Compressors
A compressor is nowadays a fairly common component of many home workshops, small businesses, or garages. The advantages of purchasing your own compressor are obvious. A simple example of common compressor use is regular tyre condition checks including their regular top-ups. You can conveniently top up your tyres at home without getting your hands and clothes dirty at a petrol station. Similarly, you will use a compressor for inflating pressure vessels in home water systems, bicycles, motorcycle tyres, trolleys, toys, powering spray guns, as well as for powering pneumatic tools. A compressor will also serve well when blowing dust and dirt from hard-to-reach places during computer or electronics maintenance. The list of functions a compressor can perform at home is endless.
But how do you choose the right compressor?
Small compressors powered by 12 V voltage from a car cigarette lighter socket have the great advantage that you can carry them with you in your car at all times. For tyre inflation, their power is more than sufficient, but the range of use around the vehicle is limited by the length of the power cable.
Compressors without an air tank, so-called air reservoirs, are fully adequate for direct tyre inflation, toy inflation, and also for inflating most pressure vessels in home water systems. They are lightweight, easily portable and can be easily used anywhere within reach of an electrical outlet.
If you want to use a compressor for more demanding work, such as powering some pneumatic tools, it is advisable to choose a compressor with an air tank. After pressurising the tank, the compressor motor automatically switches off and starts again when the pressure in the vessel drops below the set value. During work, you will always have a sufficient supply of compressed air available without the compressor motor running constantly.
