I'm considering an application that requires less than 1 CFM (about 0.84), at 80 PSI. It has to run 24/7. Are there any rotary screw compressors that offer such a low flow rate, or would it be better to use a high-pressure, reciprocating compressor, with a suitable tank, and lower duty cycle? One of those big, size 300, gas cylinders can handle 2400 PSIG, and have a volume of 49.8 liters. With that much compressed air, the cylinder could provide air for over an hour before needing to be refilled. Would it make more sense to use a high pressure compressor, with a tank like that, and have a lower duty cycle, or are rotary screw compressors still the way to go? Also, how good are the oil filters for these rotary screw compressors? I'm working with air bushings.
This one should work for the specifications you are wanting. greggdistributors.ca/Tools-Shop-Equipment-and-Storage/Pneumatics/Air-Compressors/Rotary-Screw-Air-Compressors/chiqrs75hp1. Thanks.
Chicago Pneumatic has a 7.5hp which you can see here: greggdistributors.ca/Tools-Shop-Equipment-and-Storage/Pneumatics/Air-Compressors/Rotary-Screw-Air-Compressors/chiqrs75hp1 DV Systems has a 10hp which you can see here: greggdistributors.ca/Tools-Shop-Equipment-and-Storage/Pneumatics/Air-Compressors/Rotary-Screw-Air-Compressors/devb10vsd Thanks for watching!
