Air Compressor Recovery time

["BOB NOGUEIRA" <nogera@Prodigy.Net>]

I need some advise on whether my compressor is running correctly.  It is a
Cambell Hausfeld  5 HP (22 amp) two stage  with a 80 gal tank. ( 13.5 CFM @
90lbs and 12.5 CFM @ 175 psi) .
My recovery time from the cut in @ 105 lbs to cut off @ 150 lbs is 6 1/2
minutes .
It sounds strong and I can' find any problems ( slipping belt etc) .
I never timed it when new and I may just be getting impatient in my old age so
that may well be what the recovery time has always been or I may be comparing
it to my old 2 HP 20 gal tank unit.
What's  6 1/2 minutes sound like to you ?

Thanks
Bob Nogueira  ( God,  my life must be good if this is all I
have to worry about)
