Check rate of air pressure buildup: When the engine is at operating RPM, the pressure should build from 85 to 100 psi within 45 seconds in dual air systems. (If the vehicle has larger than minimum air tanks, the buildup time can be longer and still be safe.
In many cases, the cost of electricity over two years exceeds the purchase price of the compressor itself. Annual maintenance costs are an additional 10% or more of the initial compressor cost. Compressed air is necessary for many plant processes, but it is an inefficient source of energy.You need 7 to 8 hp of electrical power to operate a 1 hp air motor of a compressor.The overall efficiency of a typical compressed air system can be as low as 10% to 15%!ompressed air is necessary for many plant processes, but it is an inefficient source of energy.
