[PSUBS-MAILIST] Cornelius compressors

[Stephen Fordyce via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi all,
I know Hank uses a Cornelius compressor and I think others have enquired
after them.  In a nutshell, it's a small/lightweight (~60lb?) high-pressure
compressor no longer made, originally used by the US Air Force in aircraft
- so it's pretty well spec'd.  Also by default runs off nominal 27VDC - so
highly suitable for install in a PSUB, if you can handle the current draw,
noise and 2cfm flowrate.

Well in the course of my business, I sold a SCUBA nitrox mixing stick to
a guy in Canada who mounted it on a Cornelius compressor - see a picture of
the final setup he sent me (if the recent discussions of email vs Facebook
haven't put you off!):

Anyway, we got to talking and he said he got the compressor from a bloke in
Florida.  I made contact and discovered this bloke has a whole lot of them
that he is slowly setting up and selling as fully functional breathing air
compressors (they are old but apparently well preserved and have only a few
hours - he runs them in).  He also has parts as well for anyone like Hank
who already has a unit.  I'm contemplating bringing a few into Australia to
on-sell.

In case anyone is interested, his name is Paul Deverell, with email
pauldeverell at ymail.com and phone number +1 786-367-3365

Cheers,
Steve
