Air Compressors
Ohm’s Law and your compressor: Understanding the electrical connection
Every air compressor depends on a stable, well-balanced electrical supply. When voltage, current or resistance fall outside their normal range, your compressor can lose efficiency, struggle to start, or shut down unexpectedly. A simple electrical principle, Ohm’s Law helps explain why this happens and what it means for the long-term reliability of your compressed air [...]
When it comes to your compressor, what is air pressure?
Understanding compressed air pressure and flow When discussing compressed air systems, pressure and flow are integral parts of how a system will utilise air. Let's dive into the difference between the two and the nature of the relationship between pressure and rate of flow within a compressed air system. What is compressed air pressure? [...]
What is compressed air?
WHAT IS COMPRESSED AIR? Compressed air is used all around us in everyday life. It can be used in the form of blowing air or as an energy source, from the air in a balloon, riding a roller coaster to visiting the dentist. Compressed Air is often called “The Fourth Utility” because it is [...]
Ensure your Air Compressor runs Smoothly
As we begin the new year with soaring hot temperatures, are you confident that your compressed air system can cope? The hot weather can put a lot of stress on your compressed air system and as the temperature starts to rise a number of maintenance issues can occur. here are our top tips on [...]
Understanding the Different Air Compressor Types
Purchasing an air compressor isn't a decision to be taken lightly. One would need to consider the type of application this compressor is needed for and any other unique requirements. Selecting the right compressor can save your business a lot of money, energy and time in the long run. Whether you need a general purpose [...]
Working safely with compressed air
Compressed air is a powerful energy source used across many industries to run tools, machinery and processes. But when it’s not handled properly, it can pose serious safety risks. Whether air is stored in receivers or supplied direct from your compressor, it travels through regulators, air lines and hoses to deliver energy to your equipment. [...]
Can Your Compressed Air Dryer Cope This Summer?
Overheated System = Production Down Time Like us, your compressed air system can sweat in the warmer months! Air Dryers can act as an air conditioner to your airline; eliminating condensation due to humidity, and therefore preventing damage to your expensive equipment. As the months get hotter some compressed air dryers don’t function as [...]
Why Your System Needs A Compressed Air Dryer
A Compressed Air Dryer is used for removing water vapour from compressed air. Humidity is a component of atmospheric air, which can be found in the form of condensate and/or vapour in compressed air distribution systems and the machines that use the compressed air. If the condensate can be easily separated and discharged, humidity, in [...]
