3. Why Use An Air Compressor
• Professional automotive mechanics and builders use air tools because
they deliver more torque and rpm’s than electric-powered tools and
they are lighter.
• Consumers use air compressors to tackle projects just like the pro’s.
Projects that involve wood working, automotive maintenance and
spray painting are much easier with an air compressor
• Besides powering power tools, they can be used for the following:
To inflate tires, pool floats and other inflatable’s
To force water out during irrigation system, swimming pool and hot tub
shutdowns
• Commercial enterprises such as dental offices, dry cleaners, barber
shops and car washes use compressed air

5. The Heart of a Air Compressor
The Pump
As the piston goes down, a vacuum is created above it, this
allows outside air to push open the inlet valve and fill the
area above the piston. As the piston moves up, the air
above it compresses, holds the inlet shut and pushes the
discharge valve open.
The air moves from the
discharge poet to the tank. With
each stroke, More air enters the
tank and pressure rises.

6. Common Air Compressor Types
Oil Lubed or Oil-Less
• Oil Lubed
Most reciprocating compressors are oil type. Moving pistons generate friction
and heat. To protect the pump, some type of lubricant is needed. They do
require regular maintenance and they should be operated on a level surface.
The benefits to an oil lubed compressor are: much longer life and a much
quieter machine. They are slightly more costly to build and that results in a
slightly higher retail. Applications such as nail guns, automotive work and tire
inflating use this type compressor.
• Oil-Less
This type is usually found on lower horse powered units. They have a Teflon
lining to protect the pump. The Teflon gets hot and usually wears out after
continuous usage. Applications that require no oil such as spray painting, fine
wood working, dental office and food handling use oil-less compressors.

10. CFM
Cubic Foot per Minute
This is the most important number to look Tool CFM
at when choosing an air compressor. Brad Nailer 0.3
Each device or tool has certain CFM Sander 11-13
requirements to operate at full performance. Impact 4-5
Wrench
To the right is an example of CFM usage: Ratchet 2-5
Die Grinder 4-6
To be sure the customer buys the right Compressor Framing Gun 2.2
to meet his tools CFM needs, Multiply the greatest
Spray Gun 2-4
CFM requirement by: 1.5. i.e. 13 cfm x 1.4 = 19.5.
.
Purchase a compressor that delivers at least 19.5 CFM.

11. PSI & HP
• PSI
This is a measurement for air pressure, measured in Pounds per
Square Inch. Most air tools are manufactured to operate best at 90
PSI.
• HP
Horse Power is the measurement of the power of the motor or
engine. Most compressor motors range from 1HP to 7HP.
Many lower end brands overstate their horse power to mislead the
customer.
If the unit has a quality pump, a lower HP can deliver plenty of
CFM
The most important numbers to pay attention to are CFM and PSI
