While Quincy industrial air compressors comes in different types and models, the most commonly used ones are those that employ positive displacement operating mechanism. The air is being compressed within chambers or compartments that reduce the space for the air. Moreover, while many of the compressors are made of just the motor and the pump, most have air tanks where compressed air can be stored and be ready for use. This stored compressed air is widely used for powering air pneumatic tools that are connected to the supply lines of the equipment. Meanwhile, the compressor’s motor starts and stops to maintain the desired pressure level.
Since there is a wide range of air tools to be powered, Quincy industrial air compressors are manufactured in both one-cylinder and two-cylinder variations. The two-cylinder air compressors are often used by companies and private craftspeople. While each cylinder works differently, they function identically. The major difference between the two is that the two strokes happen during every revolution. The two-cylinder compressors work in two stages in which one piston sends the compressed air from the first cylinder to the next one for another compression cycle. On the other hand, for a single-stage air compressor, a pressure limit is set to about 125 psi.
However, in most operations, there is actually no need to reach the pressure limit, and so the airline of a Quincy industrial air compressor is just set to a regulator in which you can input the right pressure level for a particular tool. In this case, a regulator comes along with two gauges. The first one is attached in front to check the tank pressure while the other one is connected at the end to monitor the airline’s pressure. Moreover, there is an emergency valve that comes with the tank which can help prevent any problem in case something goes wrong with the pressure switch.
