On Board air ....again

(1/2) > >>

wizard:
Well after selling the Disco earlier in the year i now regret not taking the OBA system off.The guy that bought it said he would give it a good home and wouldn't strip it. (guess what happened)

I wanted to put a York air con compressor on the Defender but couldn't get the one i wanted, so I bought a T max double piston compressor from Bearmach for

tomo-tdi:
This is something ive been looking at over and over and i think im probably going to do it would love to see some pics mate

Saffy:
what did you use for plumbing? when I played around using a similar compressor into pressure regulated tank I used the supplied air line and it always got too hot/melted and blew the joints. I would have liked to have plumbed that bit in metal but other project took over.

wizard:
On the engine driven compressor I used copper tubing because the  air was so hot it would melt the standard nylon pipe.
So far i have used standard nylon pnumatic pipe, I might swap it all for copper pipe when I get a bit more time.
I have run the Tmax compressor for 10 min and although the air was warm it was no where near hot enough to melt the pipes.

I will post some pix later.

Saffy:
can the standard landrover tdi aircon compressor be used? I presume the york is used because of the way its cooled/lubricated.
