Having rebuilt the valveblock and EAS compressor I'm curious as to the heat that these compressors pump out. "ha".
After a run with the car in standard, alternating between standard/Motorway it was sat at 68c,
A suggestion from an esteemed member was to leave it locked in Motorway, which indeed did stop it adjusting and as a result the compressor is around 40c
From what I can gather the compressor is never going to run cold due to
(1) the engine sat next to it, pumping out heat
2 it being sat in a box with heat all around it!
3 The unit itself doesn't exactly have any way to cool down
My Bus is 100% air tight,only problem is I can't hear the pump due to it being almost silent, the main reason i'm comparing heat instead of run times!
What i was wondering was if anyone who's willing would be to check the heat of their compressors after a run..?
I understand most don't have an IR termo.
A simple "**** thats hot" would be good or..
It's cooler than an eskimo's bollocks. etc
or anything inbetween!
