Talked to a guy who was very knowledgeable on them but not for sure all the details any more. I think it was a four horse not running and went for $4500.00. Other engines were fairly reasonable in their selling price. Was interested until it started for more than I had!

It usually draws a group of interested people, men, women, and children. A professor-historian narrates it over a portable p a system, he knows the questions to ask and tells an interesting story as we are setting up and pouring. This is more marine related and how the boats needed maintenance and sometimes the bearings were poured on the bank of the bayou. When I got there Sunday morning I was greeted by a local man that said he wanted my he to ID a small engine. He told me it was two cycle and had an exposed connecting rod. My first thought was that he didn't know what he was talking about. We went over to his truck and sure enough it he was right. After looking it over for a few minutes I could read the first and last few letters of the name cast into the hopper, Sie p, the rest was covered by a bracket someone had added. I realized it was a Sieverkropp, 1/2 hp horizontal. I looked it over, admiring it, and told him it was cute. He said he watched the demo last year, wanted to sell it and wanted me to have it, it came from his uncle and he didn't know how to run it. The price was very reasonable so I came home with it. The commutator for the timer is broken, some of the fiber is missing and I don't know the location of the inlaid contact. If someone knows where to put it, or has detailed pictures it would be a big help. The governor weights are on the flywheel but nothing else, from Wendels description it just kills the ignition. Pics would help here also. Does anyone here know the purpose of the little poppet valve, looks like a backfire relief to me. I did manage to get it to run a little at the show, fuel dampened rag over the intake and a wire at the end of the connecting rod so it touched at tdc to operate a buzz coil. From what I've read since getting it this is more than a lot of them have done. Thesi engine seems to have run quite a bit looking at the wear on the timer contact and the bushings in the connecting rod. J.B.

Lew, most of the 8 hole wheels were the same bolt patterns, but the center holes varied in size, the large can be installed on the small hub but you can't go the other way. Whith a tandem you can usually come home on one flat, you could take the wheel with the flat off and run with the other one if you wanted to. J.B.

I have a Lister D, a Petter AS and another 32 volt lighting set. I would like to use one of them to charge Lead acid batteries (12 volt). Now, 12 volt into 32 volt does not go !!! (and even combinations of 12 and 6 - if we could still get 6 volt batteries here).

I know that I'm going to be asked for "output" of the generator). The Petter AS has the following details on the genny plate: Generator charging 1260 watt. 35 Volts - 36 Amps - 1000 R.P.M. Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto Ltd. W.D. No. 8611 (I assume WD=War Dept. as this is a military style genset.) 1943. (The Petter AS engine is 2.75 H.P. @ 1800 RPM) **************** The only details I have at hand on the Lister are : Generator No. 42234N Volts: 32/43 Plant No. 63670 NA Lister Switchboard Type: CT No. 36169 I think there is more info on the plate but I would need to move a lot of stuff to reach it in the store - right now. This is a standard Lister "D" type genset (not S.O.M.)(Rad cooled) coupled to a Lister genny. I'm hoping someone out there knows the specs (Peter Forbes, Roland ???) (The Lister D engine is rated 2 H.P. @ 1100 RPM and was made in 1958) ****************** Second question: Approximately how long would each of the above 2 take to charge 3 x 100 amp/hour batteries (coupled in series to equal 36 volt).

Next best would be three identical 12-volt lead-acid batteries and charge them to 41.4 volts. This would be a little high for "32 volt" lamps and would shorten their life a bit. Originally, the 32-volt sets were used with sixteen individual lead-acid cells and they were actually charged to about 37 volts. Some of the 32-volt sets used "Edison" nickel-iron batteries. It took about 26 cells (1.2 volts per cell) to form the bank. Charging time depends on the state of discharge of the batteries, the voltage and current available and how "soft" the generators are. Most times, don't expect peak charging current except when the batteries are almost fully discharged. The current will taper-off as the batteries reach full charge. If you can actually maintain current to full charge voltage, divide the amp-hour capacity of the batteries by the charging current and add about 50% to get the charging time. Simple, eh?

I know that I'm going to be asked for "output" of the generator). The Petter AS has the following details on the genny plate: Generator charging 1260 watt. 35 Volts - 36 Amps - 1000 R.P.M. Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto Ltd. W.D. No. 8611 (I assume WD=War Dept. as this is a military style genset.) 1943. (The Petter AS engine is 2.75 H.P. @ 1800 RPM) **************** The only details I have at hand on the Lister are : Generator No. 42234N Volts: 32/43 Plant No. 63670 NA Lister Switchboard Type: CT No. 36169 I think there is more info on the plate but I would need to move a lot of stuff to reach it in the store - right now. This is a standard Lister "D" type genset (not S.O.M.)(Rad cooled) coupled to a Lister genny. I'm hoping someone out there knows the specs (Peter Forbes, Roland ???) (The Lister D engine is rated 2 H.P. @ 1100 RPM and was made in 1958) ****************** Second question: Approximately how long would each of the above 2 take to charge 3 x 100 amp/hour batteries (coupled in series to equal 36 volt). Thanks in advance for any answers. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

As I answered on the "other" list, it is not my intention to "end up" with 32 volts (which I omitted to mention in my original post) - I'm going to use 12 volts and was just wondering if I could use one of my 32 volt genny's to charge the 3 batteries at the same time. It was just an idea (some would say "brain fart" :-) ) but I realise that it was unrealistic and I will connect them in parallel and just use a 12 volts machine to charge them. (I've got a few 12 volt charging sets - Iron Horse - Briggs and A.N.Other). Of course there is also the trusty old battery charger plugged into the mains supply. Regarding 8 volt batteries. I have never seen an 8 volt battery in South Africa - they may have been available many years ago but definitely not for the last 35 years or more. We could find 6 volt batteries relatively easily up to about 25 years ago but the supply eventually dwindled to the stage that the only way to get them these days is by special import. There was a manufacturer in Durban not too many years ago who still made small batches but I believe they also no longer do so. The market is just too small. Our vintage car and FATG's battle with this problem and, although not original, it is common to see conversions to 12 volt. The only glass batteries I've seen (even as a kid) were on farm scrapheaps :-) In my teenage years, I remember my Dad "scrounging" old batteries from battery suppliers. He would then isolate any dead cells and bridge the good cells until he ended up with 32 volts. Quite easy in those days when the thick lead bars connecting each cell were exposed on top of the battery but a different story today with sealed batteries.

Usually, on 32 volt DC systems, there is a way to either shift the brushes or adjust field current up a little to 41.4 volts (the nominal terminal voltage for a 90% fully charged lead-acid battery). Just remember that the weaker cells in the string will overcharge or, if a cell or two is shorted, the rest of the string will be overcharged. If you can get at the individual cell connectors, measure the voltage to make sure that they don't exceed 2.35 volts for any appreciable time. I'll bet that's more than you wanted to know about battery charging! :-) Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand > -----Original Message----- > From: sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com > [mailto:sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com]On > Behalf Of Jerry Evans > Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 1:14 PM > To: sel at lists.stationary-engine.com > Subject: Re: [SEL] SEL Digest, Vol 79, Issue 9 From sluggo54 at hotmail.com Mon Oct 11 09:35:21 2010 From: sluggo54 at hotmail.com (Bruce Younger) Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 11:35:21 -0500 Subject: [SEL] SEL 32 Volt Question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: "8-volt batteries are available (at least in the U.S.) at farm supply stores and the larger auto parts stores."

I have put the idea aside for a week or 3 as I have more important work to do at the moment but will get back to it as soon as I get a chance. I stand corrected about availability of 8 volt batteries in South Africa but maybe I should have mentioned that I was thinking of readily available "automotive" type batteries not special application batteries. Curt, the link to an 8 volt battery from a solar power supplier would be considered a special application here and not readily available "over the counter" . Also the price is extremely high. I realise it is a 175 Ah battery but I can buy 4 very good quality, imported, sealed 100Ah truck batteries here for slightly less than one of those 8 volt batteries. The batteries I use are imported from South Korea and I've been using the same brand for about 16 years with very good results. Our locally manufactured batteries are junk and last 1 year and 1 week - the guarantee is 1 year !!! I get at least 4 and sometimes as much as 6 years from the Korean batteries. Thanks again guys for all the replies - lets put the topic to bed now :-) Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

Curt Cletus is passing by Billy Bob's hay barn one day when through a gap in the door he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old green John Deere. Buttocks clenched he performs a slow pirouette and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move and lets his overalls fall down to his hips revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt. Grabbing both sides of his shirt he rips it apart to reveal his stained tee shirt underneath. With a final flourish he tears the tee shirt from his body and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay. Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says "what the heck are you doing Billy Bob!?" "Jeez, Cletus, ya scared the bejeezers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob, "but me and the Ole lady been having trouble lately in the bedroom department, and the Therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor."

Wasn't mine, just one of the many things that have passed thru my place. A friend of mine bought it and I hauled it to Nebraska several years ago. As most of you have gathered from Dave's email, the 16hp Galloway was at one time in the Pacific NW. A collector in Washington state had the engine and was selling his engine collection. To make a long story short and because I don't remember all the details, Dave bought the engine and I picked it up for him. I took it to a couple shows in Oregon before hauling it to the Portland Indiana show where I delivered it to Dave. I think that was in 1999. So far no one has guessed correctly the other engine that was in my barn. This other engine is one that I owned for many years and had shown in WA, OR, and CA. It has changed hands a couple times since it left my possession.

The Lister D is still pretty easy to find parts for as it was a very popular engine with a production run starting about 1926 and going through to the sixties sometime. One of the longest ever production runs for a stationary engine. Your best bet is to find and join a club in your area - meet people and ask around for spares. Many people have a few D's lying around in the shed somewhere. At least that is the case here in South Africa - Aus may be different due to the number of engines like the Ronnie N that were built in Aus. and probably took a greater market share there than the Lister D. Also have a look at David Edgingtons books on the Lister D here: all well worth the price. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

I kind of assumed you were selling engines to buy wallpaper for the baby's room, or chew toys for Petra. She sure is a neat engine. Do you know how many pushrod engines exist? How many were converted? Was the pushrod engine a dud, necessitating the conversion, or did R&T just have really good salesmen?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Baby?s room is done & Petra has enough toys already ;) There are six (possibly 7) pushrod Austral?s known to survive, two are verticals and there are four horizontals (and only two of these are portables). There are seven engines confirmed to be converted/refurbished pushrod engines and no two of these are the same. The pushrod engines were a bit of a failure so R-T licensed Carter?s patent (i.e. Blackstone) and the Austral sideshaft engine was born in 1908 with engine No.217. It is thought that R-T bought back (or took as trade in) the pushrod engines and either broke them up or rebuilt them but I have not confirmed this. What is interesting is that the factory waited three years to rebuild the pushrod engines with non of them re-emerging from the factory until late 1911. Ronaldson Bros. & Tippett were fantastic salesmen. They were not shy of boasting (even if it was not true). In the 20?s they boasted that they had made 300 of the early engines before ?improving? on the design. This was certainly not true, with the first engine being No.51 and the first sideshaft engine being No.217 simple maths says they did not built (or even sell) 300 pushrod engines.

HMM I have one just like it but without the fancy upgrades... Mine is all hand powered and yours appears to have a stainless? tray in the bottom. Mine has a soldered tin version. The kids seem to enjoy running it during our FD BBQ events. They also get a big kick out of the old corn sheller display I set up. I usually have a progression from hand shelling through modern combines if I can talk a dealer into a loan of one with a corn head. What gets real strange then is that the kids will climb on/in the 'bine but seem entranced by the old hand cranked single cob sheller! I think it is mainly because they get to run it and see what it does (I have a cutaway version setting next to it) I only wish I had thought to video it... Maybe next fall. I usually set up something spring related for our early BBQ. Thought about a chicken display a few years ago but realized it might make our sales fall off (we do chicken BBQ) due to the folks seeing the progress from egg through adult birds. Hmm maybe something along the lines of field prep... Maybe from early days up through modern no-till gear. -- Steve W.

Much of it was built by David Bradley corp., but there were several other suppliers. Winco made some of the generators. I'm sure there was at least one other manufacturer of some of their generators, but memory is not coming up with it right now. In many cases, the stand-alone equipment was the same unit as was used with the tractors, just with different mounts. A picture would help confirm that.

And by real criminal activity I mean theft, murder, rape, drugs, terrorist activities. Serious crimes which we who know Kenny know he is not involved with without even asking. Now maybe they took a dislike to his vehicle or the old iron or something, who knows about that with Kenny and border agents. And who knows about the officer themselves, maybe they were having a bad hair day, spouse served em divorce papers who knows and Kenny was the one to catch their anger over some nit picky little thing. Customs inspectors have the authority and ability to make your life hell without any reason. A hunch or a bad case of gas is all it takes. Just does not seem right, something does not sound right. I would sign a character reference, petition or letter of support for Kenny Meeks without hesitation.

I'm not even sure if the problem arose on the US or the CA side of the border. I think we all have lots of questions, but the "facts" are hard to come by as of the moment. If I learn of anything I KNOW to be true, I'll post it to the lists--but don't hold your breath! Dave PS, I do know that Ken was at Coolspring for the show on the 15th of October. So the problem must have occurred as he was going back into Canada. PPS, http://www.enginads.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=42584 will take you directly to Ken's post on Harry's classified.

It needs a few parts: Fuel pump and handle Crank guard (early style) Vaporiser Timing valve & linkages Carby (early style with central wing nut) Fuel valve & linkages as well as roller & pin. Air valve rocker & roller. If anyone has any bits lying around it would be a great help. The biggest mechanical problem is the crankshaft. If you look at this pic you can see two pieces of metal bolted onto the flywheel (across the spokes). http://www.oldengine.org/members/pml/myengines/austral351/351austral1.jpg I could not work out why they were there until I checked the alignment of the flywheels with each other. The sideshaft side flywheel is about 5 degrees out of true. The pieces of metal must have been attached to rebalance the engine. This is the one weak point on Australs. The crankshaft is made up of 5 pieces pressed together and occasionally one of the shafts will rotate leaving the flywheels out of position and therefore out of balance. There are two options to deal with this problem. Pull off the flywheels, press out the problem shaft, align it and press then pin it in place. The other option is to pull of the flywheel, weld up the shaft and cut a new keyway. Both are big jobs but both possible. Opinions?

They are still usually cheaper than dealing directly with UPS though. The catch is finding a PO that KNOWS how to handle international shipments. My BIL has lived in Japan for about 8 years now and we ship stuff over about every 6 months, plus holidays and birthdays. We have a choice of 4 offices that we can use but have discovered that only 2 of them know what they are doing and one actually is helpful about international stuff. The one closest to us can barely sort the mail properly and when we tried to send a small box out it got all screwed up. Another one didn't have any of the proper forms or customs declarations so that didn't fly. In the end one that is near the wifes job really came out ahead. they not only have all the proper paperwork they even have staff that KNOW what to do with it. -- Steve W.

My 12 inch swing 'angular looking' Chinese lathe is a great tool but there IS a classy look about a lot of tools. The older Nuttal 15 inch swing is also a wonderful tool but, the Chink is a newer unit and IS accurate to within a thou. I can do a 5 inch bore with less than a thou variation. Works for me. As an aside, years back, I worked out that if I NEEDED a machine, I hit the wallet/ bank account, and bought it. Used it and finally,when done, sold it. ALWAYS a lot better than stuffing around with worn out second + hand discards. Making 'stuff' is hard enough without using less than good machinery.

From the house is a 12 ga wire that goes underground a couple of hundred feet to feed a couple of pole lights. This is that gray outdoor wire. The lights quit working and after some troubleshooting was surprised to learn the wire itself is bad. That's highly unusual as wire rarely goes bad. After disconnecting at each end and using jumpers and a ohm meter, I have determined the black wire is the one bad. The white (neutral) and ground wires are both good. Yesterday I had a fellow come over with a signal generator and tracer. We hooked the signal to the black wire and the other to a grounding rod. Strangely the signal went all the way to the pole light. This wire will conduct the trace signal, but not a bit of current will pass. Perhaps the wet dirt is creating a bridge for the break in the wire allowing the signal to continue on past the break. We've had several inches of rain the last days. So, how do I identify where the break is w/o digging up the whole yard? Is there a way to completely "burn" this wire at the bad place, so the tracer signal can no longer pass across the bad place? Looking forward to your creative ideas.

I have used, and may still have, wire tracers, but they didn't always work properly for me, but there is usually metal conduit and such to help interfere. The worst problem that I had was inside the conduit of a motor circuit. The wire passed current just fine until it got hot and then blew the fuse; it turned out to be a soldered splice in the run. In other words, there may not be a full break, just a 'weak' spot that will show continuity, but not hold up after a time with current. In my case, it wasn't obvious until I pulled the wires after hours of trouble shooting. Maybe a shovel is in order for this job. I side with Bill on this one; how bad are the other wires? And I'd use the conduit, too.

Curt: I'd suggest the same as the other guys, but you coulfd also connect the white/black ends together at one end and check continuity for the pair at the other. We use SWA (Stranded Wire Armoured) cable for outdoor/underground use, it stops rodents and moles from eating the cable insulation and with withstand a shovel or pickaxe blow. Either way, whatever the fault is, I'd replace with a new cable, and if it is going underground the get concrete ducting.

That signal tracing device is easily fooled by high resistance connections. You must isolate the wires completely at both ends but even then if the wires are close together for any distance the tone will show up on the adjacent conductors. If you get the pick-up close to the individual wires (underground in your case) you may be able to tell when the signal is lost - it will be louder near that wire. Sounds like a good time to lay new wires in plastic conduit.

Some cables here in Oz years ago were buried direct only to be eaten by grubs/worms etc. Signal tracing is not good as it will go through the wet soil or high resistance breaks as act as if cable was OK. It is obviously not blowing fuses. Get the shovel out mate and start digging.

Electrical troubleshoting Message-ID: <853d.3379d74e.39fc32c1@aol.com> Maybe someone else has suggested this by now - I haven't read all the responses. Have you tried using a TDR to locate the problem? That's short for Time Domain Reflectometer. You connect it to one end and the readout indicates distance along the wire to places where the cables "characteristic impedance" changes. It will find open circuits, short circuits, low resistance connections and even places where the conductors are nicked or squeezed. Its an expensive piece of equipment but probably can be rented someplace that rents such stuff. It works best on coax cable but I've used it successfully on many types of wires. Jay In a message dated 10/28/2010 08:23:00 Eastern Daylight Time, curt at rustyiron.com writes: Hey guys and gals, Since the SEL is a vast pool of knowledge to draw from, I need help with troubleshooting an underground wire at the new place. From the house is a 12 ga wire that goes underground a couple of hundred feet to feed a couple of pole lights. This is that gray outdoor wire. The lights quit working and after some troubleshooting was surprised to learn the wire itself is bad. That's highly unusual as wire rarely goes bad. After disconnecting at each end and using jumpers and a ohm meter, I have determined the black wire is the one bad. The white (neutral) and ground wires are both good. Yesterday I had a fellow come over with a signal generator and tracer. We hooked the signal to the black wire and the other to a grounding rod. Strangely the signal went all the way to the pole light. This wire will conduct the trace signal, but not a bit of current will pass. Perhaps the wet dirt is creating a bridge for the break in the wire allowing the signal to continue on past the break. We've had several inches of rain the last days. So, how do I identify where the break is w/o digging up the whole yard? Is there a way to completely "burn" this wire at the bad place, so the tracer signal can no longer pass across the bad place? Looking forward to your creative ideas.

What I need to know is what the pressure should read on my compression tester (either in Bar, KG per Sq CM or Lbs per Sq. Inch). The piston is flat topped but the head has a smallish domed combustion chamber but for these calculations I would think that it is O.K. to call it flat (I realise that this would make the answer greater but I only need to be close). Alternatively someone may just know what the reading should be and you don't need to do all this maths on a Friday afternoon :-) I want to do the tests tomorrow morning so would appreciate any answers in the next 12 hours please. Bear in mind also that I only get the SEL Digest version which is due in about the next 1 1/2 hours so if you are reading this on the SEL List please copy the mail to me "Off List" at the address above. - Old engine list members do not need to do this.

We have had little to no problem with condensation providing the pipe is run properly (minimize bends and make sure all low spots have a way to drain condensation). If there is an air leak to fix its much simpler and of course the initial cost as well as the repair cost is significantly less. We use 10HP compressors that literally run 6-8 hours per day. Northern Tool has good prices on regulators and water separators if you need some more components.

A friend said he used copper pipe (not tube, but pipe) He ran 3/4 for the "mains" and branched off to each connection with 1/2. He also ran a vertical run of several feet up the wall from the compressor, with a drain valve at the bottom. He said when the air left the tank into that cool copper run that was several feet tall, the water condensed out and ran to the bottom where he could drain it. He also ran the pipe a couple inches or so below each T where the connection for the hose was - same idea, the water would run down past the hose connection, and he could drain it out. I looked into doing this, but with a 30x36 shop with 14' ceilings, I'd be spending a small fortune on copper pipe! I also found that Menards sells two "grades" of the pipe - one thinner wall and cheaper than the other. OK, finally the question - what are others doing?

Its whats in my garage and a few others I have helped put up and or seen put up. Some of them way larger then your shop. But I would suggest you don't pressurize over 130 psi. to be on the safe side. Although I have seen it in use up to 170. But I feel thats pushing the limits of safety. Plastic also dissipates heat nicely, not as nice as copper buttttt. Where we tee off to do an ait drop we point the T up then a nipple then a Ell and nipple again out then a Ell down for the drop. Slope the line back towards the compressor slightly so the water does not built up in the line and can be drained out the drop leg there. Put drop legs in each of your drops too.

Drops are 1/2" copper. The compressor is more or less in the middle of the run. The outlets are raised a couple of inches above the main line. I also put a water trap wherever the main line turned upwards like over the personal door. I put a dryer, filter, oilers and regulators in where they were needed.

Several times a year we were shut down when a pipe broke because someone pulled on a hose too hard or it got caught on a vehicle or something fell against it. My oldest son replaced it all with iron one summer when he was in college. No problems or lost time since and I feel lucky that no one was hurt with the shrapnel. If you can set it up with a rise in the pipe away from the compressor so the moisture drains back, put a tee and drains at the hose connections as mentioned. In a home system moisture won't be as critical becasue it runs less. J.B.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: A couple of quick notes: The wall thickness of the copper won't matter, L has a thicker wall than M. That makes for a minor difference in flow quantity) Copper "pipe" is called that by the plumbing industry, it is 'tubing' according to the manufacturer. When you by compression fittings for 'pipe', the 1/2" pipe uses 5/8 fittings, the 3/4 uses 7/8. Pipe is a nominal size, tubing is actual outside dimension. So you get solder fittings in pipe sizes, compression fittings in tube sizes. 1/2 pipe (of any type) will move a lot of air, probably enough for any air tool commonly used; remember it is under high pressure - usually two times or more than normal water pressure. I have used 1/2 galvanized - years ago - and had plenty of volume for an auto shop; copper will deliver more. I have use both iron and copper for shop lines, but that was before this modern poly plastic stuff was availabe and I don't see why something like Pex wouldn't work EXCEPT for oil in the line at, or near, the compressor.That may be dealt with by a sediment, or moisture trap. You shouldn''t need a log drip leg, as the length won't make what falls into it (moisture) any heavier. I always used a needle valve at the bottom of the leg and sometimes left it open slightly while running. I have seen plastic pipe used, but I'd be afraid of it shattering from some accident. I don't think (but don't know for sure) that it will burst from any reasonable pressure. I just don't like the chance of physical damage from some accident. Others would be better informed as far as safety goes - and inconvenience as was mentioned. Perhaps, in you situation, you could leave the compressor with copper (or galvanized) and then run cheaper and easier to use plastic along the ceiling, then come down with copper again. Slope the overhead downward, toward the end of the run, so it will drain moisture easily; 1/8" to 1/4" per foot should work fine. That's all I can think of for now - if there are any questions, just ask. Paul in California PS: My training in Plumbing Engineering was back when we uased pencils and paper for calculations, so I never paid much attention to plastic pipe.

Half-inch schedule 40 PVC has worked well on my home shop. It is pressure-rated well above what my 60 gallon system puts out. For outlets I installed half-inch galvanized pipe from PVC tees and well secured to joists. At the compressor I used galvanized with a drain. The only problem, even after hours of sandblasting, was hot air that let the PVC bulge near the compressor. I increased the length of galvanized to act as a better heat sink and things were fine thereafter.

Hi Bill, Not sure what you guys in the USA call it but my airline is made from the thin walled drawn copper pipe used for plumbing and sweat soldered together (actually more like capilliary action soldering). This drawn (stretched ??) copper tube is much harder than the thicker walled (bendable) variety. My Compressor is under cover on the outside of my shop and I run an airline down both sidewalls (21 metres long each) as well as across the shop in 2 places (7 metres each) and also on various points outside the building. The long runs down the sidewalls should join at the far end to form a loop but I ran out of pipe before they met and have never got round to adding that last bit :-) but it would help to equalise the pressure. I have downpipes approx. every 1 1/2 metres apart (I'm a lazy bugger and don't want a long pipe or have to walk far to plug into air) with quick connect couplers . I've used 1/2" pipe throughout and my compressor is a Broom Wade (rather elderly but excellent quality) and is set to about 110 lbs/sq inch. I have a loose pressure regulator that is also fitted with quick connect couplers and just plug this into whichever outlet I feel like using at the time and set my pressure on that. By doing it that way the pressure on the line does not need to be changed for different purposes so I can for instance spray at quite low pressure and have another pipe about 1 1/2 metres away with high pressure for blowing dust away. I then have 4 or 5 compressor hoses of different lengths and can choose the one best suited to what I want to do. Regarding condensation - the answers already given are valid. Take the outlets "Up" out of the top of the pipe first and then bring them down to where your coupler is. The mains line must slope with a drain at the lowest end. (I have one on each corner of the building). This discussion was on the list about a year or so back and quite a lot of mention was also made of a cooling "device" near the compressor but I do not have that. My airline has been up since about 1988 and I've never had a leak or any other serious problem with it. My compressor is permanently switched on and, if I do not use any air then it only switches on about once in 3 days - I think that the small amount of leakage is probably through the valves in the compressor. The only small problem is that the quick connect couplers on the outside walls are not brass and they tend to get a bit "dry and sticky" and need to be taken off every 2 years or so and oiled up and loosened and then they are fine again. (A bit of Q20 usually does the trick). My drains are not automatic - I blow them all out (and the one under the compressor) whenever I need to spray paint or use airtools. If I only need to use the blower I don't bother. Summer is our wet season and this needs to be done more often then due to the higher humidity in the air.

Could you please tell be the pragmatic > difference between "a lot of bends" and "runs that are not straight?" > Dave > Technically a lot of bends and runs that aren't straight may be about the same thing. First, usually to a plumber a 'bend' would be an angled fitting. A run that isn't straight might require bending a pipe length somewhat as an easier alternative to adding fittings. (It makes a difference to me - but probably nobody else.) With Pex, you can frequently make an entire run without fittings. It would also be handy to fish behind installed benched or machines. As for speed, I bought a house that had the copper removed by thieves. My plumber showed up with a helper (a very pretty gal, but that's another story) and they re-plumbed, from the meter: two baths, a kitchen and laundry in about ten hours. If any other method was used, it would have been a lot longer. I'm a big fan of Pex for the speed aspect alone. But again, I know it was designed for water, so clean air wouldn't be a problem; but oil from the compressor and contaminates in the shop - assuming it isn't installed behind walls or under floors - may be a problem. I know it must be protected from sunlight. Incidentally, the schedule 80 that Judge Tommy used should do the trick in most cases. Paul PS: Now I'm curious, I'll have to look into the Pex/air situation. One thing I'm thinking is that if oil started to deteriorate it, it would bulge or discolor first; and a repair would be cheap. I have some Pex, I guess I'll have to soak it in oil for a bit to see what happens.

Hi Bill, If you are on a budget, CPVC plastic. I have run CPVC water line without a problem. Its whats in my garage and a few others I have helped put up and or seen put up. Some of them way larger then your shop. But I would suggest you don't pressurize over 130 psi. to be on the safe side. Although I have seen it in use up to 170. But I feel thats pushing the limits of safety. Plastic also dissipates heat nicely, not as nice as copper buttttt. Where we tee off to do an ait drop we point the T up then a nipple then a Ell and nipple again out then a Ell down for the drop. Slope the line back towards the compressor slightly so the water does not built up in the line and can be drained out the drop leg there. Put drop legs in each of your drops too.

Last summer it was so bad I had to run a dehumidifier in my shop - the vinyl in the cars was getting moldy. The door panels and seats I had in the shop have spots all over them. The floor actually had water droplets so bad it was slick. But with 13" of rain in 2 days, I guess...... Anyway, yes, with Iowa summers, humidity is a huge issue with air. I can run my compressor only for a short time, and can get several t-spoons of water out the bottom drain. I need to think of that light system, my shop is a couple hundred feet from the house...

Anyway their disclaimer starts: "Chemicals that do not normally affect the properties of an Unstressed thermoplastic may cause completely different Behavior (such as stress cracking) when under thermal or Mechanical stress (such as constant internal pressure or Frequent thermal or mechanical stress cycles). *Unstressed immersion test chemical resistance information* *Is applicable only when the thermoplastic pipe will not be* *Subject to mechanical or thermal stress that is constant* *Or cycles frequently*." The amount of oil going into a Pex line should be minimal. especially if the first section, up to a vertical rise, is metal. I would still consider the sunlight - and some florescent - light problem. I may look into this a little further because PEX may be the way to go, but for now I'd say copper would be a sure thing as it is tried and true.

It usually draws a group of interested people, men, women, and children. A professor-historian narrates it over a portable p a system, he knows the questions to ask and tells an interesting story as we are setting up and pouring. This is more marine related and how the boats needed maintenance and sometimes the bearings were poured on the bank of the bayou. When I got there Sunday morning I was greeted by a local man that said he wanted my he to ID a small engine. He told me it was two cycle and had an exposed connecting rod. My first thought was that he didn't know what he was talking about. We went over to his truck and sure enough it he was right. After looking it over for a few minutes I could read the first and last few letters of the name cast into the hopper, Sie p, the rest was covered by a bracket someone had added. I realized it was a Sieverkropp, 1/2 hp horizontal. I looked it over, admiring it, and told him it was cute. He said he watched the demo last year, wanted to sell it and wanted me to have it, it came from his uncle and he didn't know how to run it. The price was very reasonable so I came home with it. The commutator for the timer is broken, some of the fiber is missing and I don't know the location of the inlaid contact. If someone knows where to put it, or has detailed pictures it would be a big help. The governor weights are on the flywheel but nothing else, from Wendels description it just kills the ignition. Pics would help here also. Does anyone here know the purpose of the little poppet valve, looks like a backfire relief to me. I did manage to get it to run a little at the show, fuel dampened rag over the intake and a wire at the end of the connecting rod so it touched at tdc to operate a buzz coil. From what I've read since getting it this is more than a lot of them have done. Thesi engine seems to have run quite a bit looking at the wear on the timer contact and the bushings in the connecting rod. J.B.

Lew, most of the 8 hole wheels were the same bolt patterns, but the center holes varied in size, the large can be installed on the small hub but you can't go the other way. Whith a tandem you can usually come home on one flat, you could take the wheel with the flat off and run with the other one if you wanted to. J.B.

I have a Lister D, a Petter AS and another 32 volt lighting set. I would like to use one of them to charge Lead acid batteries (12 volt). Now, 12 volt into 32 volt does not go !!! (and even combinations of 12 and 6 - if we could still get 6 volt batteries here). Now, how were these used in those days? 3 x 12 volt batteries (my plan) = 36 volts - will a 32 volt genset charge these 3 x 100 amp/hour batteries . (O.K. I know that I'm going to be asked for "output" of the generator). The Petter AS has the following details on the genny plate: Generator charging 1260 watt. 35 Volts - 36 Amps - 1000 R.P.M. Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto Ltd. W.D. No. 8611 (I assume WD=War Dept. as this is a military style genset.) 1943. (The Petter AS engine is 2.75 H.P. @ 1800 RPM) **************** The only details I have at hand on the Lister are : Generator No. 42234N Volts: 32/43 Plant No. 63670 NA Lister Switchboard Type: CT No. 36169 I think there is more info on the plate but I would need to move a lot of stuff to reach it in the store - right now. This is a standard Lister "D" type genset (not S.O.M.)(Rad cooled) coupled to a Lister genny. I'm hoping someone out there knows the specs (Peter Forbes, Roland ???) (The Lister D engine is rated 2 H.P. @ 1100 RPM and was made in 1958) ****************** Second question: Approximately how long would each of the above 2 take to charge 3 x 100 amp/hour batteries (coupled in series to equal 36 volt).

Next best would be three identical 12-volt lead-acid batteries and charge them to 41.4 volts. This would be a little high for "32 volt" lamps and would shorten their life a bit. Originally, the 32-volt sets were used with sixteen individual lead-acid cells and they were actually charged to about 37 volts. Some of the 32-volt sets used "Edison" nickel-iron batteries. It took about 26 cells (1.2 volts per cell) to form the bank. Charging time depends on the state of discharge of the batteries, the voltage and current available and how "soft" the generators are. Most times, don't expect peak charging current except when the batteries are almost fully discharged. The current will taper-off as the batteries reach full charge. If you can actually maintain current to full charge voltage, divide the amp-hour capacity of the batteries by the charging current and add about 50% to get the charging time. Simple, eh?

As I answered on the "other" list, it is not my intention to "end up" with 32 volts (which I omitted to mention in my original post) - I'm going to use 12 volts and was just wondering if I could use one of my 32 volt genny's to charge the 3 batteries at the same time. It was just an idea (some would say "brain fart" :-) ) but I realise that it was unrealistic and I will connect them in parallel and just use a 12 volts machine to charge them. (I've got a few 12 volt charging sets - Iron Horse - Briggs and A.N.Other). Of course there is also the trusty old battery charger plugged into the mains supply. Regarding 8 volt batteries. I have never seen an 8 volt battery in South Africa - they may have been available many years ago but definitely not for the last 35 years or more. We could find 6 volt batteries relatively easily up to about 25 years ago but the supply eventually dwindled to the stage that the only way to get them these days is by special import. There was a manufacturer in Durban not too many years ago who still made small batches but I believe they also no longer do so. The market is just too small. Our vintage car and FATG's battle with this problem and, although not original, it is common to see conversions to 12 volt. The only glass batteries I've seen (even as a kid) were on farm scrapheaps :-) In my teenage years, I remember my Dad "scrounging" old batteries from battery suppliers. He would then isolate any dead cells and bridge the good cells until he ended up with 32 volts. Quite easy in those days when the thick lead bars connecting each cell were exposed on top of the battery but a different story today with sealed batteries.

Usually, on 32 volt DC systems, there is a way to either shift the brushes or adjust field current up a little to 41.4 volts (the nominal terminal voltage for a 90% fully charged lead-acid battery). Just remember that the weaker cells in the string will overcharge or, if a cell or two is shorted, the rest of the string will be overcharged. If you can get at the individual cell connectors, measure the voltage to make sure that they don't exceed 2.35 volts for any appreciable time. I'll bet that's more than you wanted to know about battery charging! :-) Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand > -----Original Message----- > From: sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com > [mailto:sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com]On > Behalf Of Jerry Evans > Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 1:14 PM > To: sel at lists.stationary-engine.com > Subject: Re: [SEL] SEL Digest, Vol 79, Issue 9 From sluggo54 at hotmail.com Mon Oct 11 09:35:21 2010 From: sluggo54 at hotmail.com (Bruce Younger) Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 11:35:21 -0500 Subject: [SEL] SEL 32 Volt Question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: "8-volt batteries are available (at least in the U.S.) at farm supply stores and the larger auto parts stores."

I have put the idea aside for a week or 3 as I have more important work to do at the moment but will get back to it as soon as I get a chance. I stand corrected about availability of 8 volt batteries in South Africa but maybe I should have mentioned that I was thinking of readily available "automotive" type batteries not special application batteries. Curt, the link to an 8 volt battery from a solar power supplier would be considered a special application here and not readily available "over the counter" . Also the price is extremely high. I realise it is a 175 Ah battery but I can buy 4 very good quality, imported, sealed 100Ah truck batteries here for slightly less than one of those 8 volt batteries. The batteries I use are imported from South Korea and I've been using the same brand for about 16 years with very good results. Our locally manufactured batteries are junk and last 1 year and 1 week - the guarantee is 1 year !!! I get at least 4 and sometimes as much as 6 years from the Korean batteries.

Buttocks clenched he performs a slow pirouette and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move and lets his overalls fall down to his hips revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt. Grabbing both sides of his shirt he rips it apart to reveal his stained tee shirt underneath. With a final flourish he tears the tee shirt from his body and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay. Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says "what the heck are you doing Billy Bob!?"

Definitely is nicer looking now, but then oxidized old red paint and layers of grease and dirt have that barn fresh appeal as well. Wouldn't mind seeing it again at the Coolspring show next June. ;-) I case you don't know I'll be at Coolspring next June with a van full of Dutch and Belgian engine collectors.

The first two photos that Curt posted we're of engines that I had at one time. On the second picture Jerry's brass tag is partially visible on the cylinder. The re-restoration of the engine was done by someone else and they put the brass tag on the engine although I don't agree with the location they put the tag.

The Lister D is still pretty easy to find parts for as it was a very popular engine with a production run starting about 1926 and going through to the sixties sometime. One of the longest ever production runs for a stationary engine. Your best bet is to find and join a club in your area - meet people and ask around for spares. Many people have a few D's lying around in the shed somewhere. At least that is the case here in South Africa - Aus may be different due to the number of engines like the Ronnie N that were built in Aus. and probably took a greater market share there than the Lister D. Also have a look at David Edgingtons books on the Lister D here: all well worth the price. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

I kind of assumed you were selling engines to buy wallpaper for the baby's room, or chew toys for Petra. She sure is a neat engine. Do you know how many pushrod engines exist? How many were converted? Was the pushrod engine a dud, necessitating the conversion, or did R&T just have really good salesmen?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Baby?s room is done & Petra has enough toys already ;) There are six (possibly 7) pushrod Austral?s known to survive, two are verticals and there are four horizontals (and only two of these are portables). There are seven engines confirmed to be converted/refurbished pushrod engines and no two of these are the same. The pushrod engines were a bit of a failure so R-T licensed Carter?s patent (i.e. Blackstone) and the Austral sideshaft engine was born in 1908 with engine No.217. It is thought that R-T bought back (or took as trade in) the pushrod engines and either broke them up or rebuilt them but I have not confirmed this. What is interesting is that the factory waited three years to rebuild the pushrod engines with non of them re-emerging from the factory until late 1911. Ronaldson Bros. & Tippett were fantastic salesmen. They were not shy of boasting (even if it was not true). In the 20?s they boasted that they had made 300 of the early engines before ?improving? on the design. This was certainly not true, with the first engine being No.51 and the first sideshaft engine being No.217 simple maths says they did not built (or even sell) 300 pushrod engines. I am busily researching and updating the Austral register as well as writing a few articles for TOMM on Australs. It gives me something to do before the baby comes ;) Patrick On 17/10/10 3:19 PM, "Rob Skinner" wrote: > > On Oct 16, 2010, at 8:45 PM, Patrick Livingstone wrote: > >> For those who were wondering what I was selling engines to buy: >> http://www.oldengine.org/members/pml/myaustral755.html > > > I was wondering, but wasn't going to ask.

HMM I have one just like it but without the fancy upgrades... Mine is all hand powered and yours appears to have a stainless? tray in the bottom. Mine has a soldered tin version. The kids seem to enjoy running it during our FD BBQ events. They also get a big kick out of the old corn sheller display I set up. I usually have a progression from hand shelling through modern combines if I can talk a dealer into a loan of one with a corn head. What gets real strange then is that the kids will climb on/in the 'bine but seem entranced by the old hand cranked single cob sheller! I think it is mainly because they get to run it and see what it does (I have a cutaway version setting next to it) I only wish I had thought to video it... Maybe next fall. I usually set up something spring related for our early BBQ. Thought about a chicken display a few years ago but realized it might make our sales fall off (we do chicken BBQ) due to the folks seeing the progress from egg through adult birds. Hmm maybe something along the lines of field prep... Maybe from early days up through modern no-till gear. -- Steve W.

Much of it was built by David Bradley corp., but there were several other suppliers. Winco made some of the generators. I'm sure there was at least one other manufacturer of some of their generators, but memory is not coming up with it right now. In many cases, the stand-alone equipment was the same unit as was used with the tractors, just with different mounts. A picture would help confirm that.

And by real criminal activity I mean theft, murder, rape, drugs, terrorist activities. Serious crimes which we who know Kenny know he is not involved with without even asking. Now maybe they took a dislike to his vehicle or the old iron or something, who knows about that with Kenny and border agents. And who knows about the officer themselves, maybe they were having a bad hair day, spouse served em divorce papers who knows and Kenny was the one to catch their anger over some nit picky little thing. Customs inspectors have the authority and ability to make your life hell without any reason. A hunch or a bad case of gas is all it takes. Just does not seem right, something does not sound right. I would sign a character reference, petition or letter of support for Kenny Meeks without hesitation.

I'm not even sure if the problem arose on the US or the CA side of the border. I think we all have lots of questions, but the "facts" are hard to come by as of the moment. If I learn of anything I KNOW to be true, I'll post it to the lists--but don't hold your breath! Dave PS, I do know that Ken was at Coolspring for the show on the 15th of October. So the problem must have occurred as he was going back into Canada. PPS, http://www.enginads.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=42584 will take you directly to Ken's post on Harry's classified.

The sideshaft side flywheel is about 5 degrees out of true. The pieces of metal must have been attached to rebalance the engine. This is the one weak point on Australs. The crankshaft is made up of 5 pieces pressed together and occasionally one of the shafts will rotate leaving the flywheels out of position and therefore out of balance. There are two options to deal with this problem. Pull off the flywheels, press out the problem shaft, align it and press then pin it in place. The other option is to pull of the flywheel, weld up the shaft and cut a new keyway. Both are big jobs but both possible. Opinions?

They are still usually cheaper than dealing directly with UPS though. The catch is finding a PO that KNOWS how to handle international shipments. My BIL has lived in Japan for about 8 years now and we ship stuff over about every 6 months, plus holidays and birthdays. We have a choice of 4 offices that we can use but have discovered that only 2 of them know what they are doing and one actually is helpful about international stuff. The one closest to us can barely sort the mail properly and when we tried to send a small box out it got all screwed up. Another one didn't have any of the proper forms or customs declarations so that didn't fly. In the end one that is near the wifes job really came out ahead. they not only have all the proper paperwork they even have staff that KNOW what to do with it. -- Steve W.

My 12 inch swing 'angular looking' Chinese lathe is a great tool but there IS a classy look about a lot of tools. The older Nuttal 15 inch swing is also a wonderful tool but, the Chink is a newer unit and IS accurate to within a thou. I can do a 5 inch bore with less than a thou variation. Works for me. As an aside, years back, I worked out that if I NEEDED a machine, I hit the wallet/ bank account, and bought it. Used it and finally,when done, sold it. ALWAYS a lot better than stuffing around with worn out second + hand discards. Making 'stuff' is hard enough without using less than good machinery. Also, on the last USA trip, I got a digital vernier from Harbor Freight that has FRACTIONS! along with Metric and imperial. I got it just to show the friends here! Awesome!!

From the house is a 12 ga wire that goes underground a couple of hundred feet to feed a couple of pole lights. This is that gray outdoor wire. The lights quit working and after some troubleshooting was surprised to learn the wire itself is bad. That's highly unusual as wire rarely goes bad. After disconnecting at each end and using jumpers and a ohm meter, I have determined the black wire is the one bad. The white (neutral) and ground wires are both good. Yesterday I had a fellow come over with a signal generator and tracer. We hooked the signal to the black wire and the other to a grounding rod. Strangely the signal went all the way to the pole light. This wire will conduct the trace signal, but not a bit of current will pass. Perhaps the wet dirt is creating a bridge for the break in the wire allowing the signal to continue on past the break. We've had several inches of rain the last days. So, how do I identify where the break is w/o digging up the whole yard? Is there a way to completely "burn" this wire at the bad place, so the tracer signal can no longer pass across the bad place? Looking forward to your creative ideas.

He could hook just to the black wire. Also check where any large trucks, traffic has driven over the wire. Rodents maybe. Dig the wire up halfway and use the ohm meter again....sure you know the drill from there. Last but not least...just use the two good wires. My Montana Power supplied yard light (overhead wires) has only two wires to it. Good luck, RickinMt. ----- Original Message ----- From: curt at rustyiron.com To: The SEL email discussion list Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 6:18 AM Subject: [SEL] OT! Electrical troubleshoting Hey guys and gals, Since the SEL is a vast pool of knowledge to draw from, I need help with troubleshooting an underground wire at the new place. From the house is a 12 ga wire that goes underground a couple of hundred feet to feed a couple of pole lights. This is that gray outdoor wire. The lights quit working and after some troubleshooting was surprised to learn the wire itself is bad. That's highly unusual as wire rarely goes bad. After disconnecting at each end and using jumpers and a ohm meter, I have determined the black wire is the one bad. The white (neutral) and ground wires are both good. Yesterday I had a fellow come over with a signal generator and tracer. We hooked the signal to the black wire and the other to a grounding rod. Strangely the signal went all the way to the pole light. This wire will conduct the trace signal, but not a bit of current will pass. Perhaps the wet dirt is creating a bridge for the break in the wire allowing the signal to continue on past the break. We've had several inches of rain the last days. So, how do I identify where the break is w/o digging up the whole yard? Is there a way to completely "burn" this wire at the bad place, so the tracer signal can no longer pass across the bad place? Looking forward to your creative ideas.

I have used, and may still have, wire tracers, but they didn't always work properly for me, but there is usually metal conduit and such to help interfere. The worst problem that I had was inside the conduit of a motor circuit. The wire passed current just fine until it got hot and then blew the fuse; it turned out to be a soldered splice in the run. In other words, there may not be a full break, just a 'weak' spot that will show continuity, but not hold up after a time with current. In my case, it wasn't obvious until I pulled the wires after hours of trouble shooting. Maybe a shovel is in order for this job. I side with Bill on this one; how bad are the other wires? And I'd use the conduit, too.

Curt: I'd suggest the same as the other guys, but you coulfd also connect the white/black ends together at one end and check continuity for the pair at the other. We use SWA (Stranded Wire Armoured) cable for outdoor/underground use, it stops rodents and moles from eating the cable insulation and with withstand a shovel or pickaxe blow. Either way, whatever the fault is, I'd replace with a new cable, and if it is going underground the get concrete ducting.

Where the angle worms come out of the ground is the break. I did this as a kid but don't remember the voltage and we used a long electrified spike. High tension lead off a buzz coil to the black wire. As you know this radiates RF energy which an A.M radio tuned to an off station will pickup and convert to audio. Maybe the audio will deplete as you go past the break. All kinds of brain farts this mornin', eh?

That signal tracing device is easily fooled by high resistance connections. You must isolate the wires completely at both ends but even then if the wires are close together for any distance the tone will show up on the adjacent conductors. If you get the pick-up close to the individual wires (underground in your case) you may be able to tell when the signal is lost - it will be louder near that wire.

Cable is best placed in conduit for protection. Some cables here in Oz years ago were buried direct only to be eaten by grubs/worms etc. Signal tracing is not good as it will go through the wet soil or high resistance breaks as act as if cable was OK. It is obviously not blowing fuses. Get the shovel out mate and start digging.

You connect it to one end and the readout indicates distance along the wire to places where the cables "characteristic impedance" changes. It will find open circuits, short circuits, low resistance connections and even places where the conductors are nicked or squeezed. Its an expensive piece of equipment but probably can be rented someplace that rents such stuff. It works best on coax cable but I've used it successfully on many types of wires.

Here are the details that I have: i) Compression ratio is 19:1 ii)Bore?stroke [mm] - 86?70 ii)Displacement[Lit] - 0.406 iii)Rated power/speed(kW/r/min) 5.7/3000 6.3/3600 (not necessary for the calculation but included for interest sake) Or, if you prefer it in Imperial Measurements: i) Compression ratio is 19:1 ii)Bore X Stroke (ins.) - 3.386" X 2.756" (As Near As Dammit) iii) Displacement[Cub. ins] - 24.77564 iv)(Horsepower = 7.6 H.P. at 3000 rpm to 8.4 H.P. at 3600rpm (again, not necessary for the calculation but included for interest sake). What I need to know is what the pressure should read on my compression tester (either in Bar, KG per Sq CM or Lbs per Sq. Inch). The piston is flat topped but the head has a smallish domed combustion chamber but for these calculations I would think that it is O.K. to call it flat (I realise that this would make the answer greater but I only need to be close). Alternatively someone may just know what the reading should be and you don't need to do all this maths on a Friday afternoon :-) I want to do the tests tomorrow morning so would appreciate any answers in the next 12 hours please. Bear in mind also that I only get the SEL Digest version which is due in about the next 1 1/2 hours so if you are reading this on the SEL List please copy the mail to me "Off List" at the address above. - Old engine list members do not need to do this.

We have had little to no problem with condensation providing the pipe is run properly (minimize bends and make sure all low spots have a way to drain condensation). If there is an air leak to fix its much simpler and of course the initial cost as well as the repair cost is significantly less. We use 10HP compressors that literally run 6-8 hours per day. Northern Tool has good prices on regulators and water separators if you need some more components.

Its whats in my garage and a few others I have helped put up and or seen put up. Some of them way larger then your shop. But I would suggest you don't pressurize over 130 psi. to be on the safe side. Although I have seen it in use up to 170. But I feel thats pushing the limits of safety. Plastic also dissipates heat nicely, not as nice as copper buttttt. Where we tee off to do an ait drop we point the T up then a nipple then a Ell and nipple again out then a Ell down for the drop. Slope the line back towards the compressor slightly so the water does not built up in the line and can be drained out the drop leg there. Put drop legs in each of your drops too.

Drops are 1/2" copper. The compressor is more or less in the middle of the run. The outlets are raised a couple of inches above the main line. I also put a water trap wherever the main line turned upwards like over the personal door. I put a dryer, filter, oilers and regulators in where they were needed.

The further you get the sep from the comp the better they work as the air is cooler before it passes through it.

Several times a year we were shut down when a pipe broke because someone pulled on a hose too hard or it got caught on a vehicle or something fell against it. My oldest son replaced it all with iron one summer when he was in college. No problems or lost time since and I feel lucky that no one was hurt with the shrapnel. If you can set it up with a rise in the pipe away from the compressor so the moisture drains back, put a tee and drains at the hose connections as mentioned. In a home system moisture won't be as critical becasue it runs less. J.B.

Half-inch schedule 40 PVC has worked well on my home shop. It is pressure-rated well above what my 60 gallon system puts out. For outlets I installed half-inch galvanized pipe from PVC tees and well secured to joists. At the compressor I used galvanized with a drain. The only problem, even after hours of sandblasting, was hot air that let the PVC bulge near the compressor. I increased the length of galvanized to act as a better heat sink and things were fine thereafter.

My concern, and I haven't looked into this yet, is any oil that the compressor sends through might eat the Pex up. Also Pex must be protected from the sun or it will deteriorate. Pex is cheap - and very easy and fast to install; might be worth a try, especially if you have a lot of bends or runs that aren't straight.

Hi Bill, Not sure what you guys in the USA call it but my airline is made from the thin walled drawn copper pipe used for plumbing and sweat soldered together (actually more like capilliary action soldering). This drawn (stretched ??) copper tube is much harder than the thicker walled (bendable) variety. My Compressor is under cover on the outside of my shop and I run an airline down both sidewalls (21 metres long each) as well as across the shop in 2 places (7 metres each) and also on various points outside the building. The long runs down the sidewalls should join at the far end to form a loop but I ran out of pipe before they met and have never got round to adding that last bit :-) but it would help to equalise the pressure. I have downpipes approx. every 1 1/2 metres apart (I'm a lazy bugger and don't want a long pipe or have to walk far to plug into air) with quick connect couplers . I've used 1/2" pipe throughout and my compressor is a Broom Wade (rather elderly but excellent quality) and is set to about 110 lbs/sq inch. I have a loose pressure regulator that is also fitted with quick connect couplers and just plug this into whichever outlet I feel like using at the time and set my pressure on that. By doing it that way the pressure on the line does not need to be changed for different purposes so I can for instance spray at quite low pressure and have another pipe about 1 1/2 metres away with high pressure for blowing dust away. I then have 4 or 5 compressor hoses of different lengths and can choose the one best suited to what I want to do. Regarding condensation - the answers already given are valid. Take the outlets "Up" out of the top of the pipe first and then bring them down to where your coupler is. The mains line must slope with a drain at the lowest end. (I have one on each corner of the building). This discussion was on the list about a year or so back and quite a lot of mention was also made of a cooling "device" near the compressor but I do not have that. My airline has been up since about 1988 and I've never had a leak or any other serious problem with it. My compressor is permanently switched on and, if I do not use any air then it only switches on about once in 3 days - I think that the small amount of leakage is probably through the valves in the compressor. The only small problem is that the quick connect couplers on the outside walls are not brass and they tend to get a bit "dry and sticky" and need to be taken off every 2 years or so and oiled up and loosened and then they are fine again. (A bit of Q20 usually does the trick). My drains are not automatic - I blow them all out (and the one under the compressor) whenever I need to spray paint or use airtools. If I only need to use the blower I don't bother. Summer is our wet season and this needs to be done more often then due to the higher humidity in the air.

In my old shop (that the BIG air got) I plumbed all over it with schedule 80 PVC. I had a big compressor on it and maintained 165 psi at all times. I never had a problem. I did have a couple of water filters and traps on it and they worked well at keeping the lines clear.

First, usually to a plumber a 'bend' would be an angled fitting. A run that isn't straight might require bending a pipe length somewhat as an easier alternative to adding fittings. (It makes a difference to me - but probably nobody else.) With Pex, you can frequently make an entire run without fittings. It would also be handy to fish behind installed benched or machines. As for speed, I bought a house that had the copper removed by thieves. My plumber showed up with a helper (a very pretty gal, but that's another story) and they re-plumbed, from the meter: two baths, a kitchen and laundry in about ten hours. If any other method was used, it would have been a lot longer. I'm a big fan of Pex for the speed aspect alone. But again, I know it was designed for water, so clean air wouldn't be a problem; but oil from the compressor and contaminates in the shop - assuming it isn't installed behind walls or under floors - may be a problem. I know it must be protected from sunlight. Incidentally, the schedule 80 that Judge Tommy used should do the trick in most cases. Paul PS: Now I'm curious, I'll have to look into the Pex/air situation. One thing I'm thinking is that if oil started to deteriorate it, it would bulge or discolor first; and a repair would be cheap. I have some Pex, I guess I'll have to soak it in oil for a bit to see what happens.

Hi Bill, If you are on a budget, CPVC plastic. I have run CPVC water line without a problem. Its whats in my garage and a few others I have helped put up and or seen put up. Some of them way larger then your shop. But I would suggest you don't pressurize over 130 psi. to be on the safe side. Although I have seen it in use up to 170. But I feel thats pushing the limits of safety. Plastic also dissipates heat nicely, not as nice as copper buttttt. Where we tee off to do an ait drop we point the T up then a nipple then a Ell and nipple again out then a Ell down for the drop. Slope the line back towards the compressor slightly so the water does not built up in the line and can be drained out the drop leg there. Put drop legs in each of your drops too.

Last summer it was so bad I had to run a dehumidifier in my shop - the vinyl in the cars was getting moldy. The door panels and seats I had in the shop have spots all over them. The floor actually had water droplets so bad it was slick. But with 13" of rain in 2 days, I guess...... Anyway, yes, with Iowa summers, humidity is a huge issue with air. I can run my compressor only for a short time, and can get several t-spoons of water out the bottom drain. I need to think of that light system, my shop is a couple hundred feet from the house...

Anyway their disclaimer starts: "Chemicals that do not normally affect the properties of an Unstressed thermoplastic may cause completely different Behavior (such as stress cracking) when under thermal or Mechanical stress (such as constant internal pressure or Frequent thermal or mechanical stress cycles). *Unstressed immersion test chemical resistance information* *Is applicable only when the thermoplastic pipe will not be* *Subject to mechanical or thermal stress that is constant* *Or cycles frequently*." The amount of oil going into a Pex line should be minimal. especially if the first section, up to a vertical rise, is metal. I would still consider the sunlight - and some florescent - light problem. I may look into this a little further because PEX may be the way to go, but for now I'd say copper would be a sure thing as it is tried and true. Paul in California
