AIR a common topic
Monday, May 22, 2006 8:55 PM
I'm interested in doing airride in my cavi, I've heard that the valves don't like cold air and winter weather, even though I will mount them inside the trunk, how do you all deal with it in the winter? is it wise to drive your bagged car in the winter even if your valves and stuff are inside the trunk? Could I put a blanket over them if I have to drive and leave my car outside for any length of time? If someone with air could give me some advice, a lil bit will go a long ways. thanks again!

Just make sure you have a water trap and drain your tank weekly (or so). You'll be fine.

i only had a valve stick do to debris on the rubber seal inside the valve. ive never had a valve stick do to cold weather.

like cts said. if you drain your tank of the water, then there will be less likely of a chance of the valve freezing

If your running compressors, you will always get moisture, water traps and drained tanks help, but dont stop it. If it is Below freezing where you are I can only recomend Remote start and Valve heaters(12V heating pads work great) You can also find heated valves on a 24v aplication.


If your running compressed gas, then the gas is moisture free, so you have nothing to wory about unless you run a super cooling gas(like nitrogen) which will accualy freeze the valves itself under heavy play.

any negatives that are common if running an air ride in 'extremely' hot climates, i.e. 110/115+ summers?

actually humidity is really low, so I would think less often... but I don't know, that's why I'm asking!
