Which compressor is right for me? When purchasing an air compressor, many people "Is a rotary screw or reciprocating Today, the choice of air compressors is abundant. A number of factors determine the answer to this question, including the operating requirements, Ideal for constant-volume applications, rotary screw compressors are used extensively in applications above 30 hp and are often limited to a maximum air pressure of 150 psig. Rotary screw compressors typically have a higher initial cost than reciprocating compressors and require costly maintenance programs. Common advantages include...

COMPRESSOR SELECTION GUIDE * Single-acting lubricated If you desire the advantages of a reciprocating compressor and the low noise of a rotary screw... it is time for you to meet Paradigm.

The Gardner Denver Paradigm provides the advantages of a reciprocating compressor coupled with the low noise of a rotary screw. Ideal for areas with a low noise be installed directly within the work environment close dedicated room or an outside hundreds of feet in piping resulting in reduced pressure drops, ultimately increasing your bottom line. Function: noun Source: www.dictionary.com Heat Control The majority of reciprocating compressors' discharge temperatures can reach a 400° F level or higher. Locating a compressor and motor together in the same cabinet requires a creative heat control...

The Challenges of More Horsepower & More CFM Heat Control As the majority of reciprocating compressors' discharge temperatures can reach a 400° F level or higher, maximizing the motor's service life and its long term reliability remains the challenge in designing a 10 and 15 horsepower quiet enclosed compressor. More CFM requires a larger compressor, so removing the heat from the low noise enclosure requires another creative engineering solution. The 10 and 15 horsepower Paradigm solution implements dual cooling fans that pull cool ambient air from the bottom of the compressor through the package...
