An air compressor is a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air.
This is D-RCV Air Compressor Model AK-8150P from Japan.
* Manufacturers :MAX P
* Model : compressor AK-8150P
* Year : unknown
* 100v, 60Hz, 11A, 1000W, 1720rmp, 85l/min, 9,4kgf/cm^2
This is air compressor restoration video, I recorded it step by step the process of restoration.
I hope you find something useful & enjoy from this video!

so useful, I love your channel. My grandfather passed and left me his workshop. all of the tools inside are extremely old and most have issues which I fixed with your help. I never realised how simple the insides of some of the most useful tools were.

[@gear_show]

Thank you so much for loving and sharing! you have very good condition to learn and test about those tools.

fan needs shroud to deflect air around cylinders for proper cooling but great video and to get a thumbs up MR. NVC DIY is saying something thumbs up here as well

[@getyourkicksagain]

+1 on the missing shroud also to protect against things or body parts coming in contact with that fan! Great restoration, though!

[@jeffr0]

[@gear_show]

Okay I see, this machine still missed some parts, thank you, sir!

taking it apart....check. putting it back together......euhhh yeah right. great job. wish i had the patience to do this myself

[@William_Van_Landingham_III]

I learn from watching you work, then learn more from the collected wisdom of the viewers in the comments. For a lot of guys who grew up in the *single mother wasteland* , this is knowledge that we couldn't get from fathers or grandfathers, but hopefully we can pass along ourselves. KZbin at its best, truly.

[@dennis4114]

Excellent job with the restoration jobs of each video. You know what you are doing and it takes a lot of patience and hard work. That's a lot of work. Taken it apart is easy but putting it back together again it looks very hard. You have to have a good memory to know where everything goes. Excellent work. God bless you.

Fantastic job! I think you are my new favorite restorer on KZbin! Dont listen to everyone on the comments, you do a wonderful job, dont change anything! If someone else wants to do it differently, they can do their own restoration video

[@mudlightracing9186]

I appreciate a very fine attention to detail on a restoration. We need more people like that cause the world could use peoe that rebuild instead of throw away. Everything can be restored to some point. Greatjob

[@barnyardkh4]

I'm not sure a unit this small really needs casters but, if you insist, you probably should've tacked in a mounting plate for each one in order to fully engage the caster mounting plates and make them more durable. Nice job though! Looks 1000% better.

très très bon projet de restauration

[@GGigabiteM]

I don't recommend reusing the pressure tank, especially this one because it's such a bad design. The drain is not at the absolute bottom center of the tank, it's offset, meaning that water that condenses inside the tank won't be properly purged when the tank is drained. And who knows if the compressor was cared for properly, you're supposed to drain them after each use, but most people don't and the tank ends up rusting out. Repainting an old tank is dangerous as it hides the condition of the tank. I recommend that if the tank is to leave your possession, you render it useless by drilling large holes in it or cutting it up. It's not worth the risk of it exploding under pressure and killing someone. I also don't recommend pressurizing at all if possible. I've serviced a couple of compressors that had never been drained and the owners were complaining they were running all the time, in both cases, several gallons of rusty water came shooting out the drain. They kept them in service despite warnings that the tank was compromised.

[@Leonardo-rp1gk]

So that tank is useless because it is rusty from inside. But how can you fix it? you buy another tank?

[@GGigabiteM]

@@Leonardo-rp1gk Yes, you scrap the tank and buy another. Once the tank starts corroding, the integrity is compromised and there's no way to repair it safely. Compressed gasses should be treated with care, there's a ton of energy stored up just waiting to be released. take a look at what happens when truck tires explode, they can send pieces of tire flying for dozens of yards and shatter windows of other cars on the road. Split rim tires are another example that aren't called widow makers for no reason. Compressors are even more dangerous as the pressure is far higher and you're dealing with a metal container. I've heard of people being near cut in half by detonating compressor tanks, losing legs, being impaled, etc.

[@r1273m]

That is a very interesting comment. I have a compressor which has had little use over the 20 years or so I have had it. In fact it has never been on for the last couple of years. I am thinking of putting it up for sale but I am worried about the rust that maybe inside of the pressure tank and if there is anywhere I can get it tested. Maybe a new tank would be the safest option. @@GGigabiteM

[@Leonardo-rp1gk]

@@GGigabiteM Ty that seems to be very important.

[@GGigabiteM]

@@r1273m If any of the fittings have openings large enough, you can stuff a boroscope inside the tank to visually inspect it, but I would just scrap the tank and buy a new one.

[@marcchambers1972]

A tip on bearings is never hammer the inside race of it! Always hammer or press on the outside of it and you won’t have a chance at damaging or breaking the bearing or have premature wear

Si los fabrican, pero son para generacion de aire seco atravez de filtrado con sales silicas y se utilizan para inyección de cables telefonicos subterraneos. La empresa se llama PUREGAS y es canadiense. Uno de los inconvenientes del uso de faldones de teflón (anillos) en los pistones es que el ciclo de carga y descarga no puede exceder de los 5minutos entre descanso y traabajo 😀😀

Just a tip other interested viewers: Dip the tap in grease before you chase the threads. The metal chips will embed in the grease within the flutes of the tap and not fall into the work piece. Residual grease in the threads can be washed out if you are using the liquid pipe dope as in the video, or left in place if using Teflon tape.
