Tanair TAN-PCB 1.5/230/270L (230V) – 7.6 x 2 CFM 10 Bar Semi-Duplex Piston Air Compressor (270L)
SKU: TAN-PCB-1.5/230/270L
The Tanair TAN-PCB 1.5/230/270L is a semi-duplex piston air compressor designed for busy workshops that need higher reliability and better duty cycling from a 230V single-phase supply.
Built with two independently driven piston pumps mounted on a shared 270 litre air receiver, this semi-duplex system delivers approximately 7.6 CFM per pump (15.2 CFM combined) at up to 10 Bar.
When integrated with a dedicated control panel, pump operation can be staged or alternated to match demand — helping reduce wear, improve uptime and maintain stable system pressure compared to a single-pump compressor.
Key Specifications
- Voltage: 230V Single Phase
- Configuration: Semi-Duplex (Twin Pump)
- Air Output: 7.6 CFM x 2
- Maximum Pressure: 10 Bar
- Receiver Size: 270 Litres
- Control: Designed for staged / alternating panel operation
Why Choose Semi-Duplex on a 230V Supply?
If you’re limited to single-phase power but need more reliability and duty cycle performance than a single compressor, semi-duplex is the smart option.
- ✔ Improved duty cycle without moving to 415V
- ✔ Reduced wear through alternating pump operation
- ✔ Stable pressure from a shared receiver
- ✔ Better resilience and uptime vs single-pump systems
- ✔ Cost-effective alternative to tandem duplication
Semi-Duplex vs Tandem – What’s the Difference?
A semi-duplex compressor uses two pumps on a shared receiver and is typically operated via a control panel to stage or alternate pump use. A tandem system usually consists of two fully independent compressor units, providing higher redundancy but increased complexity and footprint.
If full duplication is required, view the Tandem Air Compressor Range.
Typical Applications
- Automotive workshops
- Body shops and spray preparation
- Service bays with multiple users
- Commercial workshops requiring reliable uptime
Smoke Ventilation & Life-Safety Applications
Semi-duplex compressors are commonly specified for smoke ventilation and life-safety systems where controlled sequencing and dependable air availability are essential. When operated via a dedicated control panel, pump staging/alternation can be configured to suit system design requirements.
