Air Pressures within a marker

[Booti]

Wonder if anyone can help. I am just trying to work something out and need to know the pressure that the air is at during the different parts of its journey thru a marker. I know that it will differ from marker to marker, so if i can have the info for an EGO that would be best. Also could you state he ranges (as the pressure changes during adjustment)

Air Bottle - 3000 or 4500
Air Reg output -
FRM -
Valve - (i presume this is the same as the FRM reading)
LPR output -
Solenoid - (again i presume this is the same as the LPR reading)

Cheers in advance

In most modern electro markers there are three different pressures.

1. Main bottle reg pressure at the asa = 450psi or 850psi.

2. firing pressure at the top of the frm = 170psi to 750psi

3. cycling pressure at the solenoid = 50psi to 120psi

I think the ego is :

1. either
2. 400psi
3. 80psi (Not sure if this is accurate)

Like Tom said, most modern electros have similar pressures. For the Ego, from what I've read (I don't own one) it should be:

Air tank: 3000 or 4500 psi
Air tank reg output: 450 or 850 psi preset
Secondary reg (the one attached to the marker. This would be the pressure contained behind the valve and fed to the LPR): 250 psi
Cocking pressure (pressure fed from the LPR to the solenoid): 90 psi

There is a really good Ego diagram at PBnation in the Ego forum as well that shows all the gas paths.

there you go, ego's aren't my thing.

3. 80psi (Not sure if this is accurate)

1. either
2. 280psi +/- 10%
3. 80-110psi

thats what i beleive it to be...
