[PSUBS-MAILIST] Breathable air compressor



Hi guys, I’m fairly interested in SCUBA… as well as being VERY interested in subs… ive got a fairly good understanding of air compressor types etc… but does anyone here have any knowledge on the principal workings of a hookah or scuba tank filling type compressor? Its just something that ive never quite understood, and ive seen scuba refill compressors cost upwards of $2500AUD.. so I thought why not make one! J

 

One of the pre-requisites is an oil-less lubrication system for the piston/vanes? Obviously oil vapour in the breathing air isn’t a good thing J

 

Anything else anyone can put forward to further my knowledge?


TIA  Stew
