Gx cs4-i and omega 75 cuft tank

Jump to latest Follow Reply
The CS4 is rated with a 5 hour run cycle, however the specs say 66cuft tank. You may want to split the fill session and allow it to cool off in between.

Also, Best Fittings makes a one-way valve that helps a lot with filling air tanks, it removes the back pressure on the compressor and takes the initial start off load off the compressor as well when resuming a fill session.

I think 45cf I'd rated for 6.8L filling .

Like a 53 cu. ft. (7.6 liter)

I'd assume if you stage filling it would eventually fill a 80cf. Like do 3 or 4 run session's ..

I guess at worse it fails to or burns up . Lol.

It's not pressure it's volume isdues

Just a bleed valve. Same as other GXs.

I have been meaning to ask about this because the "user manual" that came with mine specifically states:

"...automatic separation of gas and water structure design..." and although I can't quote where I read it, I do remember reading that the GX CS4 claims to have a water separation capability that requires no replacement or maintenance.

Yeah... I know... too good to be true, but I have never seen anyone actually address this issue nor show how this is supposedly accomplished from a "stock" CS4, either the CS4 or CS4-I.

Oh well, I rarely fill my working airguns past 2700psi. For my Fortitude, that is because the regulator is failing and seems to do better if I don't fill to the max of 3000psi.

The Akela simply shoots a very consistently flat fps string from about ~2650psi to ~2450psi. Shot count is not my goal. Accuracy/precision is.

All my best!

I guess I should start a new thread topic, but I am wondering how these new "regulated" airguns that can take 4500psi or more will affect the life span of the regulators. Have they made regulators handle this higher pressure better? I doubt it.

Yes, the GX compressors technically "separate" the air and water, but thru no marvel of modern technology. Here's a pic of the block that the air goes into, pressure is tapped off, as is output air to gun/tank, as well as the drain valve. There is no room inside for anything advanced, probably just a chamber for water to settle into as the air passes over it. I would imagine it's nothing more than a cavity where the air comes in at the middle, rises to the top (outlet to Foster), and the water drops (gravity) into the bottom of the cavity where the bleed screw allows it to open and blow downwards (as well as outwards around the threads of the bleed screw).

I filter as the air comes out, as well as bleed the air every 10-15 minutes while pumping.

ETA: Thanks to @1900colt, we now know that GX puts a small quantity of water coalescing beads in that block underneath the gauge. This helps the system trap more water.

When filling my guns, although I have never actually timed it, I doubt the compressor runs for more than 2 minutes. And I don't pump, hand or compressor, when the humidity is high, based on the Dew Point, not the RH alone.

Oh well, I hand pumped for several years (and still do from time to time) following the same philosophy and never have had issues with moisture or corrosion from moisture. I only fill my guns and don't have any tanks. Don't need them for what I do.

All my best!

What other filters do you guys use? Could you layout you setup for me?

Thanks

I'm using this with a stand I rigged up. FYI, this filter uses 1/8 bspp threads. I'm using a 90° elbow on the bottom inlet. You will need a longer whip for the outlet. They just give you a short one in the box.

Post #1 lists both filters I use: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/2024-cs4-setup.1307075/

Another option: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/anyone-using-this-toauto-moisture-filter.1307823/

And: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/gx-cs2-compressor-water-filter-change.1308404/post-1697643

There are dozens of threads here about filters. Type FILTER into the search bar above and you'll quickly see what most are using.
