Air Compressors Anonymous 2016-11-07 05:19:13 Post No. [Report]

Who here uses a 240V (or equivalent), air compressor to clean out their system? I have recently purchased a SCA 240V Air Compressor (pic related). Does anyone use a moisture trap in-line or are those sort of unnecessary? Also mine didn't come with an air burst attachment, not sure if that is necessary either.

I was looking at recommended PSI / Bar settings and most people where saying anywhere between 87-116 PSI (or 6-8 bar) was fine. Is there anything else I need to know before cleaning out the dust in my computer?

Compressed air cans are pretty expensive (around $9 - $17), so this pays itself off after around 7 uses anyway.

Pretty sure that for dusting work you want one with a tank to store the air, rather then just push it onto the parts. This one is designed for 4WD's for use on the track.

You wont need a moisture trap, also SCA is garbage

Why not get something like pic related? Using a full blown air compressor for PC cleaning seems like a waste.

Because Australia, and also those things aren't that good from what I have heard. I will also use it for occasionally pumping up my tyres / cleaning other shit.

You heard wrong, it works fine for cleaning electronics.

Yeah, you need something with a tank to store the pressure to then use on your components.

Or, if you dont use it very often you can make something similar to this and just use a bike pump

The compressed air cans are very expensive where I am, seems ridiculous to spend 9*2 ($18) every time I want to clean my computer.

I buy a pack of 3 cans of compressed air once a year for $5.
