Air Compressors

A machine for generating compressed air, typically for use by air-powered tools or paint sprayers. The compressor takes in air at atmospheric pressure, and increases it to any pressure between 1 psi above atmospheric, and 10,000 psi above atmospheric. Air compressor motors can range from fractions of a horsepower, to multiple thousands of horsepower.

What is a positive displacement air compressor?

An air compressor which is used to compress air in a cylinder, that is reducing the volume and increasing the pressure of air is known as positive displacement air compressor. It is used for the compression process in IC engines.

Is a Morgan air compressor any good?

If you are talking about the Morgan remanifactured air compressors sold at northern tool, then NO they are not good!

They are remanufactured (lowes) Kobalt units, sold by Northern tool. They are built in SC, but the refurb Morgans are basically just the tank with a cheap-o China-made pump thrown on. They only warranty it for 30 days. Not worth our trougle.

I bought their 60-gallon unit 4-5 months ago and it has already laid down on me, and I did not work it hard at all. Nothing close to the 75% duty cycle they claim.

Believe it or not, the pully has spokes hat are supposed to act like a fan to keep it cool, but it does a lousy job. This is not worth the money ... buy a US-made IR and save your trouble.

Who makes husky air compressor?

Home use air compressors are manufactured by Campbell Hausfeld under the Husky brand name.

The clearance ratio for a single stage compressor?

The clearance ratio for a single stage compressor is the ratio of the volume clearance at the end of the suction stroke to the volume displaced by the piston during the compression stroke. It is important to minimize clearance ratio to improve compressor efficiency. A lower clearance ratio indicates less trapped volume and better performance of the compressor.

What does the terminals CSR mean on an air conditioner compressor?

Inside an air conditioner compressor is a motor with two windings: a high-current coil called Start, and a low-current coil called Run. Both windings are connected to each other at a junction, aptly called the Common terminal.

Difference between single acting and double acting reciprocating air compressor?

Reciprocating compressors are either single- or double-acting. In single-acting machines the compression takes place on only one side of the piston; double-acting machines use both sides of the cylinder for compression.

Where can you get an owner's manual for Durabuilt Cordless Tools?

Got the tool kit, cordless drill, flashlight, sander and saw a few years ago. The battery has no charging connector. I need to know how to charge the battery . Please advise.

Will your 4 gallon air compressor 125 max psi 3.7 cfm power your framing nailer 70 to 110 psi 6.63cfm?

The compressor will not be able to keep up with the demand of rapid nail gun firing. In other words, you'd have to stop nailing, and let the compressor catch up.

What happens if a two stage air compressor runs to ong?

It can't run too long. So long as it is adequately lubricated, cooled, and the pressure does not exceed it's relief valve or cutoff switch

if it gets too hot, you'll destroy the internal seals, requiring a teardown.

no lube, and you'll simply destroy it.

Can you store air in a compressor and than use it to generate electricity with an electricity generator?

Let's do some simple math: If a compressor motor takes 3amps to make 100psi at any given time interval (we'll use 5min) it breaks down to about 360-400watts for that 5minutes. No we get a dynamo and backfeed the air through it. The 90 psi will immediately start to drop off, and even if it didn't and you had it connected through. The best you could do (which is impossible) is break even. You'll not save any effort, or money. So although your answer is "yes" I'd have to follow it it with a "not for long."
