    Hi, can you tell me what you fill your filter with? I'm experimenting with the ratio of molecular sieve and activated carbon, in a 32cm filter, so far 70/30 is giving almost odorless air. I'm using Royal Purple fully synthetic oil. I use the air to deep clean my pool, average depth is 1.5m, max 2m. Done 2 hours so far with no ill effects, but I'd never use this air any deeper. I rent my gear when I go recreational diving because I live a very remote area of the Philippines and taking my own stuff is a nightmare.

    A while back i bought a similar compressor and air filter and everything, but my diving school prohibited me from using it as it's impossible to guarantee that the air is healthy clean. Official filling stations are sampled and checked by a lab to prove that the air is good, and that the machinery is almost guaranteed to keep working in that clean way. If you want to poison yourself it's your own choice, but your buddy is also depending on the air quality in your tank. Which makes it rude to fill your tank with this.

    did you ever get a test on your breathable air? these things diesel the oil in the compression chamber and actually have a lot of carbon monoxide in the air. how are u dealing with this?

    • @MattP-oz6ps
      @MattP-oz6ps Před rokem

      There are a couple of factors that I found. All the oil will diesel if you over filll it. The ISO 100 hydrolic oil will start to diesel around the 5-6th run and its rams up quickly from 5ppm to 20ppm to 30ppm of CO, even if you keep it it cool aswell. The basic remedy is to get Seco Lube sythenthic oil or something similar, its expensive and does not create any carbon monoxidewith oxygen levels that stay constant at 20.1. The smell, when venting out water, is way better too, even the air smells the same at a scuba shop. My tests show low moisture, no dangerous ppm, no orders, and VOC was fine too. However you still have to keep the compressor cool below 55c which can be accomplished by pumping cold faucet water into the machine and out into the fasucet drain as the machine will stay at 45c and can lower down to 40c if you run a blower fan on it.

  • @MattP-oz6ps
    @MattP-oz6ps Před rokem

    I have roughly the same compressor and the same setup for my air guns, I did get my air tested and it is, in fact, breathable air with secolube brand oil, no CO, oxygen level of 20.4, low PPM, VOC, with no odor. For reference, my scuba shop gets CO 2ppm @ 3000psi, so this diy system works ironically better (when I tested it, who knows how low it would last). You don't actually need to have a back pressure regulator to get clean air. I don't recommend anyone to do this just for safety reasons, just get your tank filled at the scuba place. This is not economical to do you would have to refill your tanks 50 to 80 times from empty to full to break even to the scuba shop $10 per tank refill. Or even more assuming you don't have to change the expensive oil or other parts don't break. Nevertheless it is pretty cool that such a small compressor can get up to such a high pressure to fill a large 60 min tank.

    • @Technie87
      @Technie87 Před rokem

      It works but you need more filter stages to be ABSOLUTELY safe for breathing air. I left a comment on his "do it yourself scuba breathing" video describing the stages. If you are using it for airguns all you need is Seccolube 500 or equivalent oil, oil/water separator, cotton/charcoal/cotton filter, and a PMV @ 2k psi to pressure release valve (also acts as a one way valve). This allows you to bleed the compressor side before you shut it off.

    • @MattP-oz6ps
      @MattP-oz6ps Před rokem

      This is exactly my set up, since I do a ton of PCP shooting and not too much scuba diving. Breathable air oil that is diester based, water & oil seperator, cotton, desicants, molecular, charcoal, and cotton. This is excluding the parts that are inside of the compressor, which don't work to remove water. I did buy a PMV valve but I found it was not necessary for my setup. I have a couple of air quality measurement tools and yes they are needed. I first fill up my PCP tank then slowly transfer the air to the scuba tank after the air quality tests clean. The PCP tank stays above 2000psi and I fill it to 300bar, so the PMV is not need in this circumstance. There is already a one way value in the compressor. One time with my set up I got 9ppm of CO, since these Chinese machines hate heat above 55c, which caused the high piston to carbon up. The carbon piston was weird, its not like normal burn on oil, it was black but had the consistently like grease. I didn't need to clean it since it was under the 10PPM of CO excepted level in the US but I cleaned the high piston out anyways to get the CO back down to 0ppm. Again what I'm doing is not recommended one bit.

      @@drywallman1986 what you’re saying makes no scientific or medical sense. The oxygen level is absolutely the same going into and out of this compressor. The risk with oil based “air’ compressors in terms of breathing is lipoid pneumonia… the diester oil addresses this point. The danger really is if someone tries to compress enriched air I.e. higher concentration oxygen. That’s when unrated oils, combined with pressure results in a possible explosion.

    Excellent build, and explanation, Sir! Would you be as so kind to provide links, or if anybody else could on the Whole Filtration system parts sources? I was lucky to find an Electric Poseidon "UNI" model 3.5 CFM Compressor. Several decades old but with maybe 10 max 80Cu tank fills in its whole life. The issue is I have hit brick walls sourcing any of the Old Filter designs as they are now "Obsolete" I searched for even NOS filters, with no luck, as well. So, like you I only wish for Clean Air going into these lungs of mine, and some directions as to what you sourced would be pure gold. I was quoted over $1,100.00 for a custom build from Bauer, who made the Compressor head section for Poseidon to begin with. Poseidon as a Company is no longer, and Bauer sort of bought them out. The USA Factory reps do not wish to support us small fries and cater to the Huge Compressor market mostly! If anyone else has any suggestions as well, I'd appreciate your input, as well! Thanks for a great understandable build, and use of your compressor! It should last you, because of your enhancements galore! Great JOB!!!

    I am a Bauer and Nuvair factory technician, and the only thing I can say is that, wow, you've done your research, and you nailed all the key points. Maybe find a more effective way to do aftercooling, like using a coil of stainless tubing. And the final stage separator should be installed right after the final stage but after all the filters since moisture reduces the effectiveness of all the filters. The PMV should be something individual instead of built-in and installed after the final filter. Maybe consider installing remote air intake, dew point monitor and Co monitor as well as performing air testing to be compliant with Grade D breathing air or CSA 275.2. Also, consider replacing all the filters with a Bauer triplex.

      In the process of setting up a Yong Heng compressor for PCP Airgunning. I removed the cigarette filter and went straight to a oil/water separator(the gold filter you see here with a drain) and a single cotton/charcoal/cotton filter. I also purchased Seccolube 500 which is similar to the diester based oil mentioned here for air purity. This is good enough for shooting If I was going to trust my life to a compressor like this I would run this layout: compressor > oil/water separator > molecular sieve> cotton/charcoal/cotton filter> PMV valve After doing all this, you SHOULD be safe. But if you want to be sure you can contact a lab and see if the air is considered breathing safe. They will provide you with instructions on how to send them the air. I would advise AGAINST the current setup that he is using now, I personally think that he is using the BARE minimum for breathable air. I would rather spend a few hundred dollars on the proper filtration rather than passing out and dying underwater or getting some sort of lung disease because of the contaminants breathed in and paying THOUSANDS in medical bills. I wasn't aware of a PMV - Thank you for informing us on that. Great Video!
