Air Compressor: 6 Best Buy Tips

        Air Compressors are very useful tools. However, one does not simply go to the local hardware and buy one. You need to put a lot of things in to consideration when planing on buying a compressor.

There are indeed a lot of factors that you should think about first before going through with the purchase. But you don't have to worry yourself on getting confused because here are 6 best buy tips that will surely help you in your buying decision.

1.You must know how air compressors work. The way it does work is based on a specific scientific principle where gas or air can be compressed in a storage tank and can be released to power different kinds of tools due to the air pressure released.

2.Air compressors can be measured in terms of in cubic feet per minute or CFM. Compressors used at home would usually have their CFM at 90 lbs per square inch. Smaller tools like nailers would generally need about 1 to 5 CFM while grinders which are bigger tools would require 10.

3.Know how big you want the storage tank of your compressor would be. How you plan to use your air compressor would help you in determining this. Just keep in mind that a bigger storage tank can give you more power for bigger tools such as grinders and bigger tools. This should depend on what type of tools you need the compressor for. You wouldn't want to buy a really big one for a small tool like a nailer. Large tanks are ideal for paint sprayers since it needs a constant air supply while it is used.

4.Air compressors can run in different power sources. Some can run off of electricity, while others run on gasoline. Gasoline powered compressors tend to give a lot more power than those in the electric power variant. However due to its exhaust fumes, it's no good for indoor use.

5.One more factor that should be considered would be the size and shape of a compressor. A vertical compressor can be easily stored however a horizontal one can be easier to move around. Some compressors are too heavy to be moved around by just one person. Most gas powered compressors are heavy and may need at least 2 people carrying it around.

6.Make sure you know what you are buying. You have to take all important factors in to consideration. The purpose intended for the compressor as well as how big and how powerful it is all have to be the right size if you want to get the best air compressor for you.
This is not all that you need to know about an air compressor. There are a lot more valuable information that you can find elsewhere. Try going online to search for the right one by reading articles and product reviews. Arm yourself with enough knowledge to make a well educated decision on what compressor to buy.

Air Compressor Buying Rules

         Need to find the best air compressor? Before picking out any compressor to purchase, recognizing the compressor's uses will make sure the machine can do the desired task. Investing in a compressor that is too small is going to waste time or just flat out won't do the job. Buying an air compressor that is way too big can waste valuable resources, especially your hard earned money.

It is actually worth citing that the price of a compressor can not be based purely on the up front expenditure of the product. The total cost of something really needs to be according to the sum total over a long duration of time or the life of the unit. Low-cost units are made to be disposable.

A few of the questions that need to be solved will be:

* What is the highest essential operating pressure?

This will likely determine if a Single Stage or Two Stage compressor is certainly necessary.

*What is the maximum necessary air flow usage?

Air flow is measured in cubic feet per minute or CFM. To figure out what you require, tally up each of the air tools that are to be operated together. When dealing with the compressor, add around 25% onto the set CFM total. This may permit a tolerable buffer with respect to undetermined or uncommon compressor use.

Don t simply add up all of the air tools that are utilized through day at work due to the fact that this will produce an overstated CFM number and require the purchase of an exceedingly big compressor.

* Does the machine need to be mobile or stationary?

Verify whether or not the equipment will need to be moved around your shop or construction site frequently or whether it is a stationary item. This will likely aid in pinpointing other elements that include size and weight. Elevated pressures and volumes will need the equipment to generally be larger sized and also heavier in lbs since horsepower specifications, pumping systems, chassis structure, electrical elements, and so on should be bigger to deal with these types of increases.

* What sort of drive system is essential?

Knowing the setting where the compressor is planned to be employed in will affect what kind of drive system the machine needs. If there is always electricity available, then the drive system should really be an electric motor as they quite simply are much less expensive to buy and run and require considerably less general maintenance. If power isn't consistently existing then the capability of a gasoline engine driven compressor is the selection. They feature the best in portability and job site versatility.

* What tank size shall be desirable?

How large the compressor tank, regularly measured in gallons, really needs to be decided by the entire type of usage. In case the usage functions in concise swift concentrated bursts, like an air nailer, then a reduced tank size can be utilized. When the equipment is to experience long stretches of utilization, such as a board sander or impact wrench, a larger tank measurement will be necessary.

Finding The Right Air Compressor Rental

       At some point in your life, whether it be for personal or business, you may need to think about finding an Air Compressor Rental. An air compressor is a device that increases the amount of air in a space by pressurizing or compressing air by converting gas or electrical power into kinetic energy. There is more than one method of compressing air, which can be either negative displacement or positive displacement types, which are defined by how they work. Negative displacement devices use centrifugal force which is generated by a spinning impeller which accelerates then decelerates captured air, resulting in pressurized air. Positive displacement types force air into a chamber, and then the chambers volume is then reduced which effects the compression.

Air compressors are relatively popular, because of all the jobs that can be done with them. They can be used to fill things up with air, such as tires on a car, truck, or bicycle. They can also be used to fill smaller things like air mattresses, beach balls, rafts, and just about anything else that needs to be filled with air, of course you will want to be careful with the smaller items to make sure you do not over fill them which would result in them popping or bursting, for these types of jobs, one normally has a smaller portable air compressor. There are many bigger jobs, in which one would look for an air compressor rental, such as filling gas cylinders, supplying clean air to a submerged diver, powering pneumatic tools such as a jackhammer, airbrush, nail gun, or other types of industrial tools which require compressed air to work.

When looking for a compressor rental, you should know what your needs are, how long you will need the air compressor for, and be willing to look in to a companies safety history, to see if their products are well taken care of. Renting a compressor from a company that has a poor history of safety, might mean you are compromising your own safety, for the compressor may not have been taken care of properly. Always remember to ask questions, and be willing to look around before you decide to rent from a company. Please remember to wear any safety gear recommended for any jobs you may be performing while using an air compressor.

Air Compressors: 6 Vital Questions Buyers Ask - Answered

Air compressor shopping can be such a chore. There are many compressors out there that you don't know which one to actually purchase. Sometimes, people get to hasty in their purchase and end up buying the wrong one.

To help you with this problem, we have answered 6 vital questions that most buyers ask before purchasing their compressors. Read on to be enlightened.

How much money should I spend?

Determining on just how much the budget is for an air compressor should be one of the first steps you should take when planning on buying one. One thing to remember when buying one is that you get what you pay for. Don't think of going cheap with buying a small one for the job needed. You'll just be unproductive. On the other hand, buying something that is too big for the intended use would be a waste of cash. So be careful on your budgeting for this one.

What's the difference in buying one rather than the other?

The air compressor that you are planning to buy should fit the description of what use you have in mind for it. If you look at it that way, there is a big difference. Different compressors give out different give out different PSI's. A small compressor intended for home use could give as much as 150 PSI while the big ones for commercial use can give more than that. If you are planning to use it for small spray guns or to fill your tire up with air, you can go for the compact ones. These have no tanks and should run continuously to get the air flowing.

Should I get one with a small tank or should I just go for the big one?

This actually still depends on what tools you are planning to use it on. If you plan to use it on tools that only need small amounts or quick shots of air, going for one with a smaller tank is fine. However, if you are going to use it for heavy duty equipment such as sanders or impact wrenches, you're better off with a big tank to effectively power the tool.

Compressors come in different horse powers, which one should I get?

Normally, air compressors come with a horse power of 1.5 to 6.5. The higher the horse power, the more PSI it has which means it can carry on a heavier task.

Can I move it around or should I should I just put it in one place?

This is entirely up to you. The compressors that have higher volume and pressure are usually the larger and heavier ones. If you're planning on transporting it, it's good to take the size, power source and weight in to consideration before buying.

What power source does it run on?

They either run on electricity or on gas. Gas models are more powerful and can power up a lot of tools. But if you're tight on your budget, you can go for the electric powered ones since they don't really need much on the maintenance part.

This isn't all there is to learn about air compressors. Arm yourself with more information to arrive at an educated decision in buying air compressors. Read product reviews on leading brands to see how each one holds up. Go online and read articles about air compressors to give you a clearer picture as to which one to go for.

Different Types of Air Compressor Dryers

              Having water in a compressed air system is very damaging to the entire system. Water in the system corrodes pipes, valves, and even causes outdoor airlines to freeze. If water exists in a compressed air system, a compressor dryer is required to remove the water. Three different stages of water exist in compressed air; they are liquid, vapor, or mist. There are different types of available air compressor dryers, and each of use specific functions to remove water from the compression system.

The most commonly used dryer is a refrigerated one. Refrigerated Dryers have two separate functions, the first is to use the air being released to cool down the incoming hot air, and by increasing the temperature of the outgoing air prevents condensation. A newer set of compressors that are being produced with dryers integrated into the compressor. These have mixed reviews, and have yet to gain popularity among users. While this is the main type of air compressor dryer used, there are others available.

A deliquescent dryer is a pressure vessel that has a tablet or powder in the bottom that slowly dissolves into a liquid as it absorbs the water from the air compressor. Once all the power has been transformed into a liquid the pressure vessel is emptied, and another tablet is inserted. A deliquescent Air Compressor Dryer is easy to use, and works great for remote work sites, or for workers that moved around to various work sites. Another type of air compressor dryer is the also uses a pressure vessel, but makes use of substances like silica gel. The purpose of the silica gel is to lower the temperature required for the water to condensate.

Each of these help get rid of water from compressed air, and each has their uses. It depends on the process that works best for each compressor and the environment the dryer will be used in. These dryers have a specific use for processes, and tools that require dry air only. This includes some truck brake systems, air tools, and painting tools that require air compression.
