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 kind of oil goes in a Durabuilt air compressor model DB 1552?
Compressor oil ! ( light clear mineral oil)
What is the electrical rating for a Quincy QT-54-5-60VE air compressor?
Assuming your power supply is 230 volts, single phase: Full load amp draw = 21, circuit breaker = 50, minimum wire size = 10.
How do you bypass the Air conditioning Compressor on a 93 Topaz?
To bypass the air conditioning compressor on a 1993 Mercury Topaz, you'll need to remove the drive belt from the compressor pulley. First, locate the serpentine belt tensioner and use a wrench to relieve tension on the belt. Once the belt is off the compressor, you can either leave it off or reroute the belt to bypass the compressor entirely, ensuring that the belt remains taut around the remaining pulleys. Be cautious to check for proper alignment and tension on the new belt setup.
An air compressor will not work in outer space as it requires air to compress. Without air molecules to compress, the compressor cannot function. Condensation will not form in the air tank in the absence of an atmosphere or water vapor.
What does compressor look like?
An AC compressor is aprox the size of a 1 lb can of coffee, located on the front of the engine and is belt driven.
Can you take a horizontal air compressor and use it vertically?
What kind of air compressor is it? And if it is oil lubricated no!
How many cans of 134 does it take to fill a car compressor?
Depends on the car and you should fill to the correct PSI level if you do not have a totally empty system.
In a air compressor there are 3 belts if 1 belt is broken can you run the compressor?
Yes but only for a short while because its designed to have all three belts to drive the pulley / pulleys correctly........
What is the function of booster compressor?
to compress an already compressed gas/air to a higher planned pressure.
Constantly running air compressor for a Ruud electric heat pump What does this mean?
If the outdoor temp is around 35*or lower, it probably means nothing other than you are near the balance point when the unit should switch to auxiliary (electric) heat. At 35* or so & lower the heat pump alone can no longer extract heat from the ambient air effectively and you may also develop ice over problems on the outdoor unit. If these are not the temps you are experiencing when this occurs you should have it looked at.
Obviously you can attempt to use it for something else, such as an air compressor, but it is NOT SAFE to do it!
You could drive around on the wrong side of the road but it is NOT SAFE to do it!
You could put your hand into a fire and hold it there but it is NOT SAFE to do it!
In general the reasons for saying it is not safe to use something other than a dryer on a dryer outlet are all about being sure that the circuit you will use for the air compressor has:
- the right size of wires to carry the current and
- the right size of breakers on the main supply panel to protect the air compressor - and the wiring to it - from catching fire if there is ever a malfunction.
Air compressors are quite different to dryers and you have to be sure you wire them up correctly and safely to avoid there being any kind of risk of anyone getting electrocuted.
As you asked this question here, the best advice anyone should give you so you can use your air compressor with no worries is to ask a licensed electrician for his advice. He can also quote you for installation of the correct type of outlet, wiring and breakers on the main supply panel to power your air compressor safely.

Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you put just one wire in the wrong place you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire.
How to do this http://jobs.answers.com depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the appliance you wish to install. If it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc., or outside in the yard or by a pool-side area - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Where is the air compressor on a 2009 Peterbilt truck?
That's going to depend on what engine you have. If you have the Cummins ISX, it'll be on the left side of the vehicle, towards the front of the engine, and the high pressure fuel pump will sit above it.
Can an upright air compressor be used in laying down position?
If it is an oil lubricated compressor (which most vertical/uprights are, only a few are oil-free). Not only can it NOT be used horizontally, it cannot be transported horizonatally with oil in the crankcase. Oil will seep out of the crankcase, past piston ring, and into the pump causing hyraulic lock.
Who manufactures Kobalt compressors?
I was under the impression that Kobalt was a sister affiliate made by snap-on
How can you troubleshoot air compressor failures?
An air compressor is a complicated machine , in order to trouble shoot any problems , there must be a detailed description of the problem/s.
Snubber is Pulsation damper that is installed on suction and discharge of compressors. It provides a continuous stream on reciprocating compressors.

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.
