Description
This is a screw-type air compressor that is sized for the whole building. Presently it is only connected to the Metal Shop and the Machine Shop. Branches in the Metal Shop supply feed the Plasma Shop, the Sand Blaster, and the Powder Coating Facility. Supply pressure is about 100 psi. It has an automatic desiccator between the compressor and accumulator.
There is a copper manifold that spans the whole building, but it needs troubleshooting. Until this is done, connections are made ad-hoc and the compressor is only turned on when it is needed.
How To Turn It On

2. Don some hearing protection. The next step is LOUD
3. Open the three ball valves that control the air supply. Expect a loud "WHOOOSH." Two other valves are clearly labeled NOT to change.
