we've been working on here we've got the utility body almost put together uh that cage uh there that basket was mounted on the right hand side of this utility body and then there was a cab shield that went on here we're not going to put the cab shield back on there we have decided to run that basket across the front now we've got the gas drive harbor freight special uh air compressor that's in the front of the body on the right hand side we had the welder crossways up in the front on the left and that kind of limited uh the working part of this utility body you know we only had the back few feet we had the torches on this side and of course um we have changed things around a little bit so what we're gonna do is we're going to mount the welder on this back left side and then we're going to put the air compressor on the right hand side and then we're thinking of putting the torches up front then i can carry a a pallet of seed in here it's not going to exactly fit between the wheel wells but we could set it on a couple of uh six by sixes or something to to miss them uh wheel wells there so we're going to have a little more uh working space of the body here so everything is slowly coming together that box there is ready to come off of the truck and we got looking at it it's not in that bad of shape it would make somebody a good um quick uh service body to put on their truck maybe we should sell it kind of kidding but i imagine it'll go right in the scrap truck but it's pretty well rusted out um you can see it's all kind of flexed itself right there from the weight of the body um yeah kind of she's kind of shot so that is that so we're going to lift that off tomorrow and uh set this one on there so it is i don't know how much pressure it's up to made a couple of pissing sounds here i don't know exactly what it's doing but i kind of wanted it to uh get up to operating pressure here it is up to like one uh 125 right now i don't i don't know why this is like that but i should read the manual this has got an automatic shutdown if the oil gets too low on it and yeah i like it it's not all that loud not as loud as i thought it would be up to 150 so we'll join back with you here once it gets up to pressure but um what we had to do is we had to take this unit here out and switch it with that one that was like 90 bucks and um what that's allowing this to do is run it's three-phase power if i better run it on 230 volt it's running on 460. all right we're at 160 pounds of pressure want to make sure this shuts off at 175 or and there it is right at 175 and then it's got an automatic unloader on it so that when the air compressor starts up again it doesn't have pressure on the heads so i'm going to pick up my tools here and yeah all right so we played around with this a little bit and what that pissing was when we first started it it has an automatic water ejection on the tank and you can set that for how long it pisses out the air so to blow off the moisture off the bottom of the tank you could set that anywhere from a half a second with the length of the airflow to 10 seconds and you could set it anywhere from a half a minute to 45 minutes in other words wherever you have the timer set at and i have it set at 45 minutes right now so every 45 minutes it's gonna automatically eject the water off the tank the cut in pressure is set at 90 psi and the cutout is at 175 bang just that couple sentences or just a little bit of talking i did that's how fast this pumps up so if you followed all my previous videos that compressor that we had in here would always be running but it wasn't it wouldn't be running under load what it what that rotary compressor did and the beauty behind them is what it does is when the cut end pressure turns it on it builds up the pressure and once it builds up the pressure it unloads itself and the pump is just idling and the reason why it is idling it is thing it thinks that you are calling for air so if you're working with an air tool or something it's already running and then once that pressure gets down to the point where it needs to cut back in that loader valve engages again and it comes up the pressure and therefore the pump is not always starting and stopping under an event where you're calling for air now we've got a lot of airline running through the shop here and once in a while we run into little tiny leaks and i think the reason why this one is going to work good if you get a little tiny leak it's got a leak from 175 pounds down to 90 before it turns on so it's going to take a long time to go from 175 to 90. however once that thing kicks on it comes up in a hurry and i'm going to have to look back at the timer on this video here on how long it took to bring itself up to pressure um i think it was only about a minute and a half so um we're liking this thing already it's every once in a while i would have to turn that other compressor off just so that i could hear myself think and then i would forget to turn the damn thing back on and this one seems to be quieter than the other one tim he's got hearing aids he says not so he's hearing the sounds a little different than we can but um if we get to the point where we don't want any noise in here we are going to move it out of here and put it in cold storage just so we don't have to hear the compressor but it would be nice to be able to have it right where you're working all the time and it'll force you to maybe keep the oil checked on it and make sure the dam air filters ain't falling off of it and whatever like that but i think that's going to be a great unit for us get the air dryer hooked up get the moisture out of the lines maybe save on some tools a little bit here we don't run the most expensive air tools and we don't run a lot of air tools but that would save on the longevity of the tools so i think tomorrow we'll have some fun mounting that thing on there won't we tim all right we've got the new compressor all hooked up this unit here is the old one it's very similar to the unit that we are renting it's a 10 horsepower rotary screw compressor the one that we were renting that one there was a self-contained unit it had an air tank on the base of it and then it also had a refrigerated air dryer on it so we just got the compressor all hooked up we'll take you over we'll show you that so we've got this compressor all set up and you'll see just to the right of it there's a yellow unit and what that is is a refrigerated air dryer i ended up buying that just before the compressor actually took a crap now we end up getting a lot of moisture in the airlines in the shop here and we have had problems with that forever and i just finally got to the point where i said you know we're gonna have to get an air dryer and um well now we have one and it is working in conjunction with the new compressor now that unit there um what i'm doing is i'm running the air out of the the right hand side and through a filter unit that's going over into the refrigerated air dryer and then we're running off of the the dryer over into the two storage tanks now i opted to keep both of them tanks just so that we could have a more just so that we could have more of a supply of air we've got a 60 and an 80 gallon they're not hurting us at all we probably don't need them but it is smart just to just to have a little extra storage to uh maybe run an air gun a little longer than what you need to or or whatever now before i bought this one i was gonna buy another uh rotary screw compressor now that rotary screw compressor that we were using um that had a maximum pressure rating of 125 psi we were moving the wheels on the 7290 and i could not loosen some of the bolts just because i was not getting the pressure uh that was needed to run the one inch air gun our old unit that would run up to 135 psi and that extra 10 pounds of pressure was just enough to run that impact and give it an adequate amount of air to do the job that it needed to to do well i didn't want to buy a another rotary screw compressor unless i could get one that had a little more of a higher pressure rating than what that one that we were using the one we were renting uh currently had now they all typically run right around that 125 to 135 pressure rating this unit here runs at 175 psi in other words it'll pump up to 175 pounds of pressure and it'll shut off and we have the we we can dial that down at this point i'm going to leave it at 175. we might dial it down to 150 and we currently have it set so it'll kick on at 90 psi now earlier on uh in the video here we did a pump up and i was kind of talking and we let it run down to 90 psi and then kicked it back up and and it pumped up rather fast from 90 to 175 and i actually timed it here a little while ago and it takes uh five and a half minutes to pump up from zero to 175 and then you run the air down to 90 have it kick on and then from 90 to 175 it only takes a minute so that is not gonna run as long as the rotary screw did um i think i described it earlier on in the video here uh the reasons why the rotary screw would run so much longer this one here also has a automatic water ejector on it i think i described that as well that has a timer on there and you could have it eject anywhere from zero uh 30 seconds up to 45 minutes and then you can also set a timer on there for how long you want it to blow off any moisture that you have in the tank that refrigerated air dryer that has the same timer on it and that will blow off any moisture that it has accumulated um i'm running a filter unit off that new compressor it goes over into the refrigeration unit then the air comes out of that refrigeration area unit and it starts feeding those extra storage tanks and then out of the the tank on the left we have it feeding the um supply lines in the shop that compressor also has a low oil uh shutdown feature on it so once the oil in the pump if that gets low that will shut the unit off and it won't let you run it again until you add oil and then you have to hit the reset on it so that is a nice feature i think the ingersoll at one time had that on there too but um that unit there ran twice as fast as this one this one's going to last twice as long just because the pump doesn't have to turn as many rpms it's a two-stage reciprocating uh compressor it should serve us really well so far i really like it uh the whole time that i've been talking here that compressor has not turned on it has not turned on in the last 20 minutes to a half hour the other compressor that i had seems like that thing was always freaking running always running this unit here i ended up doing a uh i timed it on how long it would take to fill the the 120 gallon tank from zero to 175 it took five and a half minutes to fill i thought that was overly long but i never did figure out how long it took to fill uh the the other compressor on how long it took to fill these two tanks it kicks on at 90 psi so once the pressure drops it'll kick out at 90 and then when it pumps back up to 175 it only takes a minute to run from 90 to 175. and then it shuts off so if you have an air leak in the shop or something then you know if if it has to run it's not going to run that long to to bring itself back up to pressure now uh when we were taking wheels off of the 7290 i had problems with that other compressor that was only running at 125 psi and when i was looking at rotary screw compressors that generally seem to be right around the pressure rating that all of them ran at anywhere from 125 to 135 you could increase them but they don't really advise doing that and maybe that's why our other compressor didn't last as long this one is made to run up to 175 and it's going to run your air guns all day long that extra 10 pounds of pressure that um we were used to from running with our old compressor to running that rental unit made a real big difference because we could not get the bolts to loosen up that we're in the holding the duals on that 7290 i actually ran the gas drive compressor that's in the back of the army truck there to to do some of that work so this should serve us well um i like it so far and i think it's going to be a good uh solid unit that hopefully andrew and jared will be running it when they're my age so that's going to do it for this video folks i want to thank you for watching and we will catch you at the next video
