George, please tell me where I did contradict you. I did not have much time for my first reply, so I did it that way that I knew you would jump in for an explicite explanation. As for oilfree compressors ( rather boosters) I recommend the new draeger. It is half as much as the old U 300 with the glycerine/ water greasing. Combustion of oil in a properly maintained compressor normally should not occur ( According to the guys at Bauer where I did the maintenance/ repair classes for K14/K15). It can however, for any reasons the compressor is running to hot. Mineral oils start decompositing mostly above 170° C. So it is nice to have the right filter in , and make the crosses for the filling at the right sheets. ( in case you do not havea supervising system ( what will be the next thing I 'll add to my Draeger DK 18) Trey schrieb: > > Bullshit, Mathias, the combustion of the oil in the compressor is as good a > source of CO as it gets.
