Features To Consider
When choosing your air compressor consider the following:

ASME tank (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)

Belt-driven Air Compressor — Belt-driven compressors have a longer life, produce less vibration and transfer less heat from the motor to the pump.

Cast iron cylinder or cast iron pump sleeves — Cast iron is the standard material for cylinders

Fully packaged unit that comes with magnetic motor start, dual control, belt guard mounted air cooled after cooler and electric condensate drain already wired and mounted

Low-oil shutdown – downtime and costly repairs resulting from low oil levels are prevented

Oil-Free (or Oil-less) compressors are maintenance-free and suitable for light- to general-duty applications.

V-design cylinders — V-design cylinders run cooler that in-line cylinders.

Vertical vs. horizontal air compressors — Vertical compressors usually take up less floor space than horizontal compressors. Most often vertical compressors are fixed. Horizontal compressors are smaller and so more appropriate for portable applications.

100% Continuous Speed or Auto Start/Stop- Auto start/stop operation has preset cut in/cut out pressures. The compressor stops and starts as air is needed. Constant speed operation has the compressor running continuously and adjusts the air output according to demand. Dual control compressors have selectable auto start/stop and continuous speed operation.
