On board air

Posted

I finally got around to finishing my on board air system. I now have 3 5 gallon tanks and 3 Viair compressors. 2 tanks are supposed to be from some kind dump truck other is ebay. 1 compressor is a 380c and 2 are 444c, all rated at 200psi max. My pressure switch shuts off at 150psi. I can once again run air tools from the truck. Theres also a horn behind the front bumper that really comes in handy around here.20190913_174555.jpg.39c47825b500489b360d9d3ac076cf6d.jpg

    Don't a lot of the ISB's have rear accessory drives? I wonder if those would work on our application.

     The old York compressors found in some Ford applications back in the 70's were the best being you could modify the pump to not pump oil out in the discharge. 

     

    That's what I used for years in my Ford dually when it was a gasser. The Cummins is gear drive, Holset 8.5 cfm air cooled. When I need portable air I have one of these.

    Remember the Cummins ISB was used in many medium duty trucks with air brakes and there is a optional gear driven compressor for these applications.

    In which location does that go into Mike? I'm thinking maybe the PS pump set up?
