Processor pressure switch

[K.H]

Pin received,many thanks

[Rotary-Motion]

what if you used a venturi to circulate the air instead of it being stagnant in the head space?

like with the condenser idea...

whats the fridge compressor for?

The bolt down inspection hatch is off so it shouldnt be stagnant or is it?
The fridge compressor is to pump air into the bottom through a sparge pipe to speed up dewatering then i will add a condenser so that i know the oil is dewatered

hmmm this thread has got me thinking, if you look at paint spraying they have an inline water separater / catcher to get the moisture  out while pumping air through, wouldnt you get this water/moisture going in the reactor via this fridge compressor which would be detrementle to the cause?

although same with a cindenser/venturi idea but maybe not as much as a compressor?

just a thought chappers....

Nice looking compressor, I'll keep an eye out for any more he lists.

I wont be bidding,feel free Tony

Have a look at Julians pic on page 2,it includes a water trap

Just been reading through this thread and to answer Julian F's problem about setting the switch,
if you use a large bore pipe inside the reactor it displaces more air,
this will activate the switch with a much finer tolerance.

I use 15mm and I estamate that it needs around 12" to 15" to be submurged before it will trip the switch.

Bugger,just used 15 on mine,not too much of a problem to change tho,might just change whats inside the tank

[Head Womble]

I've got a couple of 28/15 reducers so if I get another two of those thanks I'll use 28mm in the tank and 15mm at the exit,
that should give me quite a fine level tolerance.

Spoke to the driver that brings the tanks in yesterday, he said he can get me some when ever I wont them,
so as soon as the new shed is up I'll give him a shout.

I've got 15mm in tank and the switch has two trips, one that trips at 2.5" submersion, one at 5".  So it must depend on which pressure switch you use.

I've got some hotpoint ones for the new reactor (very common metalflex) so I'll test those with 15mm in a water filled coke bottle before fitting.

[K.H]

Not sure what make mine is but it has two trips

[Head Womble]

That looks the same as mine Keith.
But mine was "adjusted" before I got it so it may need more or less pressure to switch it than yours does.

[Tony]

It'd be good to get everyone's experience on trigger depth and put it on the wiki page.

[K.H]

Had a rummage about and found this old switch,any ideas on how it should be fitted/wired?

[Tony]

That's an interesting bit of kit - where on earth did you find that?

[K.H]

I had two,one came on a pump the other off an old compressor,trouble is i cant remember how to plumb it in,with just the two terminals i guess it may be a case of just breaking the live
