Re: Aircompressor Pressure Release between tank and air pump

I'm not sure yet wether I'm going to buy a solenoid or a pressure switch
with one buit in but I didn't think about using a solenoid or know about
pressure switches having them..

Thanks everyboy. I knew someone would have a good idea or two..

Thus spake Rheilly Phoull:

Also check out the pressure switches, there should be some that have
a small valve (like an auto tyre valve) that bleeds off the
discharge line when the switch goes open at pressure.

Automatic pressure switches for compressors are available with and
without pressure "blow-off" valves. When the motor contactor releases
at the pre-set pressure, there is a little lever that opens the
blow-off vavle releasing the pressure between tank and pump.

Good luck,

Indeed, however I had in mind the pressure switch mechanism actuating the
valve. A very common feature of such when I was involved in servicing that
type of gear.
