How much HP difference is there between a "loaded" and "unloaded" air compressor on the M-14P?
I have heard of guys putting in a manual "bypass" dumping air from the compressor overboard to "unload" the compressor for more HP.
I would think this is both
A) minimal increase in HP (1 - 2 HP?)
And
B) once your air is "topped off" doesn't the pressure relief valve or "pop off" valve open and perform the exact same function?

Subject: Hissing Pop-Off Valve



When servicing the air system on our stock CJ, the pop-off valve begins “hissing” at around 32 ATM and “pops-off” at around 38 ATM (not allowing system to be pressurized any higher.) After popping off and servicing discontinued, hissing will continue (slowly diminishing) until pressure settles at around 32 ATM. Although probably plenty for a few start attempts, I want to fix the problem and have the full 50 ATM available.

I know the valve is adjustable, but is the hissing a separate problem that needs to be addressed? Also, what specifically is causing the valve to hiss?

Thanks.

Obviously the power required for the compressor depends on the pressure. But if it is at high pressure – that is normal operating pressure, when the pressure-release valve blows off and then a little later the compressor starts working again that is all at high pressure, when it uses about 2.5 hp, so not really noticeable.

But the opening of the release valve does not allow the compressor to work off load – it has released some pressure, which makes the compressor then work again to build up the pressure in a continuing cycle!

But the real advantage of opening a "dump-valve" is that the compressor then runs off-load for most of the time. In our experience the compressors are a weak part of these engines, and very often do not reach the engine TBO, but if running off-load, they will last indefinitely.

There is also a side advantage that if the compressor is not continuously working, it's not then putting some atmospheric water into the air system. Of course this shouldn't happen, but many people don't release the water drain sufficiently often, and so it goes quite a long way to prevent this problem.

I see. Thanks for the education Richard!

What is the best way to dump then? Just put a line to the snot valve from the cockpit?

There are different solutions. Some have an electric (solenoid) valve; you can have an actuating cable operating the tap. However, for a simple aerobatic aircraft I prefer to bring the valve into the cockpit into an accessible position – but typically underneath the pilot’s leg – so it is totally positive; you know when it is on and off and no possibility of electrical or control problems.

So you open it once the pressure has built up after starting, and then it is clearly important to shut the valve before landing to ensure you have a pressure for undercarriage; brakes etc, and of course that you will have built up pressure for the next start.

Obviously the power required for the compressor depends on the pressure. But if it is at high pressure – that is normal operating pressure, when the pressure-release valve blows off and then a little later the compressor starts working again that is all at high pressure, when it uses about 2.5 hp, so not really noticeable.

But the opening of the release valve does not allow the compressor to work off load – it has released some pressure, which makes the compressor then work again to build up the pressure in a continuing cycle!

But the real advantage of opening a "dump-valve" is that the compressor then runs off-load for most of the time. In our experience the compressors are a weak part of these engines, and very often do not reach the engine TBO, but if running off-load, they will last indefinitely.

There is also a side advantage that if the compressor is not continuously working, it's not then putting some atmospheric water into the air system. Of course this shouldn't happen, but many people don't release the water drain sufficiently often, and so it goes quite a long way to prevent this problem.

How much HP difference is there between a "loaded" and "unloaded" air compressor on the M-14P?



I have heard of guys putting in a manual "bypass" dumping air from the compressor overboard to "unload" the compressor for more HP.



I would think this is both



A) minimal increase in HP (1 - 2 HP?)



And



B) once your air is "topped off" doesn't the pressure relief valve or "pop off" valve open and perform the exact same function?

The pop off (pressure RELIEF) valve is controlled by spring tension. The tighter you make the "top hat" (turn it clockwise), the higher the pressure goes. When the pressure reaches the preset spring pressure, the valve opens. The hiss is the pressure relief which stops when the pop off valve closes.  This is perfectly normal. It's just like the pressure relief valve on a shop compressor. If the pressure in the compressor exceeds the pressure relief valve preset pressure, the valve opens and "dumps" the excess pressure.

Subject: Hissing Pop-Off Valve




When servicing the air system on our stock CJ, the pop-off valve begins “hissing” at around 32 ATM and “pops-off” at around 38 ATM (not allowing system to be pressurized any higher.) After popping off and servicing discontinued, hissing will continue (slowly diminishing) until pressure settles at around 32 ATM. Although probably plenty for a few start attempts, I want to fix the problem and have the full 50 ATM available.



I know the valve is adjustable, but is the hissing a separate problem that needs to be addressed? Also, what specifically is causing the valve to hiss?



Thanks.
