Hi,
I am coming back to model railrading after a 30-year break.
Have a Badger 150 about that old, have been able to geit to work ok.
Also have a Norgren (B07-102-M1EA) regulator with moisture trap and pressure gauge -- but it doesn't seem to do much work.
When not spraying, pressure goes all the way up, then when I press the trigger pressure goes down -- but only very slowly.
I have a diafragm compressor, feeding into a tank (about 2 litres, 1/2 gal.).
Seems to me the regulator does not regulate pressure, seems it only provides an adjustable flow constraint. If so, pressure on the output side is entirely dependent on the amount of airflow throuhg the airbrush.
If that is so, it doesn't seem very useful.
One would like to set a pressure before starting the spray, and then the regulator should keep that pressure whether I'm spraying or not, or whether I push the trigger fully or just a little, right?
Or what am I missing here?
Please advice, thanks,
Sverker
