Things You Need To Know Before Buying Reciprocating Compressors Sydney

There are different kinds of compressors Sydney present in the markets and therefore, buying the one you need would be tricky. However, upon consulting the experts, you would surely come to a conclusion that the reciprocating version is the best, but before buying, some of the most important things that you need to know about this version are described below.

As far as the types of this machine are concerned, you would find it in three different types. The names are – 

• Single stage compressors – It compresses the entire air in one stroke right from the ambient to the end. This version typically goes up to 20 CFM of Cubic Feet per Minute at the pressure of 125 PSI.

• Two stage compressors – This version is ideal if you are looking for a little bit more pressure. It uses two stages to compress the air until the end point.  This means that the machine would be having two cylinders/pistons. The big cylinder works in a low pressure stage and the smaller one works in high pressure. 

• The CFM and the pressure of the air compressor are two very important considerations as you decide to buy this machine.

• To find out the needed capacity, simply add up the air consumption of the tools that you wish to run.

• Smaller tools like nailers, etc. use very little pressure, whereas, bigger tools like sanders, grinders, etc. require more pressure to run.

• To find out the pressure required by you, you will have to check the specifications of the tools that you wish to run. 

• The next very important thing to be aware of is the horsepower. The HorsePower or the HP is the term used to define the power of reciprocating and other versions of compressors Sydney.

• This HP is actually the result of the required pressure and capacity. 

• The next very important point to note is the electrical connections.

• The good news is that these things are easy to understand. 

• You will simply have to know the maximum current that your machine is wiring mechanism can handle and depending upon that, you need to determine the amount of electricity you have at your home.

• While purchasing, a very important point that you need to consider is the noise. 

• This is an important factor and would dictate your decision of whether to install it inside your home or outside. 

• The level of noise can be determined by hearing the noise by yourself and not relying upon any document or verbal promise.

• However, noise suppression is also possible if you decide to build an enclosure around the installation. 

• The tank size – The bigger is better

• Compressed air filters – Used for cleaning the air

• Pressure regulators - To regulate the tank pressure back to a stable, lower pressure

• Size and number of air connections

• Vertical or horizontal tank

• Manual or automatic drains

• Weight

• Duty cycle
