Companies and professionals have varying needs for compressed air. Sometimes, they require a tailored solution. This could include specific technology or different power ranges. Before evaluating different models, knowing the amount of compressed air needed by your tools and production machines is mandatory, as well as the the required air quality.
Screw technology is ideal for industries and professionals who need a great quantity of compressed air. The parameter to compare different models is the FAD (Free Air Delivery). You can choose between:
- Fixed speed screw compressors, which flews a constant quantity of air from their starting ‘till they are switched off.
- Permanent motor air compressors, which combines the advantages of the variable speed with economic and energy savings.
Piston technology is suitable for discontinuous usage, which does not require a high airflow. The intaken air is a useful parameter to compare the different models. They are the ideal choice for hobbyists and professionals.
- Compressors for professionals, reliable and efficient
Some applications require a high-quality product. To achieve this, an oil-free compressor should be used. This technology prevents any oil impurity and is classified as Class 0 according to ISO 8573-1:2010. They are available with scroll, piston, and water injection technologies as well as at a different power::
- Scroll technology, modular and for small applications
- Piston technology, for a discontinuous usage requiring pure compressed air.
- Screw technology with water injection, for high air demand
When choosing the right compressor, there are several key factors to consider. These include whether it will be used continuously or intermittently:
Maximum pressure (bar) can vary depending on the tools or machines that use compressed air. For example, car washing machines require a 15 bar compressor.
Compressor power (HP) must be efficient to meet the air demand and the needed pressure.
In general, compressors are integrated with a compressed air tank, which lets you stock compressed air. The tanks’ size must be big enough to avoid the engine continuously switching on. Some models are equipped with a vertical tank, which is very useful in restricted spaces.
*Piston compressors’ data refers to the intake air; airflow (normally pointed as FAD) is lower
Maximum delivered air* (l/min o m3/h) is the quantity of air that the compressor can deliver in order to fuel pneumatic tools. To avoid oversizing your compressor and to keep the maximum safety margin, in general, users consider 30% of delivered airflow more than the estimated needs.
Highly efficient compressors are equipped with the newest technology, allowing you to increase your savings. Switching from an old air compressor to a new and more technological one provides several benefits, including higher performance, less electric power costs and a lower amount on your electric bills.
By choosing the size of your compressor, the yearly running hours and your current energy costs, you can find out how much money you can save with a new iPM compressor.
