What are the advantages of using compressed air vs. other power sources?
The advantages are many and are summarized in the following list:
Does a new compressor have to be broken in?
No, it does not. However after an install, you should power up the system from 0 to whatever the cut-off pressure is and check for any leaks that may be present.
What size of compressor do I need?
In order to determine what size compressor will meet your requirements you need to establish how it will be used. For example, if you will be using it to power air tools, then you need to determine the CFM of each tool. There are many applications for air compressors. If you need help deciding which size is best for you, please contact Mi‑T‑M at 800-553-9053 and we will be happy to assist you.
For applications involving less than 20 hours per week, a direct-drive system may be more appropriate. Direct-drive units spin at approximately twice the RPM of belt-driven counterparts. These units are often more compact, making them easier to transport. Additionally, they typically offer a more cost-effective solution for users with lighter usage needs.
How much air pressure do I need?
Air pressure is determined by the highest minimum pressure requirement. For example, some tools consume more air than others. Tools such as pneumatic nail-guns and staplers consume smaller amounts of air, while air grinders and sprayers consume larger amounts. Most tools have an usage rating for CFM consumption at a recommended PSI. This can be found on the tool itself or in the owner’s manual supplied by the tool manufacturer.
