Info
This compressor is plumbed into our central air circuit and runs at a 175psi tank pressure, 80psi system pressure. The air system consists of metal pipe for the metal shop and stub into the ladder rack, with a RapidAir system running the rest of the shop.
<<<Insert map of air here>>>
An air compressor converts power using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc, into potential energy stored in pressurized air i.e., compressed air. By running the motor, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When tank pressure reaches its upper limit the air compressor shuts off.
The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use. The energy contained in the compressed air can be used for a variety of applications, utilizing the kinetic energy of the air as it is released and the tank depressurizes.
