What is the working pressure of a low pressure air compressor

Technical description on the working pressure range of low pressure air compressor

In compressed air systems, the working pressure level of equipment is usually classified according to the force intensity of its output air. As one of them, low-pressure air compressors can be defined as follows:

  1. Pressure range definition
    The design output pressure of low-voltage equipment is usually lower than that of medium and high-voltage equipment, and the specific values have floating ranges due to differences in industry application scenarios. The pressure value must be set to meet the needs of light load operations while taking into account energy efficiency.

  2. typical application scenarios
    This type of equipment is widely used in working environments where air pressure requirements are not high, such as:

  • Tire inflation and maintenance
  • Pneumatic tool light load operation
  • Basic air supply for laboratory
  • Food packaging sealing process
  1. design characteristics
    In order to match low-pressure working conditions, the equipment adopts special structural optimization:
  • Reduce the number of compression stages to reduce energy loss
  • Equipped with high flow and low resistance valve banks
  • Adopt low-pressure resistant sealing materials
  1. Differences from other stress levels
    Compared with medium and high-pressure equipment (such as spraying machines and rock drilling machines), low-pressure models have lower energy consumption characteristics at the same flow rate, but their application scenarios are limited by the intensity of pressure demand.

The pressure range described in this description is applicable to conventional industrial low-pressure air compressors, and the specific parameters should be confirmed in conjunction with the equipment technical documentation.
