How do you select the correct air compressor? 

There are four important figures you must consider when you want to select the correct compressor:

1: The first and most important criteria before you can select an electric compressor is what electricity is available. Single phase or three phase and how many amps are available for the compressor. With three phase variable speed drive units, you multiply your kW by two to determine the Amps you require. All other three phase machines the horsepower by two. Single phase machines you multiply the horsepower by five. (4 hp. = 3kW)

2: What volume of air do you require? This is litre/min or Cub Feet per min (cfm) or m3/min. Without one of these figures, you are lost.

3: What pressure do you need? This is measured in kPa, Bar or psi. Your compressor has a cut in and cut out pressure. The cut in pressure must be higher than the minimum pressure you require. Consider you still have a pressure drop from the compressor to the point of use.

4: What will your duty cycle be? Select the compressor suitable for the duty cycle. Screw or piston, variable speeddrive, load unload or stop start. DIY, medium duty or heavy industrial duty.
