FAQ's of Air Cooled Reciprocating High Pressure Air Compressor (15 to 20 HP):
Q: How does this air compressor manage high-pressure industrial applications?
A: With a working pressure of 30 to 40 kg/cm2 (425 to 570 PSI) and a robust air-cooled, two-stage reciprocating design, the compressor delivers stable high-pressure air suitable for demanding industrial tasks. Its heavy-duty construction and aftercooler ensure reliable, efficient operation under sustained loads.
Q: What are the safety features included with this compressor?
A: The unit is fitted with a safety valve to prevent overpressure and a heavy-duty brass pressure gauge for accurate monitoring. These features help protect both users and machinery by automatically releasing excess pressure and ensuring surfaces meet operational specifications.
Q: When should the compressor's oil levels and lubrication system be checked?
A: Routine checks are advised before each operating session. Since the compressor uses splash lubrication, ensure the oil level is adequate and free from contaminants to maintain pump longevity and consistent output. Refer to the manufacturer's schedule for detailed maintenance intervals.
Q: Where is this air compressor ideally installed in an industrial setting?
A: This model is best installed in a well-ventilated industrial area on a sturdy, level surface using its base plate mounting. Ensure there is adequate clearance for airflow, maintenance tasks, and safe electrical connections. Its noise level is below 80 dB, making it reasonable for most industrial environments.
Q: What is the air flow capacity and how does it benefit operations?
A: The compressor offers an air flow capacity of 60 to 80 CFM at maximum pressure, ensuring a reliable supply of compressed air for equipment requiring constant, high-volume delivery. This benefits operations by minimizing delays and downtime in high-pressure applications.
Q: How is the compressor powered and started?
A: Powered by a 15 to 20 HP heavy-duty electric motor (415 V, 3 phase, 50 Hz), the compressor can be started using a DOL (Direct On-Line) or Star-Delta starter depending on your operational preference and facility requirements.
