Car pump

For most drivers, the car's air pump only comes to mind when a major inconvenience occurs - a flat tire.

However, a pump is a pretty good gift for drivers of newly purchased cars, as well as for those who simply want to save money and time from periodic air addition services.

If you need pneumatic tools, then you need a car pump, also known as a tire compressor - a device that compresses air and inflates tires under strong impact .

A car compressor is a technically complex device, manufactured by more than a dozen companies . Therefore, it is natural that there are many offers in this regard on the market. It is not surprising that when purchasing such equipment for operation, it is necessary to take into account certain parameters.

Things to consider when buying a foot pump

Since hand pumps have been a thing of the past for many years, you will often find a large selection of electric pumps on the market, which differ in their features, price, and design . We offer a review of several of them, and one of them is oil compressors.

When working with such devices, a special oil is used, thanks to which the friction force between the contacting surfaces is reduced. As a result, the heating rate is slowed down and the efficiency, resource and duration of continuous operation are increased.

Lubrication protects the piston, cylinder and other parts from corrosion. On the other hand, you have to add oil to a certain level at regular intervals and change it during the production process, which is not very convenient. It is also necessary to ensure that the machine does not overheat, otherwise it will not be able to continue working.

Advantages:

• Increased resource (up to 3000 hours), receiver capacity up to 500 liters;
• Pressure up to 80 bar, productivity from 80 to 3400 l / min;
• Reduced heating rate;
• Protection against corrosion;
• Affordable price.

Disadvantages:

• The need for frequent disconnection;
• High noise

The most popular among oil-powered devices are household models that are used for work in workshops and garages. More powerful compressors are suitable for use in service stations.

Car pump - how to choose one

Pressure - shows the force of air compression: it is measured in "bars" (1 bar ≈ 0.99 atmospheres). With this value, you can determine the degree of interaction with the desired tool. For example, a spray gun needs about 6 bar. You should always choose a small margin, because during the period of use, the pressure can decrease by several points.

Performance - productivity - an indicator that determines the volume of air (gas). Usually measured in l / min. This parameter is not stable, as it depends on the characteristics of the model and the ambient temperature.

Power is one of the important components that you should pay attention to when buying a compressor. It is measured in kW. The more powerful the motor, the higher the pressure and performance. It can be determined by multiplying the power and energy consumption (kW).

Fuel used - Diesel, gasoline, and electricity are used to operate the engine.

Receiver capacity - an important parameter that should be proportional to the characteristics of the device itself. The smaller the tank, the faster you can fill it, but the risk of pressure surges will increase. The larger the capacity, the situation changes in the opposite direction. For household appliances, it is not advisable to buy a receiver with a capacity of more than 50 liters.

Noise - the smaller the better. Often the noise reaches 86 dB. Thanks to various sound-absorbing materials, this figure can be reduced to 68 dB.

Additional options:
Of course, the following parameters are taken into account when choosing:

1. Dimensions;
2. Weight;
3. Value;
4. Warranty period
