240 tanks per day
based on 40 BAR / 588 psi reserve in an 80CF tank
It take 36 hours to pump 240 tanks of 80CF from a MCH16 Coltri or its equivalent...which is a 250 liters per minute comp.
You need a 400 liters per hour compressor and still need to run 18hrs/day non stop.
That is a tall order.
800 liters per minute is the capacity you need and at least 48 tanks if not more.
If you say remote area....assuming hand-carry portability is very important, order a European Bauer Mariner 200 with its superb carry chassis. 4 men can carry this safely.
BAUER COMPRESSORS - Compressors - Breathing Air - Portable Compressors - PROFI LINE II - MARINER 200
Order a P41 filter system too and choose 67724 filter cartridge with carbon monoxide remover as you will surely use gasoline powered Bauer. This filter cartridge will give you approx 300 tanks at 30C ambient temperature.
You will need at least 3 of the Mariner 200 if not 4. Depending how u want to "whore" them per day hours.
8 hours per day on such sports compressor ( agree with Ian ) is already a very ABUSED condition, more so if you ambient temperature is not cooler than 23C. Unless you use forced cooling blowers like I do at 50 Km/hour wind speed, one can still get away doing 8-10 hours a day on Mariner 200 ast 30C ambien temp....but still it will wear off fast, but it will not be damaged due to overheating. Normal wear n tear will occur.
DO manage intake snorkel well when using gasoline engine, as the Honda engine it uses will pump pout carbon monoxide at 150PPM or more 1 meter away from ist exhaust. No filter with CO remover can remove that much, 30 PPM CO is a safe average as removal efficiency. Ian will know better such numbers.
U will need gasoline this much on daily basis :
240 tanks x 0.45 liters pe tank = 108 liters or US gallon 28ish...........PER DAY !!! Wow, a liquid bomb it is.:depressed:
Basic calculator.
40 BAR reserve on a 80CF tank is approx 1,800 liter of air to top up.
Comp capacity speak liters per minute.
Work out what you actually need.
Portability limit is approx 130kg from a Bauer Mariner 200. I mean its the biggest one can carry.
Forget MCH16 ( 1,450 - 1,500 rpm ) , if you so choose Coltri, MCH13 tropicalized is bettter at 1,300 RPM.
Forget Bauer Mariner 250 ( 1,450 RPM )
Forget any compressor above 1,300 RPM if you want it to last for such project.
Many compressor manufacturers are simply pushing faster RPM for lower cost at higher output but = FASTER DEATH.
Same block ....same everything....just bigger and faster motor to "whore" the compressor block
All below are same block with faster and faster motor only :
Coltri - me dunno its block number
MCH13 1,300 to 1,350 RPM 4kw
MCH16 >>> 1,450 - 1,500 RPM 5.5 kw
MCH18 >>> 1,800 rpm 7.5 kw
Coltri capacity coding MCH13 is 13 cubic meter per hour. So 13,000 / 60 = 216 liters per minute, read it as 200 L/M
Bauer/Poseidon K120.2 block
Mariner or PE200 1,300 RPM 4kw
Mariner 250 or PE 250 >>>>> 1,450 RPM 5.5kw
Poseidon PE300 >>>>>>>>>>1,800 RPM 7.5kw
Bauer is smart, they dare not make 1,800 RPM model under Bauer brand...he he he. They let Poseidon do that shizt.
Nothing is free............slower RPM = Live longer, heavier based on output, cost more based on output.
Believe what IAN/HSM said about "sports compressor".
Good luck with your project...
