SupraJames Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Am selling my air compressor as not really using it all that much. It is an Ingersoll Rand older model but still in great quality and is ideal for running air tools or maybe a spray gun. Its on a 240v plug and standard female air line output. Not sure on tank capacity but it is a large compressor. £200 and must be collected due to size and weight. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 What is the cfm ? it should be on the plate by the gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I can not find any CFM rating on the compressor at all, checked the Ingersoll Rand website and cant see any CFM rating for any of their new products either The figures on the plate by the gauges I will assume as just for the Air Tank and read Test Press 16.5 Bar, Des Press 11 Bar It is an Ingersoll Rand Model EN3C20B Looking at the specs of a 1.5 Kw Motor with approx 100L Tank and comparing it to the new models I would guess the CFM at around 8-9 but as I said that would be a very rough guess.

SupraJames Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 The new version of a very similar compressor with a 1.5Kw motor and a 100L tank gives a 8.8 CFM rating and retails at close to £2100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxv8 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 mines the same size as that and is 12 cfm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Bugger I need a compressor that will kick out at least 16.5 cfm I already have one that's 12.5 and that won't run my airfed mask and a gun at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah think this is too small then for a large CFM rating like that you are looking at spending a lot more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxv8 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 are you sure...maybe its more then as it painted many cars,runs d/a,air ratchets etc etc and never goes below half tank...whatever it is it must be at least 12 cfm stick it on ebay as mine was 300 s/hand...that will sell easily...

SUPRALOOPY Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 A d/a will not run properly for more than a couple of mins on 12cfm without the motor kicking to try and keep up. I have an extra tank and it just can't keep up. Same sort of problem with the airfed mask and gun. I may still come and look at this though if that's ok as I have an idea.
