TLDR: My compressor is rapidly blowing 5k Burst discs, why might it do that?
My compressor is a Hill EC-3000 with about 11 hours of runtime.
It blew a 5k burst disc on the outlet hose area about a month ago, I bought a 2pack of 5k burst discs online.
The outlet hose area contains 2 burst discs, both 5k for redundancy I suppose.
I replaced the broke one and moved on, a month later (today) the 2nd one went, unsurprising I suppose.
So I replaced that today, and it lasted about 2 minutes, not even filling the first gun I tried to fill, it got to about 270 bar out of 300 bar and it popped.
What causes could this be?
A defective burst disc(as the other from the same place is still working well)? Or is there some problem in my compressor like excessive silicon oil feed or moisture buildup causing this?
