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 No Air Reservoir Required Eliminates need for portable compressor
38
