Hi,
I have a few sites where I have multiple (upto three) compressors all connected to the same system. Typically they are not the same model or capacity compressors.
The problem I am experiencing is that I'm ending up with one compressor that runs pretty much all the time, and the second barely at all. I'm ending up seeing reliability problems with the second compressor as it is not used enough.
What I'm wondering is, is there some device I can use to control which compressor is in the lead? I know I can set the load/unload pressures differently for each compressor, which is effectively what I have done, but that means one compressor barely ever turns on, as the largest compressor is set to load first and most of the time meets the air requirements.
What I'm looking for is some sort of a timer that could switch which compressor leads.
I'm using various Atlas Copco compressors.
Any help would be appreciated. As you can probably tell, I'm no expert in these matters!
Thanks.
