Undergrad Air pressure drop when turbine motor starts
Problem solved Thanks Goest for your explanation. You hit the nail on the head with what is going on. The momentary drop in air pressure caused a pressure sensor to send a signal to the PLC telling everything else to stop due to the pressure loss. I installed a sensor with a time delay or 2... -

Undergrad Air pressure drop when turbine motor starts
Thanks Russ. The turbine gets started via a solenoid through 4' of 1/2" air line. I used to use smaller diameter air line (which worked like a restrictor), but changed to larger air line when having intermittent problems with turbine not starting. Now, I have the turbine starting everytime, but... -

Undergrad Air pressure drop when turbine motor starts
I am having a problem with an air pressure drop. I have a supply of 100psi of around 4scfm. I have it regulated down to 90psi, but when I turn on an air turbine motor my regulated pressure drops momentarily (1-2sec) down to 80psi. This drop in pressure is unacceptable to other components in my...
