Daystate compressor test : Please Help

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I have a new 3 stage LC110. I just ran the originally requested test at the start of this thread, with the stock hose into a closed valve on the tank. It took 70 seconds from bleed valve closure to the electronic automatic shutoff at 4600 psi indicated on the compressor's gauge. It reads slightly higher on my tank gauge, about 4700. 

The volume being filled and the flow rate (minus any leakage) determines how fast this will occur. On the LC110 the water separator has a fair amount of volume, plus the volume of the substantial filling hose. Some compressors like the Yong Heng have much smaller water separators and shorter hoses so will take less time at similar flow rates.

I did this measurement with a video to accurately capture the start and end times.

OK, Kip called me they are sending me an entirely new compressor head at no charge. This is more then I expected and a testament as to what a class act AOA is.

Now the other side of that I’ve been a a first class client. 

Im sure you guys are going to ask what the problem was and unfortunately I can’t tell you. 

I think there was a defect from the beginning. I did not ask the tech. He said he was having issues getting parts and decided the best solution was to just send a new pump to solve the problem. WORKS FOR ME Thanks Kip and AOA

I got the new compressor head today. I reassembled the unit filled it with oil and ran it for a few seconds. It sounds entirely different then it did (which is a good thing). Tomorrow I’ll do the break in procedure as out lined by AOA. Some one ask me what they recommended it is as follows.

1) three cycles of 20 minutes of running with the air valves open with 20 minutes of cool down between 

2) close the air hose and pressurize just the hose. Wait 20 minutes 

2) fill an air tank from 3000 to 4500 and change the oil.
