How to choose the best compressors
Once done the review of the best compressors on the market, we propose below the characteristics to look for in such a product, in case you want to look for it independently.Structure, and consequent capacity Pressure and power Transportability Noise level Secondary accessories
Structure, and consequent capacity
One of the factors to consider before purchasing a compressor is the structure, with consequent capacity. In fact, on the market we find two large families of products, compressors with tank (specific for long-lasting jobs) and those without (for all short jobs such as inflating products). The choice therefore must be based on the future use of this machinery. In this article we have favored products without a tank.Pressure and power
There are several factors to consider before making a purchase of this kind, in addition to those mentioned above. First of all, it is a duty to buy a product with good pressure, it represents a fundamental value. The pressure is defined by the ability of a product to store air in the tank, which is why the higher the value, the greater the power of the air jet. There are two units of measurement, namely bar or in psi (pounds-force per square inch, in other words it is the Anglo-Saxon unit of measurement, which is characterized by 1 bar = 14 psi). For a good compressor we are around 8 bar, but it is also right to choose based on your uses, your needs and, above all, your wallet. An example of all is the gun to inflate a wheel, which has a pressure of up to a maximum of 3 bars of pressure.Power also plays a fundamental role, because pressure also depends on this factor. which is generated by the compressor. For this reason, below we show you what are the differences between electric and petrol motors of a compressor.
Electric motor (AC). It is a product powered simply by electricity, which can reach a value of about 2 horsepower, in other words 1,500W. The products characterized by an electric motor have a variable power between 1 and 2 horses, which are characterized by their role as articles for domestic work. Petrol engine. These items are designed for industrial uses, and tend to be characterized by a higher power than electric ones. Clearly, these compressors are therefore recommended for professionals in the sector and the purchase is essential for those who work with tires or other products to be inflated. Direct current motor (DC). A different argument is made for portable compressors, also the subject of this buying guide, since they represent an excellent companion on camping adventures, or to inflate the bicycle wheel, when the latter is deflated. The compressors that have motors of this kind have a limited power and, clearly, a reduced flow rate, which is why they are recommended for those who have no significant need. Transportability
In addition to power, pressure and structure, the portability factor must also be kept in mind. Compressors, especially industrial ones, are notoriously large and difficult to transport from one place to another, which is why the purchase of portable models is recommended for those who intend to carry around a compressor, in a car or in a backpack. Instead, the purchase of models with tank is aimed at those who want a product for professionals, and therefore it is very important to evaluate the presence of handles and wheels for transport.
An excellent compressor can be transported in any in fact, the larger models have wheels of all sizes, especially those with generous dimensions that have additional wheels to facilitate transport. In addition to this, the location must also be considered, such as an electrical socket for models with an electric motor or a large space for large compressors.
Noise
It is also necessary to consider the noise factor. These products tend to be noisy, and this last factor must be in line with the use we will make of the compressor. For this reason it is very advisable to also keep in mind the purchase of a silencer, capable of greatly reducing the noise, or to orient yourself to electrical items or those already silenced by the manufacturer.Secondary accessories
Last, but not least, are the secondary accessories. These tools allow a compressor to become practically universal, and therefore compatible with all types of unions. Finally, the presence of accessories also allows you to make a small saving. For example, the most important are:Pressure gauge Various sized nozzles for sports equipment Household cleaning nozzles Rubber hoses of varying lengths Tire adapter Spray gun
