List,
Anyone thinking of using an industrial/hobby type compressor for medical use, MUST, repeat MUST use an air dryer in the line in the line before the nebuliser. They dryer removes 99.99% of moisture and oil which will be in a super fine mist in the compressed air. I believe that Cummins engines do make an automotive type compressed air dryer, to remove the nasties, as in cold climates, any moisture in the air brake system will freeze and cause loss of air.
My 2 cents worth

OK, I forgot that they now have their own house brand, and yes, they are
junk too. What I mean is to get a commercial duty compressor that will at
least pump air fast enough to shut off so you don't have to listen to it run
constantly.


HArbor Freight is all chinese junk period
their store is right down the street from me
good for disposable stuff  nothing more<


Harbor Freight catalogs go straight from my mailbox to my garbage can. What
good stuff they do have can be bought elsewhere or from catalogs that are
much easier to read. They purposely make their catalogs to entice you to
browse and I don't waste my time like that. I have much better ways to waste
time:)

But not all Chinese stuff is junk, just most of it. If you want to make a
living with a tool, you do learn to avoid Chinese metallurgy. You can lose
body parts when junk breaks.

airbrush nebulizer


I own and use several air compressors in my business. I would never even
think about paying money for a Campbell-Hausfeld. They are mostly good for making noise and making your electricity meter spin fast. The selection of
oilless compressors from Lowe's or Home Depot are superior to anything at
WalMart.

The 12 volt compressors all make a lot of noise and won't last long under
continued use. They do not shut off automatically. If I wanted to nebulize
while traveling I would simply use a large CLEAN air tank, filled from an
OILLESS compressor at home- not from any compressors at gas stations or
tire
shops. To conserve air I would use an off-on valve to allow the air to
enter
the nebulizer only when I wanted to breathe it. This in addition to a
regulator set for about 15 psi.

I can't legally tell you that it will be OK for you to breathe any air
from
any air compressor. I can only tell you that I, my wife and my children
have
nebulized CS many times with air from a Hitachi "pancake" style oilless
air
compressor, no filter, no ill effects.

I learned how to do all of this back when nebulizers could not be bought
for
less than $250.

Now you can buy them in the $50 range, and you can even buy rechargeable
battery powered ones that are small and portable. Why mess with air
compressors and airbrushes, unless you have very serious problems that may
benefit from the more directed spray of an airbrush possibly coupled with
pure oxygen from a tank? The only reason I still do it this way is because
I
already have all the stuff paid for, but it's all very noisy and
cumbersome,
and I may change my ways.

I have the Harbor Freight airbrush for propelling the cs/msm/dmso mixture
into the lungs. I need a clean oilless source of compressed air

_______

At Wal-Mart I saw this exact same 12 volt compressor you plug into the
ignition to inflate tires. Does anyone know if the compressed air output
is
clean and oiless?

Also at Wal-Mart I saw this exact same Campbell-Hausfeld 2 gallon tank air
compressor which is called oilless. Does anyone know how clean the air
output would be? Wal Mart did not show it on-line but it's the same as
aircompressor's direct has
