Air Compressor
TRAINING REQUIRED BEFORE USE.
Bambi BB24 on loan from marcin. There's also a “tiny” 3L one owned by the lab.
Safety
Compressed air is stored energy. If it escapes suddenly it will cause damage and injury.
Compressed air can perforate skin. Keep your hands away from the connectors and air outputs.
Air can blow debris in various directions. Wear safety glasses.
Air tools are the same as power tools (can remove fingers, break limbs, etc)
Don't use makeshift pressure vessels, respect pressure ratings.
The compressor operates on a max. 50% duty cycle, and the longest you can use it at full blast is 30 min.
General Usage Tips
Attached is a micro mist remover and precision regulator, so you can get very clean air at pressures 0-2bar with 0.02 bar accuracy.
If you need to go higher than that, you'll have to remove the precision regulator and use a regular one (also provided).
Close the drain valve before use, or the tank won't build up pressure.
Open the drain value after use (slowly, to allow the tank to decompress) and leave it open to avoid condensation (which can corrode the metal).
