Air Compressor
- Oil−flooded, rotary screw type air compressor, sized to supply a minimum of 140 sCFM (4 m3/min) of usable air.
- Pneumatic Modulating Inlet Valve controls air delivery while maintaining constant pressure.
- Auto Sync™ Balancing System automatically maintains the air pressure within +/− 5% of the water pump pressure throughout the pressure range.
- Air Compressor Oil System contains a spin−on, full−flow oil filter unit and a thermostatic valve to control oil flow to the cooler.
- Air / Oil separator head assembly with spin-on cartridge.
- Air Compressor Cooling System uses the unit's water pump, a copper and brass shell and tube heat exchanger to cool the compressor. The system maintains recommended operating temperatures throughout the full operational range in ambient temperatures up to 115°F (46.1°C). A "fail safe" switch precludes engagement of the compressor PTO unless the fire pump is engaged.
