Preface:

The purpose of this publication is to help users understand the basics of compressed air as a power source and to provide initial technical guidance for selecting the right air compressor for specific applications. The central focus is on packaged complete unit air compressors, most commonly used in sizes 30 horsepower and below as measured according to standards for continuous duty compressors. Content has been provided by members of the Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Positive Compressor Sections. Products within the scope of these sections are most frequently used for general purpose industrial air supply, but they also find use in off-shore drilling, construction jobs, locomotives, ships, mining and other specialized applications.
