Compressor Specifications

|
| ||
| Discharge / Operating Pressure: | The ranges of pressure that the compressor can supply. Units are typically referenced to one atmosphere (as in psig or psi gauge). Maximum flow may not occur at maximum pressure. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Flow Capacity: | The capacity the unit or system is capable of moving in terms of flow rate. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Horse Power | Rated power of turbine, electric motor or reciprocating engine driving compressor pump. | ||

Compressor & Driver Technology

|
|
| ||
| Compressor Technology | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Axial | Multiple-blade rotor imparts axial velocity which is converted to pressure; very high flow rates. | ||
| Blower | Dynamic head is imparted to the air by means of high-speed impellers rotating in a confining case. Blowers are available in axial flow, radial or centrifugal configurations. | ||
| Centrifugal | High-speed impeller produces radial airflow; velocity converted to pressure energy. | ||
| Diaphragm | Diaphragm oscillation driven by rod; no sliding seals or parts. | ||
| Linear | Linear compressors have no sliding parts; compression is generated with electromagnetic oscillation. This type of compressor is clean and quiet. | ||
| Reciprocating Piston | Piston mechanically reduces air volume inside cylinder. | ||
| Rotary Lobe | Air is moved by the positive displacement of two rotating lobes confined in an eccentric cylinder. | ||
| Rotary Screw | Rotating helical screw compresses air prior to discharge; provides even flow at relatively low pressures. Wet or dry screw types are utilized. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted compressor configuration. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Power Source | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Air / Pneumatic | The compressor pump is pneumatically driven. | ||
| Gas Turbine | Compressor is driven by a gas turbine, which are turbines where combusted gas or fuel moves a series of vanes to providing driving power. | ||
| Hydraulic | Hydraulic oil pressure is used to activate a hydraulic motor and provide rotary power. | ||
| DC | DC power includes battery power or higher voltage power from a power supply. | ||
| AC Single Phase | Typical single phase voltages include 115V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz. | ||
| AC Three Phase | Many industrial devices run from three-phase power, such as 208V or 377V. | ||
| Gasoline | Gasoline engine drives compressor pump. | ||
| Diesel | Diesel engine drives compressor pump. | ||
| Natural Gas | Natural gas engine powers compressor pump. | ||
| Other | Unlisted power source for compressor pump. | ||

| |||
| Lubrication Style | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Oil-less | Permanently sealed bearings, low friction compression components, and separation of process air from pump mechanics eliminate oil in air output. Oil-less is a term applied to compressors that contain no oil. Used for medical or more critical no oil applications. | ||
| Oil-free | An oil-free (dry) compressor will have no lubrication on the compression chamber side of the machine. This may not result in oil-free compressed air due to the fact that the ambient air being sucked into the compressor will contain hydrocarbons, which will condense into liquid oil further down stream | ||
| Lubricated | Compressor compression chamber and drive chamber are lubricated with oil. Lubrication can be done by a variety of means including splash, spray, or positive pressure. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Mounting Options | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Portable | Wheels, size and/or handles make compressor suitable for easy transportation. | ||
| Skid / Base Plate Mounted | Compressor on skid or plate positioned on the floor. This can frequently contain transport features such as forklift slots. | ||
| Tank Mounted | Compressor mounted on top of pressure tank, either for vertical or horizontal tanks. | ||
| Trailer / Truck | Compressor mounted on a trailer or truck for mobility or gas transportation applications. | ||
| Other | Other mounting option not listed. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Multistage Compressor | A compressor or compressor system consisting of multiple stages. | ||
| 2 Stage | Compressed air goes from initial stage to second chamber where it is further compressed before discharge into tank; practical for pressures above 100 psig. | ||
| 3 Stage | Three chambers are used in succession; typically above 250 psig. | ||
| More Than 3 Stages | Compressors with more than three stages. | ||
| Integral Cooler | Intercoolers cool gas between stages, aftercoolers cool gas existing compressor or system | ||
| Integral Dryer | The compressor has a dryer to remove entrained liquid particles from the compressed air. | ||
| Integral Filter | The compressor has a filter to remove any entrained particulate from the air. | ||
| Explosion Proof | The compressor has an explosion proof motor for use with highly flammable gases. | ||
