Piston, screw and scroll compressors each win in a different duty cycle band. Compare output, noise, maintenance and real cost per cubic metre before you buy.

A dB(A) figure without a distance is meaningless. Read noise ratings properly - weighting, distance, reflections, enclosure heat - before installing indoors.

Size an oil-free scroll compressor in four steps: real demand, duty cycle, receiver tank math, then drying. Includes the buffer-tank formula and a worked example.

Choosing the right industrial air compressor is a critical decision for any manufacturing plant, workshop,…
