Hi have another compressor question - this time it is for a friend.
He has a fairly new (couple of months I believe) Nuvair Mini Tech compressor.
When running it keeps popping the 2nd stage safety valve.
I had him add a gauge in its palace for a quick test and the pressure reads about 85bar when the final thrust stage is at 200bar. The book says it should be about 45bar. The safety valve is apparently set for 65bar.
What would cause the 2nd stage pressure to get so high? Is there anything I can get him to check? Is he still able to fill tanks with the high 2nd stage pressure?
He is in the middle of his busy season out here in Honduras so down time will be an issue.
I have not seen the compressor as we have only spoke on the phone.
Any help and suggestions are appreciated
Cheers
Rich
