11. Critical Questions? What type of pneumatic tools will be used?
Will multiple tools be operated simultaneously?
What CFM and Pressure is required to operate tools?
What type of vehicle will the compressor be mounted on? (Boss Application Data Sheet)
What are ambient operating conditions?
What altitude will unit be operated at?
Will any auxiliary equipment be mounted on truck chassis?
If yes, will the auxiliary equipment be operated hydraulically?

12. Critical Questions Continued?
Will the auxiliary hydraulic equipment be operated simultaneously with the compressor?
Does the transmission selected have PTO openings?
Are there multiple openings available?
Is the opening (s) clear of obstructions?
What are the power requirements for the compressor (HP & Torque)?
Are PTO’s available with appropriate HP & Torque throughputs to meet the demand of the compressor?

13. Critical Questions Continued?
Are the PTO’s available with the correct rotation?
Where will the compressor be mounted?
What is the duty cycle of the compressor (Continuous/Intermittent)
What type of engine is installed in the truck chassis?
Is the engine electronically controlled or mechanically controlled?

14. Meeting Customer Compressor Demands
160 CFM
185 CFM
90 Lbs. Pavement Breaker = 75 CFM
(2) 90 Lbs. Pavement Breakers = 150 CFM
160 CFM Air Compressor

15. Compressor Drive Methods
Power-Take-Off
Belt Drive
Hydraulic
Engine

16. What type of pneumatic tools will be used?
Tool Type CFM Required
½ “ Impact CFM
¾ “ Impact CFM
1” Impact CFM
30 Lbs Pavement Breaker 37 CFM
60 Lbs Pavement Breaker 48 CFM
90 Lbs Pavement Breaker 68 CFM
4 Inch Piercing Tool CFM

17. Will multiple tools be operated simultaneously?

18. What CFM and Pressure is required to operate tools?
¾ Inch Impact = 6-8 CFM
90 Lbs. Pavement Breaker = 68 – 75 CFM

19. What type of vehicle will the compressor be mounted on?

20. What are the ambient operating conditions?

21. What altitude will the compressor be operated at?
23 Horsepower per PSI
½ of 1% per PSI over 100 PSI
150 PSI = 50 PSI X .5% = 25% More HP
PSI = 29 HP

22. Will any auxiliary equipment be mounted on the truck?
Hydraulic Winch
Knuckle Boom Crane
Aerial Device
Digger Derrick
Dump Bodies

23. If yes, will the auxiliary equipment be operated hydraulically?

24. Will the auxiliary hydraulic equipment be operated simultaneously with the compressor?

25. Does the vehicle transmission have a PTO opening?

26. Are multiple PTO openings available on the transmission?

27. Are the PTO Openings Clear of Any Obstructions?

28. What Are the Power Requirements of the Compressor?
Torque = HP x 5252/Input Speed
125 CFM = RPM
29 x 5252 = 152,308/1450 RPM = 105 Lbs. Ft. Torque

29. Are PTO’s Available With the Appropriate HP & Torque Through Puts to Meet the Demand of the Air Compressor?

30. Are PTO’s Available With the Correct Rotation?

31. Are the PTO’s That Are Available, Offered With the Correct Percentage to Engine Speed?
125 CFM = 1450 RPM / 130% Ratio = 1115 Engine RPM
125 CFM = 1450 RPM / 50% Ratio = 2900 Engine RPM

32. What is the duty cycle? Continuous or Intermittent

33. What is the Performance curve of the engine selected?

34. What If the Transmission Does Not Have a PTO Opening?

35. SplitShaft PTO Option

36. Rotary Screw Air Compressor
Continuous Duty – Designed 24/7 Operation
Performance to 550 CFM
