2. Air Compressor Uses

Air compressors take a gas, usually air, and compress it down into a smaller space. The compression is usually done by cooling the air quickly using water, oil, or fans. The cooler the air is, the smaller its volume becomes. Once the air is compressed, it can either be stored easier, such as in the case of air compressors on scuba diving gear, or it can be directed into a pipe or hose and expelled at a high velocity. There are many different uses for air compressors.

Air compressors are found in scuba equipment. The air tanks on the back of a scuba diver are full of compressed air. This allows the scuba diver to have far less bulky equipment, and more air in the tanks than otherwise would be possible.

Many automotive related Texas businesses also use air compressors. Air compressors provide the air to clean off parts and pump up tires. Industrial air compressors are found in most, if not all, factories and manufacturing plants around Texas. They help run machines efficiently and also help with cleaning tasks. You can also find air compressors in doctor’s offices and Texas hospitals where they are used to power important equipment.

Finally, air compressors are helpful around the home. They can power other tools, such as nail guns. Also, spray painting with a spray gun is done with the use of an air compressor. Air torque wrenches are powered with air compressors. Many homes in Texas find purchasing an air compressor for their home is a great way to increase the contents of the toolbox. There are three main types of air compressors. These types are reciprocating air compressors, rotary screw air compressors, and centrifugal air compressors.

3. Storage Tanks

Before discussing the different types of air compressors, it is helpful to know about the main considerations that are common to all types. Most air compressors come with a storage tank. When shopping around Texas for an air compressor, the storage tank is one thing you need to consider to help you determine which model is right for your needs.

First, you need to understand that the capacity of air compressor storage tanks is read in gallons. The larger the storage tank, the more cubic feet per minute of air that the tank can deliver. Storage tank size does not directly affect the number of pounds per square inch of air that the tank can deliver, however. Just because a compressor has a large storage tank does not mean it provides a stream of high pressure air.

If you are going to use your air compressor to run tools in your Texas home, check the manual for the tools before you start your shopping. Almost all air powered tools have specific requirements as to the volume of air they can handle, as well as the pressure. Make sure that you do not buy too small of a storage tank with your air compressor. If you are planning on running several different tools with your air compressor, choose the storage tank capacity based on the tool with the largest need. You can add a little more to the storage tank capacity to be safe with all of your tools. A tool without enough air running through it will not function properly.

4. Power for Air Compressors

Air compressors are measured in power units called horsepower, or HP. Most home air compressors in Texas have motors which are in the 1.5 to 6.5 HP range. Industrial air compressors are generally more powerful than this.

Power is supplied to air compressors in two different forms. Some air compressors around Texas are electrically powered. This is the most common type of air compressor, particularly for home uses. Electric powered air compressors can plug into an outlet or be powered by batteries, depending on the size of the compressor.

The other type of power supply for air compressors is gasoline. Gas powered air compressors are used in areas where it is hard to find a supply of electricity. They are popular choices for industrial air compressors around Texas, particularly for construction sites where power is not always available. Gas powered air compressors need to be used in well-ventilated areas.

When choosing an air compressor around Texas for your home or business, consider what form of power will be most easily accessible. In most instances, the answer will be electric power. Remember, if you buy a gas powered air compressor, you will need to have gasoline on hand to keep it running.
