I've got a vacuum generator, that I currently run off a typical 2 or 3 HP (I'll have to check!) V-twin highspeed noise creator, that's starting to show it's age, to the point I'm surprised it still works. The dipstick doesn't stay in due to blow by, and it is taking noticeably longer to reach cut-off pressure.
However, with the vacuum generator, it doesn't run continuously.
The specs of the vacuum generator are -
I've had a Hydrovane HV01 tripod buried in the shed for a while, and I'm trying to workout if that would be enough to run the vacuum.
From google, a HV01 produces 4.2CFM or 0.12m3/min (120lpm) FAD.
Is that enough to run the vacuum generator?
Going on the assumption that the vacuum generator figures are at operating (5 bar pressure), I suspect not, but the existing compressor runs less than 50% off the time, so I'm not sure about those figures.
I know I could swap the Hydrovane 1.1KW 4 pole motor for a 2.2KW 2 pole to double it's output, but I'm trying to avoid that right now.
