Here is the MCH-5 sitting inside my. refueling area ready to be unwrapped.
|
Once unpacked and off the pallet, I realized how heavy the thing was,
just under 400 Lbs.
|
The first thing I noticed was that the gas inlet
was on the wrong side for where I wanted
to set the compressor.
|
After removing the 3/4" valve and filter, I
needed to make a bracket to mount the
filter on the outside.
|
Here is a pic showing the right side panel
spun 180° with the mounted filter. This
will allow the panel to mount on the left side.
|
This street elbow was suppose to have a
1" Ø ID. When I was finished it was. |
Here is the unassembled parts that make
up the inlet plumbing on the inlet filter.
|
Here is a pic showing the assembly and 1" Ø inlet hose. |
I fabricated this bracket for the rear of the
compressor. It screws to the floor and
rear panel.
|
Here is a pic of the front bracket installed. |
This is the electrical setup. |
Since the unit is 3 phase, I needed to
install a frequency inverter to convert
single phase to 3 phase. The inverter allows
me to use push button micro switches to
digitally power up and shutdown the unit. Contained in the water tite box is a AC contactor switch and a manual switch to activate the contactor. |
