Compressors

It’s Saturday morning and we are researching compressors, which we can take with us and use on the boat.

Some of the features we are looking for is small and compact, reliable and has a world wide access to spare parts.

We are planning on using 15 litre cylinders on our way round, this will allow us to partially fill the cylinders without charging them up to the full 232 bar, this should reduce the stress on the compressor and hopefully make it last a bit longer, anyway that’s the plan.

Without to much trouble we had a short list within about an hour of research, the two models in question are the Bauer and the Coltri Sub, both models are powered by the same Honda petrol engine.

Both claim to be reliable and have world wide service and are very compact with similar charging times for the same size cylinder, so it only left the price and one model came out much cheaper than the other and was available from a local supplier to us, who has been in the industry for some time.

I intend to go to the company and have a chat about the model we are interested in.

The Coltri Sub



The Bauer



Will let you know how I get on with the factory vist.
