Dual running Yong Heng's?

Looks like it was never actually done, only talked about?

Dual Yeng Hong Compressor

Ok has anyone put together and dual Yeng Hong.. so there is less stress but fills fast and is still cheaper than most compressors.. I have been thinking of building a rack to use with a cooler tank and filter for water and oil seperation and making it semi portable. Think it could be the perfect...

Two other notable items in my mind is having each compressor on a different circuit. Realistically the yh fills pretty fast filling maybe only slower than a 230 volt Alkin which is a very large leap in itself. Maybe alternate between one and the other as one cools but if operating both at same time maybe opening the restriction in fill line so there is more flow and hopefully less work needs to be done by both compressors?

Hoping some one has a dual setup running and can do some show and tell.

A YH is at best a 30l/min~1gal/min compressor (good luck with that!) and my MCH-6 runs 100l/min on a micro bore hose.
So plumbing is of no consern what so ever running parallel.
But you could run them one at a time, one while the other one cools.
That's twice the water and ice mess, and changing desiccant, so theres that.

My bauer is probably slower than the YH at 82 l/m but I can run that thing on and on and not have to worry about it doing the bad stuff people are afraid of on the YH. I only ran my YH like 2 hours total but during that time it was as fast or faster than the Bauer during actual running time. I just did not like dragging it to the swimming pool because I was too lazy to get ice, fill a bucket, and then there is the waiting for it to cool off all the time.

Just run it both thru one filter/dryer. No need for two.

Thank you to all the members that chimed in. Since I already have 2 Hong Yengs, I normally run them separately for 15 mins at a time and on the same 20 amp circuit breaker. I don't have 2, 20 amp wall outlets close to each other and I won't run an extension cord for one of them. So this nixes my idea of a tandem YH setup. I just thought I could save some time when I refill my 98 cubic in tanks ;which takes about 45 mins to fill using both compressors one at a time.
