[TheForge] greater than or equal to 10 hp air compressor

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

what are the reliable brands for 10 hp or greater air compressors?
what are the environmental factors with such machines? do they require
their own machinary room and extensive sound damping insulation?
with this size of air compressor are you more likely to find air driers
attached to these units or not?

speaking of air driers, are they worth the money spent to purchase and
operate one?


what are the pros and cons of using the rotary screw air compressor?

there are duplex units on the markets. these units have 2 motors and 2
compressors on the same pressurized air reservior.

Chicago Pneumatic 10-HP 120-Gallon Duplex Two-Stage Air Compressor
(208/230V 3-Phase)

would using several 5 hp air compressors supplying the same pressurized
air system have the same performance as the duplex units?

is the performance of the duplex units equal to the performance of a
single 10 hp or 15 hp air compressor?


well once again i am nodding off so this may not be asa clear as i would
like it to be.
