A Tool
I've seen them, couple years back at supply house.. Small with co2 tube with funnel shape nozzle to blow out air cond drain, etc... Joke was that its was invented by a heavy smoker tech that can no longer use lung pressure to do the lightweight job..

Air Gun
I'm trying to find a tool that I think would be very useful. What I have in mind is an air gun that is highly mobile, small enough to fit in my bucket of goodies, and gutsy enough to clean burners, controls and such. Maybe one that uses a CO2 cartridge, either the little 2oz ones or the bigger ones that my boys use in their paintball guns. Come to think of it, I'd be happy with a gun that uses the regular paintball gun size tanks. I hate dragging an aircompressor around...feels like I'm moving in...and it takes longer to get everything to the boiler room than it does to service the thing! I have a five gallon air bottle...same thing, and bulky in the tight boiler rooms we seem to have up here. Anybody seen anything like this?0 -
I have tried the CO2 in question.
What it lacks is any sustained pressure. I don't even like it for clearing out condensate lines. How about this,...A portable pressure vessel like a refrigerant tank charged with desired pressure? I am not saying a ref. bottle, but something like that.

I agree mike.
I use a small nitrogen tank and regulator.0 -
Nitrogen
we use a nitrogen bottle and regulator available at any refrigeration supply house or bottled gas outfit. we put a rubber refrigerant hose and a normal air hose type blow gun on it. It will last a long time depending on which size bottle you use.

Smaller compressor
The Nitrogen cylinder sounds like the answer, but I saw a very small, light compressor made by Senco that a trim carpenter used. You might check it out. Sorry, no model number. Kevin0
