I went in with a friend on a new Yong Heng compressor. I filled one of my rifles with it initially a month ago but neither of us had the opportunity to use it to fill a tank until yesterday. For cooling we were just going to use distilled water and ice in a 5 gallon bucket which is what I used initially.
Backing up a bit my friend Randy installs and repairs beverage systems for bars and restaurants part time now but did that full time for half his life so he has access to equipment that most of us aren't used to seeing. As you see I guess he couldn't resist going a little crazy with keeping Yongy cool!
So underneath the bench is a commercial grade beverage chiller using Glycol which he hooked up to Yongy. If you let the system cool down it'll get down to 30 degrees or so. We just waited a few minutes and let it get down to 50 degrees and started filling our 3 tanks. The temp gauge on Yongy stayed around 40C and the chiller got down to 40F when Yongy was running.
Hopefully Yongy will last a while longer than normal keeping it cool.
Randy built the stand for the filter as well.
I was impressed that it only took 17 minutes to fill my large CF tank to 4300 psi from around 3300psi.
