TUXING 4500PSI PCP Air Compressor Review
- Thread starter bthurman
- Start date
Ok, so how does this compressor manage to stay cool using just that little radiator when mine goes very quickly to 70 or 75 celcius when using a much larger radiator and a lot more water? Even with a constant supply of tap water mine can't stay under 70C. I have to use ice in my water.
They're basically both compressing the same amount of air per minute, so they should be generating the same amount of heat. I don't get it.
Here's my setup:

Any ideas?

Yong Heng, Radiator vs Ice, my results so far (Video added)
So I have a Yong Heng and I was using it with a 28qt Coleman cooler full of water and ice, but I wanted to add a radiator so I wouldn't have to use ice anymore and make a closed loop cooling system. this is a test setup and not everything is screwed into its final position. So, first I tried it...

Cylinders are separate and each cooled. Also oil quality, heatsink design, cooling channel design etc make a difference.Ok, so how does this compressor manage to stay cool using just that little radiator when mine goes very quickly to 70 or 75 celcius when using a much larger radiator and a lot more water?

I haven't done so but, the oil also gets heated you could use an automotive oil cooler? 70 degrees is very good.

I should be receiving my 2nd Tuxing (TXED011) next week. Need that important back up
hopefully it will run as good as the 1st one.

I live in Texas and I have a Yong Heng that I cool with a 5 gal bucket of 50/50 distilled water and radiator coolant aluminum compatible. I never run it more than 15 min. If Temps get past 50 C (122F) I wait 5 min for it to cool off. The Tuxing double cylinder I'm running on 2.5 gal, but with a double fan PC cooling radiator. For the Tuxing double in a 20 min run the temp goes to 49C (120F). However, I believe what makes a difference is also the oil I am using. The Royal Purple brakes down and turns black only after 30 min of running. It also leaves black carbon deposits on the piston rings. At times when I first changed the oil with RP, the safety pressure vale/copper membrane popped for over pressure. This indicated to me that the RP oil combusts around 4000 psi. The Nuvair oil after 4 hours of runtime it is still clear, and compressor runs smother with less noise and the safety valves never pop.Ok, so how does this compressor manage to stay cool using just that little radiator when mine goes very quickly to 70 or 75 celcius when using a much larger radiator and a lot more water?

With that said, a friend of mine gave me a Yong Heng compressor that gave out with only 1 hour of working time. It could not build pressure past 2000 psi. I run it and the temperature shoots up to 75 C (168F) in 3 minutes. The temperature gets so high that the high pressure tubing turns dark blue. I cleaned the lines, and the high pressure check valve, and replaced the piston and rings. It still overheats. Still no idea why? I now bought the entire high and low pressure bleed valve blocks to replace to see if it fixes the problem. I do not need this compressor, I just trying to solve the problem.
So it could be something unusual and wrong with your Yong Heng as well as it is with what my friend gave me.

Did anybody ever figure out the proper size, and type of oring we should use ? I am tired of replacing the ones tuxing sells.

I ended up using 22x2.4mm Viton 75A Durometer o-rings as replacement, it was a nice tight fit, and they've been holding up ever since (over a year).

I've owned a Tuxing (TXEDO11) since July 14th, 2021. Last fall, I installed a rebuild kit, and it's still performing well. It charges my two CF tanks to 4500 psi. For cooling, I use a 5-gallon cooler, filling it with 2-3 gallons of water and topping it off with blocks of ice. The oil I use is Triax Kompressor MV. I've ordered another TXEDO11 as a backup. In 2023, I purchased the TXEDT31, but it was subpar; the built-in filter was merely cotton, and the digital gauge was consistently inaccurate. It seems the simpler model was superior.

I've been using Seco Lube 500 on my Tuxing 032, really like it, not cheap, but cheaper than buying a new compressor.. https://filtertechs.com/product-category/oil-media/compressor-oil/

It's bad. 115v is basically unusable for most people. I'm likely to convert it to a cheap gasoline engine and have the auto stop cut the engines ignition.

I am a large volume shooter I need a lot of air.
I have this mine YH for over 64 hrs or 4 years, rebuilt it 2x and next surgery is up again. I have enough parts in my drawers (ordered spares "on time") that the low-high pressure is not a problem for me, but second time the piston rod seized on crank ... I tried to fix the surface with little polishing and seized again...and replacing that crank alone these days is hard to find even on aliexpress.
Now I am just running the math.... ordering a YH again from aliexpress my bill will end up very close to ordering a Tuxing from amazon...
Next up would be a Hill, but I cannot justify the 3x the price tag...
So, Tuxing ... what model with water cooling? I can dual purpose the big orange dual stage oil/water separator from existing YH setup.

If you're a volume shooter, get something big that is totally comfortable filling an scba. I went thru 3 yong hengs, 2 slow speed shoebox knockoffs, then spend 1700 on a tuxing scuba pump and it's been worth every penny and the compressors I killed wouldve bought the big dog. My only advice is to go gasoline powered as the power requirements are quite high on the 115 v i bought. Should've gone 220v, now I have to re motor or gas engine convert. I can fill my 2 scba and my buddies (2)as well in under 30 minutes from 2800 psi state of discharge.
