| First off! This is an example of what not to do, This room caused more problems then it solved. |
| Do you have a room that sounds like this? This is a room built to "quiet down" the air compressor and was built with only one purpose in mind. The person who built it wanted to just make the compressor a little quieter as he worked less than 20 feet away from it all day long. The room measures about 4 feet deep, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet high. The air compressor inside is 15 H.P. On a horizontal tank of 120 gallon capacity. It has a rough foot print of 30 inches wide and 73 inches long. Leaving only about 9 inches between the tank and outside wall in front of the unit. There was no fixed lighting or flow through ventilation for cooling. One thing the person that built this room did not know is that a air compressor has its own needs as well, one of the most important needs is air flow for cooling. When a compressor is running, one of the byproducts of compression is heat, left uncontrolled will cause a loss in efficiency, damage, and repeated failures to you compressor. |
| Now here is one that really works good! This room was built to give the air compressor what it really needs!
|
| One of the best things you can do to save money during the machines lifetime is to plan ahead and invest in setting it up right the first time. The added expenses of building this room will be saved in less time that a service tech has to spend to do proper maintenance of this compressor every quarter! This is how you get a compressor to give you what you really want! To be cost effective and dependable, just keep it simple! |
