What is an air compressor?<\/h3>\n

An air compressor is a machine designed to produce compressed air.\u2028The compressed air becomes a source of energy for pneumatic accessories and tools, such as, blowers, paint guns, jackhammers, etc.<\/p>\n

How they work<\/h3>\n

The air is sucked into a cylinder on the piston-down stroke and then compressed and fed to the tank on the same piston\u2019s up stroke (exactly the same principle as a bicycle pump).<\/p>\n

How is a compressor\u2019s performance measured?<\/h3>\n

ITwo parameters need to be taken into account: pressure and flow rate.<\/p>\n

The pressure is measured in bar (1 bar = 1 kg \/ cm2<\/sup>).
\nThe flow rate is measured in litres per minute or\u00a0m3<\/sup>\u00a0per hour.
\nA distinction must be made between the\u00a0suction flow rate<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(volume of air sucked in by the compressor) and the\u00a0discharge flow rate<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(volume of compressed air produced by the compressor) \u2013 the latter should be used when choosing a compressor.<\/p>\n

The pressure and flow rate are needed to determine the most appropriate compressor.<\/p>\n

Direct drive or belt drive compressors?<\/h3>\n

The cylinder or cylinders are driven by a direct coupling to an electric motor (direct drive), or via a belt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to decide which compressor to buy ?<\/h3>\n

You need to determine:
\n1\/ The intended use: blow, inflate, paint, tighten, etc,<\/p>\n

2\/ The usage intensity: occasional, regular or intensive,<\/p>\n

3\/ Usage frequency: intermittent or continuous,<\/p>\n

As a general rule, you should choose an air compressor with a discharge air flow rate that is equal to or slightly higher than the consumption of the tool or accessory that will be used.<\/p>\n

What are the advantages of the TRE range?<\/h3>\n
