Air Filter
Porous element contained within a metal or
plastic housing attached to the compressor
cylinder head which removes impurity from the
intake air of the compressor.
Air Tank
Cylindrical component which contains the
compressed air.
Check Valve
Device which prevents compressed air from
flowing back from the air tank to the compres-
sor pump.
Electric Motor
Device which provides the rotational force
necessary to operate the compressor pump.
Pressure Gauge
Device which shows the tank or regulated
pressure ofthe compressed air.
Pressure Switch
Device which automatically controls the on/off
cycling of the compressor. It stops the
compressor when the cut-off pressure in
the tank is reached and starts the compressor
when the air pressure drops below the cut-in
pressure.
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
Measurement of the pressure exerted by the
force of air. The actual psi is measured by a
pressure gauge on the compressor
Pump
Device which produces the compressed air
with a reciprocating piston contained within a
cylinder
Safety Valve
Device which prevents air pressure in the air
tank from rising over a predetermined limit.
Thermal Overload Switch
Device, integrated into the electric motor winding,
which automatically =shuts ofT'the compressor
if the temperature of the electric motor exceeds
a predetermined limit.
