I don't know much about breathing gas compressors so I'm expecting to learn that this is a dumb thought. But here's my question:
Are there any little compressors designed to fill tanks to high pressure REALLY REALLY slowly? Like, I don't care if I have to wait 2-3 days for it to finish filling big doubles for use on the weekend.
Theoretically such a slow (or under-driven) oil-less compressor could run at very low electrical draw, extremely quietly, without building up much heat, little risk of CO generation, and perhaps even be small and inexpensive. I see a lot of potential advantages if fill speed isn't a factor. I own plenty of tanks and don't need quick fills.
I'm not talking about the sketchy chinese mini compressors. Though maybe under-driving one is an option?
Does anything like this exist? Any reasons such a thing would be a terrible (or good) idea? Thanks.
