I cant find any mention of heat or duty cycle. Any help would be great. If it matters I run a 210.
Thanks

I run mine all day long. It's not pumping all the time; the clutch cycles it on and off based on pressure. It pumps continuously, for the most part, while I'm airing up, so 5-10 minutes there. The rest of the time it only serves to operate my air lockers and I have a 1.5 quart (or thereabouts) tank, so very infrequently does it pump on the trail.
Do they get hot? Yepppp, they do. Make sure your outlet hose can handle the heat. I use a stainless flexible hose from McMaster Carr.

at least 40 35" and larger tires.... one of the trips I led with my '40 I refilled the 10 rigs traveling with me. That said, be sure to keep an eye on the oil level. Even with the 'fix' to keep the majority of the oil out, it still does start to get a bit low after that number.
The York is an AC compressor originally, rated for continuous duty. If you've modified it to run oil properly while pumping air, it should run forever.

Thanks guys.
I installed mine a year or so ago and it has been a champ. On the trail last weekend I air up a few other rigs and I could smell the compressor starting to get hot. It was running probably 10 - 15 min.
That started my quest on the forum to see what others have experienced. I also called TCCI ( The Manufacturer) this morning and spoke to tech support. He said they were not built for compressing air and will get hot very quickly. The freon in the intended application would also cool the compressor. They didnt have specs for the air, but he said dont let the head right next to the output side port get above 300. and you should be fine.
Just did a test and running for 7 min at approx 2000 RPM on the compressor, my head temp was 272 deg with a laser temp gun and it cooled off 30 deg is about 3 min.
Hope my info was useful also and thanks for all the responses.
