Focus on Compressors, Fans & Blowers

| By Gerald Ondrey

Two-stage, vertical-tank stationary air compressors

These two-stage vertical-tank stationary air compressors (photo) provide 175 psi and displace between 9.1 and 43.6 ft/min. Each compressor uses a heavy-duty, two-stage cast-iron pump and powder-coated, ASME-certified tank. A large flywheel provides for extra cooling and easier startup, while special unloading valves further assist the motor in starting. A directional air shroud helps reduce pump temperatures, and a thermal-overload protection feature prevents the motor from drawing too much current and overheating. The two-stage vertical-tank stationary line is powered by a one- or three-phase electric motor that provides between 2 and 10 hp. — Jenny Products, Inc., Somerset, Pa.
