I have an Ingersal Rand air compressor that I purchased new from Northern 21/2
years ago. It's not used very heavily. It's 5 hp 220v and wired with #8
wire. It's around 15 ft from the main box. I had trouble with the motor
around two months ago and had to purchase a new one. It's no longer under
warranty. My problem is that it runs very hot. When I use it for bead
blasting say 15-20 mins the pump is too hot to touch. The motor is very warm
as well. It's in my shop located in a barn (not very tight) so I would think
it gets plenty of air. Is this normal ?? Can I do anything to help it run
smoother ? I do change the oil pretty regularly.
Thanks,
Dan
