Input performance

The amount of air that the compressor is able to process per unit of time; usually stated in liters per minute. Performance, along with pressure (see below), is one of the most important parameters: it is it that primarily determines how compatible the compressor will be with one or another pneumatic tool.

It is worth choosing a model according to this indicator in such a way that it can be guaranteed to “pull out” all the tools that can be connected at the same time. Air consumption is usually directly indicated in the characteristics of each tool, and it is quite simple to calculate the total requirement. However, due to the design features, the compressor must have a certain performance margin; the specific value of this stock depends on a number of nuances.

The main point is that some companies indicate for their units the performance at the outlet (how much air is supplied to the tool), while others indicate at the inlet (how much air the compressor sucks in). Since no compressor is perfect, part of the air is inevitably lost during the compression process, so the amount of air at the outlet will always be less than at the inlet. Accordingly, if the output performance is indicated in the characteristics, a margin of 10-20% is recommended, and if the input is 35-40%.

There are also more complex techniques that allow you to more accurately derive the required performance depending on the characteristics of specific tools; they can be found in...special sources.
